A big game is right around the corner for the New Orleans Saints, and hopefully, after the trade deadline, the rookies can lead the Saints to a win.
WR Jordyn Tyson
It was an exciting debut for Tyson. Yes, he fumbled on his first catch, but it was a really great play by the Browns defender, and Tyson will learn not to reach like that if he is not close enough to the end zone. But after that, when he was able to play, Tyson was open every time he was on the field and picked up some very important yards.
Per head coach
Kellen Moore, Tyson will have a larger role in the offense in Week 10, and he could have an incredible performance against the Panthers.
DT Christen Miller
I really do not know what to say anymore. Miller was a healthy scratch on Sunday. I wish there was more clarity on this situation because it makes zero sense why he is not playing. Miller has been a whelming run defender and has made little impact in pass rush, which is perfectly fine. He needs to play more.
Hopefully, after the Davon Godchaux trade, Miller can have more snaps, even if he’s not the starter.
TE Oscar Delp
I hoped that Delp would be more involved in the offense, but that didn’t happen. Maybe if he were the receiver instead of Noah Fant on that drop, the Saints would have scored a touchdown on that play.
The Saints need to start prioritizing the youth on this roster, and I’m hoping Delp can finally get some consistent targets against the Panthers.
OG Jeremiah Wright
News on Cesar Ruiz’s injury has not been released yet, so it’s unknown if Wright is going play, but if he does, good luck to him. The Browns defensive line is very good, and it’s going to be his biggest test yet. He wasn’t horrible against the Steelers, but it was also not good, and he looked like a rookie out there. That’s the expectation, but the Saints will need to see more from him against the Browns.
WR Bryce Lance
It’s time for Lance to be benched and not involved in the offense. He was thrown to once and dropped the ball, which completely stalled the drive and was outperformed by his fellow rookie WRs. Lance is a good blocker, but he’s making consistent mistakes.
WR Barion Brown
Now to Brown; he had a much better day. Like with Tyson, Brown made a really bad mistake that resulted in a fumble, but outside of that, he had a great day. Brown was getting the Saints in great field position on nearly every return and had a 50+ yard catch in this game.
I’m hoping that Brown can take over Lance’s snaps and potentially get a few catches against the Panthers.
RB CJ Donaldson
Donaldson has been injured and is lower on the depth chart now.
OT Mason Murphy
It seems like Kelvin Banks Jr. is on his way back, so Murphy’s chances of starting become even lower.
DB Lorenzo Styles Jr.
As usual, Styles will likely stick with the special teams unit, but it will be interesting to see what happens if Justin Reid gets traded.
