The second thing I would like to draw attention to was the play of a couple of Saints players, Joseph Morgan, an undrafted free agent Wide Receiver for the Saints, he had only one catch, although it was an amazing grab, but he really shined on punt returns, he had only one return that went for less than 10 yards, and that one was a fair catch.
He averaged 17 yards per return and had one amazing punt return for a TD.
Then there was the the play of Joique Bell, the 5'11'' running back the Saints signed last year when Chris Ivory and Pierre Thomas were placed on IR, he had 9 attempts for 52 yards and averaged 5.8 yards per carry, and some really nice runs, much like the next guy on my list Chris Taylor another running back, he had 39 yards rushing and TD on 9 carries and averaged 4.3 yards per carry.
Both of those guys showed flashes of being good running backs, and potentially could be starting running backs in the NFL, and I maintain that any team that doesn't have quality players at a few positions should be signing the guys the New Orleans Saints cut.
The other great showing I saw from the Saints was backup QBs Chase Daniel and Sean Canfield.
My expectations for Chase Daniel can be put like this, Blaine Gabbert was his backup, i.e. he is better than Blaine Gabbert, and you should all know by now what I expect out of Blaine Gabbert, I expect better out of Chase Daniel.
At 6'0'' and with deadly accuracy so far (a 62% completion percentage against), he would appear to be another Drew Brees style Quarterback, with the ability to scramble very well.
Sean Canfield is a whole other cat, at 6'4'' he has protypical size for the position, now I haven't seen much of him in the NFL in his first game he went 1/2 with 21 yards.
In his Senior year of college football, he had 3,271 yards passing and a 67.9% completion percentage, and 21 TDs to 7 Interceptions (3-1 TD-Int ratio).
Both of them should have very good NFL careers, one with the Saints once Drew Brees retires (probably Chase Daniel) and one with another team.
