Actually think an underrated thing is all these major businesses now have a vested interest in protecting the coast and will help fund restoration efforts

We need more killers on defense

Kind of agree that it almost doesn’t matter what position… we need an all pro type playmaker
Was thinking today that next years draft will really set the stage to go from our rebuild to contending for a Super Bowl.

I genuinely think we have everything on offense needed to compete for a Super Bowl if Shough is who we think he is.

I think our first 2 picks would need to be DE and DB. Feel like 2 impact players there could really elevate us.

Mid round probably draft Kamara and Reid’s replacements.. and OL/DT depth never hurts

I also think going after the top kicker in the draft will be important to get a weapon there and not a liability which it seems we have now

After re watching the second half our 2nd 3rd DTs need a upgrade. It was Swiss cheese all half.

All guys that aren’t making the team

Overall depth looks to be the best we've had in years! IMO, Each of these guys earned roster spots last night, now they have to hang onto them. QB-#4 Zach Wilson: He took the QB2 spot. I expected him to from signing, was surprised to continue to see Rattler as QB2 in camp despite Rattler having a good camp, but again he showed when the lights come on he's a different player. RB-#30 Audric Estime: He's violent & surprisingly shift for his size. He's the power back we need, especially with Taysom gone. He does need to work on pass protection though. Hope his ankle is okay from that nasty tackle. WR-#16 Bub Means: Bub has always flashed, now he needs to stay healthy. Excited to see it! WR-#10 Trey Palmer: I did not expect him to be that physical and be a contested catch guy but man those were some great catches on the sidelines yesterday. Love to see a player going all out and taking advantage! RG-#65 Jeremiah Wright: (Not that his roster spot was in limbo) Took a couple expected lumps last night but overall I thought he had a pretty strong game! Getting beat on some snaps is expected and even needed at this stage. Excited to watch him become refined & technical. DT-#52 Christen Miller: Showed some motor & hustle last night, good to see from a 320lb DT. Lost a few reps, but also won plenty. Looks like he's got a high ceiling. LB-#53 Jaylen Ford: Really nice to see him flying around making plays, and get great leaping INT. He did whiff on one tackle, but it's still 1st preseason game so it's all expected. I had him on the bubble, battling for a spot with Isaiah Stallbird, pending how much coaches valued his ST play but after last night it's his spot to lose. CB-#22 Martin Emerson Jr: We all expected him to be CB3 or CB4 at signing but the first couple of weeks of camp weren't great for him. He knocked some rust off this week and made plays, then rose to the occasion in game. Great story, love to see him bounce back after injury, and awesome news for our CB depth. DB-#38 Jayden Price: Prior to camp I figured he was another PS candidate, but he's had a great camp and it transferred to the game! Love to see unsung guys paving their way! He's got versatility on D playing both NB & S, as well as STs and in the return game. K-#46 Tanner Brown: His % in camp has been roughly 10% better than Smyth's, and it continued last night. The position is now his to lose! Didn't help their case: QB-#2 Spencer Rattler: Has had a great camp by all accounts, but failed to capture the moment when the game lights came on. I can live with a backup being inaccurate at times, checking down, and escaping the pocket too quick but you absolutely cannot compound that by turning the ball over. Ball security has been an issue for him with us from INTs and fumbles. TE-#88 Oscar Delp: He's still a lock to make the roster, but he didn't really take a step forward last night. It's all learning in his first preseason game, so hopefully he works on what he needs to and bounces back next game. CB-#27 Isaac Yiadom: I was worried with him penciled in as CB3 to start camp based off last year, and it seems like every highlight a WR has in camp has been with him in coverage. He's now CB5 with Martin Emerson and Jayden Price at CB3/4 respectively. Practice Squad Candidates: DE-#40 Fadil Diggs: Had a sack and was flying around often. Needs to be more stout against the run though, got washed away a few times. DE-#57 Myles Cole: Popped a few times in pass rush early. Looked to be lined up on the inside a couple times as well so that versatility is a plus. It worked well in passing situations but he got pushed around a bit on the inside in the run game. DE-#59 Garrett Nelson: Had several good plays, hustled whistle to whistle. DE-#63 Michael Heldman: Good motor, saw him trying different moves not relying on just speed rush. Needs to stay more disciplined setting the edge though. DT-#97 Khristian Boyd: He made a few plays last night. Was hoping he could gain some ground but it still looks like he's behind Ridgeway, Miller, & Godchaux LB-#47 Jackson Sirmon: Very active, always around the ball. Had a couple good confident tackles.


I agree with most of this. On offense I was really keyed in on Wright. He impressed for his first game imo, man he’s strong af if he gets his hands on guys. Has to work on his balance a bit but an encouraging showing.

I disagree on Rattler/Wilson. I’m not sure one preseason game is enough to jump spots but I do think it makes it more likely we keep 3 spots.

RB will be hard to know what we are doing with multiple injuries impacting guys..

WR battle is good,.. would be nice if we could trade one of those guys for a kicker or a solid backup OL,

Maybe most encouraging sign is the emergence of Emerson and Price. Feel much better about them being CB 3 and 4 than Yiadom,
He was playing against dudes who will be selling insurance in a month, he will likely be on the practice squad this year

Practice squad

I agree that means will make it over Austin and palmer. I actually like Austin as an end of the roster/ps guy in the case of an emergency. Same will trey palmer. Just put him on the ps.

Man it’s gonna be super hard. Palmer has more experience, Means imo has the most upside but Austin sure does seem to do a good job of getting open when he gets opportunities

My 53 after first preseason game

Posted by Lsujacket66 on 8/15/26 at 7:03 pm
QB (3) Shough Rattler, Wilson
RB (4) Etienne, Kamara, Estime, Miller
WR (6) Olave, Vele, Tyson, Brown, Lance, Means
TE (4) Johnson, Fant, Delp, Matavao
OL (9) Banks, Fuaga, Mccoy, Ruiz, Edwards, Wright, Sherman, Simpkins, Richards,

DE (4) Young, Grando, Wilson, Jennings (Cam starts on pup)
DT (5) Godchaux, Miller, Broughton, Shepherd, Ridgeway
LB (5) Ellis, Werner, Stutsman, Ford, Stalbird
CB (5) Kool Aid, Riley, Emerson, Price, Styles
S (5) Reid, Blackmon, Howden, Sanker, burgess
ST (3) Wood, Wright, Tanner

hardest decisions:
Wilson making the roster
Estime and Miller injury status
last WR is tough between Austin, Palmer and Means
kicker is not strong so likely looking league wide
8th and 9th OL is likely open to the whole league
Wright is looking really good
Christen Miller is a DOG! Man he just stoned the center and shed him to make the tackle easily
