Saints camp
https://crescentcitysports.com/tulane-n ... he-saints/
Saints head coach Dennis Allen acknowledged that Anderson, at 5-foot-11 and 230 pounds, isn’t “the prototype size we’re looking for or the prototype length that we’re looking for” in linebackers.
“But, Allen added, “there have been guys like that, that have played in this league.”
Though Anderson is relatively undersized as NFL linebackers go, his ability to hit with exceptional force is one of his strengths.
Saints linebackers coach Michael Hodges called Anderson “a compact ball of dynamite.”

He saw very minimal snaps in the first pre-season game yesterday. Hoping he gets noticed in practice more and has more opportunities to make the final cut.

Yes. I watched the entire game and he was hardly in.

Thx. I tried to find him. I don’t think he’s been getting in on many plays.

He hasn't... bummer for sure. I want him to make the roster, but just not sure it's happening right now.

In the Chiefs game, he seemed to play in all kick off, punt and return teams.

Yeah, that's looking like the only way he'll make the final cut. Not sure how much he played on ST yesterday.

Right. That’s not likely. Hopefully the practice squad.

Didn't they used to be Edmonton Eskimos? Did they get cancelled for being offensive to Eskimos by honoring them?

Another example of the Wokes cancelling an indigenous group--helping them to be forgotten. They target teams but hit the tribal groups. Did anybody ask the Eskimoes?

I'm split on the name-changing and canceling issue. I can empathize with the desire to be politically correct, but trying to erase history is wrong.

"The Wokes" in this case must refer to sponsors. There was growing pressure and the team twice decided to stay with the name Eskimos and I guess the third time they said yes. According to some reports the locals wanted the team to be called the Edmonton Energy. Most fans didn't think the name change was necessary, but a few different indigenous groups were offended by the name according to Canadian news articles. I didn't know "Eskimo" was an offensive term. I guess that's 1 point for the wokes, I don't know.

If a team was named the Sicilians and had a muffelettas and cannolis as their symbols, it would be my favorite team.

When the Houston Texans were deciding on their name and uniforms, one of the options being considered was to name them the Texians with uniforms sporting the colors of red, green, yellow and white. If Bob McNair had gone in that direction, I suspect there would have been a Woke firestorm.

Thought for sure we'd offer Mr Anderson a place in the FB Staff after he volunteered to coach preparation for the Military Bowl.

He credited with being the glue that held 2022 tight , loved by his teammates .
President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .
