Fuller looks like a WR who is fast rather than a fast guy trying to play WR.

He looks more like a football player than I had expected. But he's still not really winning me over, I have to say. Braxton Miller, though, I am really liking that guy.

I like both those young receivers.

With 5 min left first half, Savage in.

I thought Osweiler showed fair progress.

I'm trying to think of a Texans first rounder for whom I had lower expectations and can't. So yeah, pleasantly surprised he looks like more than a one-dimensional speed/deep threat.

Stunned Clowney is still on the field. Looks great, I just cringe every time he moves his knee.

We dodged a bullet on that backward pass, recovery by Saints.

Hunt as done the best on kickoff returns for 4th quarter in preseason.

Weeden in now with 8 or so minutes to go. Weeden, all three QB have strong arms .

The health of the OL is a real concern. Otherwise I think we're in pretty good shape across the board.

Fuller ran a good route on the deep out before the redzone INT. He also showed a willingness to go over the middle and then some after catch ability in the 2 minute drill with Savage. I don't know how good he'll be yet, but he is definitely more than a speed guy. I think he will be a good #2 WR/deep threat/complimentary piece to Hopkins. Whether that is worth a #1 is a good question.

The OL is still a hot mess and, you must remember, this is the Saints defense we are talking about, but you could see Ostrich and his new receivers starting to build a rhythm. Let's cut Cecil Shorts today and offer that money to D-Hop.

I think it will be interesting if Watt has to sit a few games what opposing d-coords will do. They are so used to being obsessed with Watt but there's still Clowney and Mercilus to disrupt out there.

Sad that our rookie center is missing valuable development time.
