Alontae Taylor is setting up to be one of the biggest battles during New Orleans Saints training camp. What happens to the player who loses that battle has been a big question as well. With Adebo and Marshon Lattimore absent from practice on Tuesday, Taylor moved to the slot when the defense shifted to its nickel personnel. Many thought this might have been Taylor’s future after trading C.J. Gardner Johnson a year ago.
This sets up for you to potentially see Lattimore, Adebo, and Taylor together on the field. Taylor playing on the inside doesn’t necessarily point to Adebo winning the battle for outside corner. Taylor can slide into the slot for three-corner personnel groupings even if he wins the battle to start.
