Re: 5-11 to 7-9

Let's see.
1. Earn a 6 figure salary by putting on a coat and tie one day a week and comment on what all the other teams are doing wrong.
2. Wear casual clothes on the sideline, work 7 days a week under constant pressure to produce. Listen to the "Experts" on the local team board tell me what I'm doing wrong day after day after day..........?

Tough choice! LOL

Technically the season has not started. We can hope for a little luck and someone gets dropped from another team that could improve our O line.

There is still a glimmer of hope to hang onto. The reality just got a little more depressing after watching the team last night.

Ivory read Armstead
Strief are you f**** serious
Harper during Colston era, anyway I was corrected by Armstead
Stinchcomb was before Colston
Bushrod read Harper
Anthony how are they developing him after they switch him
Morested came out booming kicks
J Graham that was a Drew Bree's development since DB been in the league he utilize tight end
Kikaha shuffle board haven't been in league yet to be determined
So by your own admission there are at least four rookies who have been developed since Colston. Basically you just called yourself an idiot.

I recall Hebert saying the other day that the Vikings are O LINE heavy (specifically guard). Alex Boone signed a new deal this off season. They can't keep em all. Saints would be crazy not to keep on eye on their upcoming cuts.

It's not that at all I would hope I was wrong but my eyes see a bad football team. I'm not gonna let the black and gold spectacles blindme for seeing the reality of the situation. If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck it's a damn duck to me I don't apologize for calling like I see it

Re: 5-11 to 7-9

Nothing happened last night that really changed my outlook. I've said all along that we can score 25 a game, but with this offensive line, they won't have many games where they explode for much more than that. The first team offense was good and bad last night, and they are not running their entire offense in a preseason game. So I'm not looking at the points (or lack thereof) in these games. I'm just looking at how those guys up front are doing, who's catching the ball, who isn't. What I've seen tells me this is pretty much the same offense from last year. It's got some new and interesting skill players, but they will all be limited by the amount of time and space our QB and RB's get.

Defensively, they're going to be better than they were last year. They haven't shown a pass rush, but that usually is the case in preseason. They will have a lot to prove there. In coverage, there were two big plays that should have been broken up. On the TD to Antonio Brown, Harris had perfect position, but for some reason never looked for the ball. The same thing happened on a long pass down the sideline against P.J Williams. This has been a pattern for years. Our corners DO NOT look for the ball. I have no idea why... It's like they're being instructed not to look. If you can't find the ball, it doesn't matter where you are, the ball will get caught right over your head.

Those things are correctable, but they HAVE to correct it. It was the big plays that killed them in the first half. Pittsburgh couldn't run it, and when they threw short, for the most part, the Saints tackled well.

So it's really just a matter of putting pressure on the QB and getting our DB's to find the ball. We won't know until the season starts how that will all turn out, and we all knew going into camp that the whole season would hinge on both lines doing a better job.

So last night just reminded me of those things. This team has plenty of talent, but there are a lot of moving parts on that defense right now, and I'm just not sure this is their year, but do believe that they will be more competitive overall. I'm hopeful but very unsure of where this team will finish.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: 5-11 to 7-9

I think they are killing Stephon Anthony by moving him to the strong side. Is he even playing with the ones? I thought he did well last year but apparently not. Has he even made a play so far this year? If he don't have success, we may be looking at 2 wasted 1st rd picks.

Truthfully, I hated the pick at first( I wanted Perryman and McKenny) but after watching Anthony he grew on me and being under the assumption we were switching to a 3-4 he could become a stud in that scheme. In the 4-3 at MLB he's to slow to cover if called on intermediate or deep( just to much ground to cover). He wasn't drafter to become a 4-3 MLB and hiring Allen a 4-3 guy didn't help him one bit, now with moving him to the OLB spot we'll have to wait and watch to see if it's the round hole square peg affect. I will say this if they let him go and a 3-4 run D picks him up they get themselves a stud ILB. People can argue 3-4, 4-3 all day but in my opionion a 3-4 run right beats the he!! out of a 4-3 any day of the week.
