K Major

0-4 Trevor?

Cmon buddy, he’s not helping this team healthy or not.

Hope that we get a guy or two back on the O line and insert Taysom if he’s healthy enough to play on Sunday.

Boston Saint

This is true major, but they make a couple kicks or get a couple
calls or the D plays nearly as well as it did against Tampa or last night then they beat the titans and the atlanta chickens and Trevor is 2-2.

The Dude

I’m not 100% sure we shouldn’t role with Book the rest of the way and put Semion as #2 and Taysom in his regular role. Taysom would take some pressure off Book. Our offensive line will be healthier next week too. We really don’t have much to lose and Book didn’t seem panicked at all in spit of having to run for his life all night. His parents on the other hand looked horrified.
You know you are in bad shape when you have a Qb who can’t get his parents seats better than nose bleeds.

Boston Saint

That’s funny stuff!

Our (N)O-Line would make Joe Montana look like Joe Mantegna.

You have to play the hand you are dealt! All Saints Fans all knew when Brees left things weren't going to be the same. There is a reason talent like his is called "Generational" and that doesn't mean they are the #1 selection in the Draft. Ask the J - E -T - S, JETS, JETS, JETS and THE LIONS.

Thoughts from the game:

- Seems like the Dolphins out-coached us on both sides of the ball. Dolphins seem to be a organized team without many big names but they play hard. I am envious of the pistol playbook they use - I hope in coming years we add that to our arsenal because I think our running game and Jameis/Hill/Book would fare better if we had more pistol and less shotgun.

- Gotta wear the gold pants more. As of late they have the mojo. And they look so much damn better.

- Related to the above, more concerns with the playcalling. I thought we used too much shotgun and would have been better served having Ian under center and keeping the defense guessing if they were defending a run or a rollout pass. I also don't think we ran off tackle or to the outside enough to get the most out of Kamara.

- That was the worst OL play I remember seeing in the CSP era. It looked like David Carr Texans era blocking . I know they are a MASH unit, but even for that it looked pretty bad. Need Ramcyzk back in particular ASAP.

- There seems to be a pattern where we expend a ton of effort beating Tampa and then we look drained the next week. The defense played fairly well, but the tackling was spotty.

- This guy in the midwest wearing an Ian Book jersey had a good night of cuddling and talking with his wife later last night. So all in all things weren't so bad for me.

My 24yr old nephew's experience as a Saints' fan is far different from mine. He's only known the Brees/Payton era of winning. Some of us old goats were hopeful & optimistic but deep down we knew this magic carpet ride was over when Brees hung up his cleats.
And like you, I'm also very disappointed about last night's performance. But I also realize the NFL should've never allowed this game to be played while we had 20+ players & 4 coaches out with Covid protocols. No team in this league could've won last night if they were missing the same key players.

The front office needs to decide this off-season what direction we’re going to go in. We need to be all in or blow it up. Coming into this season it felt like we were stuck in between and the result is a predictable 500 team. We restructured some contracts to keep some starters but that left us with one of the thinnest rosters in the league and a question mark at the most important position. We also missed in the draft this year which further added to the lack of depth. Unfortunately this year with COVID wreaking havoc, our lack of depth was magnified and wound up costing us the season.

This offseason I say we go after Russell Wilson or clean house. If we go after Russ we have the defense and we can restructure some contracts. With Russ and this defense, MT will come back and we should be able to bring in some quality vets at a decent price similar to what Tampa did once they signed Brady.

Or, we start cleaning house and getting out of some of these contracts. Get under the cap and rebuild this team.

What we can’t do is tread water to be a pretty good team and as long as we don’t have a top tier QB we’re going to stuck in the middle of the pack. It’s going to be a big offseason for this front office and I’m curious to see how it all plays out.

Terron Armstead is going to leave in free agency… Which sucks because we’ve restructured his contract so many times that he’ll leave $13 million in dead cap. We’ll move Ramczyk to LT and James Hurst will likely be the favorite to play RT.

Peat and Ruiz aren’t going anywhere. They’ll be starting next season.

If we re-sign Jameis we can focus on getting some top-tier pass catchers to get the offense humming again.
