Bobby Hebert's rant after Saints shut out by 49ers: 'An embarrassing performance' - YouTube

I'm becoming concerned about re-signing Elliss. He's going to become 28 next season so this is his one chance to captalize on getting a lucrative long term contract.

Exactly... it took a while to develop him. Even with that, don't expect a home team discount, not that he would break the bank based on his prior production.

All this talk about "punching the ball out" of the Star Running Back's hands, being a perfectly executed defensive play, and no fault of the Ball Carrier, or the COACHING of the Ball Carrier... Nah. Way back in the day, we had Coach punching the ball so hard, we would puke. That was fundamental stuff. We were COACHED to HOLD THE DAMN BALL.

As for someone getting looked at, I believe several of the kickers they had in during the offseason are still available. They are on speed dial.

Focusing a player is not a binary decision. I said nothing about replacing him.

Then I guess I have completely missed your point. Why exactly do you expect Allen to waste valuable time by bringing in scrub kickers for a tryout which you have already tried out if you have no plan on replacing your kicker?

Yeah, after all a 6 year All-pro with over 1,000 carries has to be told not to fumble 🙄.

Not sure why Pete Carmichael waited so long to start utilizing a "threat" in Shaheed.

Interesting stat line on Rashid in the Niners game :

"Shaheed converted a first down on all three of his touches against the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday. He caught a 35-yard reception on 2nd-and-6, followed by an 18-yard pickup on 3rd-and-3. And he also took a carry off the left end for a 6-yard gain on 2nd-and-5. He’s touched the ball 10 times on offense and either converted a first down or scored a touchdown on 8 of them."

Weber St finest!

Again, get your playmakers more involved Pete.

Deonte Harty is gone in 2023.
