One should arguably feel worse about Kamara going forward. The team had no notion Sharper was doing that. They know what Kamara has done.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

^^^ Big picture though, that SB winning team was FULL of dawgs & a OPPORTUNISTIC defense. Vilma, Sharper, Porter, Will Smith ...

It's like when the opposing teams QB dropped back to pass, there would be only two options. Incomplete pass or a INT/pick 6.

I'm hoping Joe Woods can bring that intensity (swarming/stripping the ball) back in the secondary. You win the turnover margin, you are going to win a lot of games.

I sure would like to see Cam get into the double digits again this season in sacks. He’s a stud. And a team guy. It would go a long way to get him closer to the HOF at the end of his career.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Do we Rank Cam in our top 5 Saints of all time. Because I’ve got.

1. Drew Brees
2. Pierre Thomas
3. Devery Henderson
4. Tracy Porter
5. Marshon Lattimore


Cam makes my top 10 though.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Thats a tough list to put together. I'd have to put Rickey Jackson on mine

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Kill the head and the body will die! We dominated and won a Super bowl with that attitude before the unfounded bounty gate crap! :brood:

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Whaaaaat? Devery Henderson and not Colston???? I must be getting old. Only 1 player on that list is in my top 5. Lol.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

I’m old enough to include Eric Martin in my top 2 WRs.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Yeah it’s tough. Sorry, I only included players that I actually watched play.
It’s like how people make a top 5 NBA list and most leave off Russell, Wilt or Kareem.
Drew is on my list because he’s Drew.
Pierre didn’t invent the screen game but he’s the best I’ve ever seen run it.
Drew to Devery on the long ball was a thing of beauty.
Porter is my hero for what he did in the NFCCG and the SB.
Shon is on my list simply because he’s Mike Evans daddy.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

No need to be sorry, bro! This is your list of greatest and it’s how you feel. All the players, you list are worthy!

If I define greatest as a combination of my favorite/best, the Saints have had my list would be:
1) Drew
2) Ricky Jackson
3) Colston
4) Reggie Bush
5) Lattimore

Note: Mills and Roaf are not on the list only because they had great success with other teams so that tarnishes it. They are top 10.

I realize Deuce (or Ingram) should replace Reggie…but I loved the excitement he brought to the field. Along with his name recognition, and how he made all the defense focus on him, I honestly don’t think we win a Super Bowl without him on the team.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Henderson and Porter don't even make the list.
Ricky Jackson,
Swilling
Roaf
Morton Anderson
Even Jahri Evans, Mike Mckenzie, Greer and that's off the top of my head.

Henderson was great and a crucial contributor during our hay day but far from one of the best. I'm not even sure id put any of those guys ahead of the ones I've listed except Brees. Lattimore I'll give you, especially if he stays the course but the others were just important pieces. Cam definitely goes in there.

The heart award goes to Jason David.

Derek Carr & Drew Brees similarities are scary..

Thirty two days to kickoff. Four days until Saints preseason starts. :beer:

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Interesting stat here.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

A telling stat in terms of foreshadowing the eventual 2023 NFC South Champion, IMHO !

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

I decided to look at Tampa’s schedule for this season, and I don’t think they have a chance. It’s a rough schedule especially early in the year. For anyone who’s interested it goes as follows:

At Vikings
Hosting bears
Hosting Eagles
At Saints

then they have an early bye week

Detroit
At Atlanta
At the bills
At Texans
Tennessee
At niners
At Colts
Carolina
At Falcons
At Packers
Jaguars
Saints
At Carolina

With that early schedule and bye, they could be 3-8 or 2-9 going into December.

Tampa lost a starting WR..

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Saw that.

Treylon Burks appears to have suffered a leg injury today as well.

Titans - week #1 opponent for the Saints.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Your fav during that draft, if my recollection is accurate. :awe:

Olave is the man! Glad we have him.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

One of my favorites coming out of that draft.

Was super high on Olave too :bng:

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Honestly, I didn't see the Saint going UP to get Olave.

If they would have sat on their hands, Olave would be playing in Detroit.

Credit the Saints front office for going to get their guy.

Bako swooping in . 1 . 2 . 3 ...

It was difficult listening to those young women on the video. Their voices are too high pitched and they sounded like they were drunk men girls.Lol

Him putting us at the number two spot was a bit of a surprise though. Who knows. DC4 may give us credibility again.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Sounds like both Ridley and Robinson looked good for the failcons in their game.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Bijan looks like he'll be a problem for years to come.

Don't know anything about that Oline, but he only needs a small crease to make things happen. Burst and vision.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

No easy outs in our division.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

O-Line is great.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Players like this only come around once in 20 years it seems.

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

Re: Official 2023 OFFSEASON Thread
 

If we can trade one of our kickers and get a draft pick, then maybe we could take that draft pick and bundle it with another low round pick to trade for an OL.
