I am saying we finished worse in O production than D. Carr may help (although his stats were not much better than Dalton’s). The RB we signed, Williams, may help. But we need offensive weapons. I guess people don’t realize our D outperformed our O last year.

It’s gonna be hard to find 1 game where Trequan was even our 3rd best receiver last season.

The first Carolina game after Thomas was lost to his injury. He had four catches in five targets for 105. Olave went 9 of 13 for 147. That was pretty much it.

But no one knows this stat without research.
We don’t have to look up whether or not Olave, Shaheed, MT3, AK, JJohnson or Taysom had good games last season, we just know it.

I’ll give TreQuan this, I was rolling with him towards the end of the ‘21 season. He played some monster games that got overlooked. Then he’s just been ‘ew ever since.

Good luck in Pittsburgh.

I really wanted him to be a Saint.

Not really hard. October 16th against Bengals. Thomas, Olave, and Landry all out. Trequan was clearly the most experienced receiver we had on the field. He lead the team in TD receptions and Yards over J Johnson, Kirkwood and Callaway. Johnson and 1 more reception than him.

It probably meant a lot to grandpa. My wife is with her soon to be 96 year old mother in basically the same position right now and smiles have been what she's wanted from those that have visited her.

I’m with you on everything here. The only issue is the posting of it. Should be posted on the friends wall not the internet.
Not holding it against him. Probably didn’t know it was going on the web. Well, unless he posted it himself.

His friend wanted to share it and posted it. I see absolutely no issue with it. It's a really great gesture and no doubt meant a lot to his very good friend and his grandpa.

His 10 (1.6)) & 20-yard splits were rated as ELITE according to his RAS scores.

Good luck @ camp.

I have to say I disagree with you about it being bad optics. What it shows me is that during what is probably on of the happiest days of his life he is still taking the time to go visit a good friend who is having a lot worse day. Said friend posts about it and I see no issue with that.

It's a good story. I just wouldn't post a picture with a dying man that likely isn't aware of his surroundings because he's on life support.

I would have had an issue if it was Foskey who posted it himself. Now it was Rask so i'm okay with it. I wouldn't have posted it myself if it was my grandfather but that is Rask's decision.

Boy, Foskey sure is fired up to be drafted as a Saint.

He's got more gumption in his little finger than Davenport had in his whole body!

Did it leave when Davenport cut off his pinky, I wonder?

Replicated from Smashmouth's post on the 2023 Saints Draft Thread post 196. I dig it. It seems to be Allen's M.O. on the defensive line.

If it gave the old man and/or his son some solace when they needed it then more power to Foskey! Support for friends at times of need when they are grieving shows empathy and support when times are tough. This type of loyalty and compassion speak volumes about the character traits the Saints value so highly and why they drafted him.

Personally, I would rather see that picture with him being supportive of a friend in need over one of him sitting in a bar with his drinking buddies.

Really good article going into depth about Foskey's visit to his friend's grandfather's bedside. It turns out grandpa knew Foskey really well and was watching the draft in the hospital room with other members of the family hoping to see Foskey get drafted.

Fabricated controversy … he went to show support for a close friend at very difficult time … the friend took a picture of his newly drafted friend and posted on FB. Nobody business but theirs … Just saying.

Someone always wants to turn a positive thing into a negative one. It makes them feel better about themselves I guess. He was close to his friends grandfather and wanted to see each other again. Make of it what you will. I take away from it that other people are more important to Foskey than personal accolades.

Contract talks around the NFL could spur Saints, Isaiah Foskey to action

Hard to believe that he's still not inked to a contract.

Nothing but formalities. Each of these rookie contracts are tied to what the player drafted before them get as far as guarantees. The salaries themselves are slotted. It's all his agent doing his job to get as much as possible.

It’s sad that this is true even though multiple 1st rounders were spent on Turner and Davenport.

The Saints are due. I believe BOTH the 1st and 2nd rd picks will have a huge impact this season and beyond.

Foskey could become the truth in a year or two.

Side note, I hope Turner puts it all together and stay away from the medical tent.

If ( big IF I know) Turner and Penning are healthy and show up it would be like adding an additional first round pick to both the O and D lines. Keeping fingers crossed. Injury breaks have to go our way sometimes, right?
