Never take any opponent lightly when you're "supposed" to win. Especially, in the Dirty South!

Last year when we played Carolina, a QB who threw for 47 yds., 2 INTs, Sacked 2 times, and had a QB Rating of .... wait for it... 2.8... WON!

Hit them hard! Hit them often! And score! Let's get it done

Re: Week 2 - Saints @ Panthers

If you get a chance, check out the film study Rev Windham did on the interior D-line play.

Saunders & Roach were getting it done in those trenches. That interior "push" was getting there. Something that we missed last year.

By the way, Carl Granderson's hand technique is impressive & he's strong.

Saints are getting a lot of praise offensively, however, for me, it's that defensive front and secondary.

You stop the run, you make teams one-dimensional & subsequent turnovers. Saunders (his gap discipline is solid) was a key signing this off-season.

Turner won't be missed much if any. We'll prolly get better with our depth. Hopefully WTFoskey can step up and contribute sooner than later.

I don't know about not missing Turner much. He was looking like he had finally turned the corner and was getting pressure throughout training camp. I think he'll be missed even if Foskey gets all of his snaps.

The human turnstile (Throckmorton) may be starting for Carolina this week with the loss of their starting left guard. We definitely know his weaknesses.

These are two vastly different players. Not an apples to apples. Evidenced by the signing of Phillips to the roster.

Turner hardly played, hence the comment. He may have looked decent during preseason and camp, however if his production wasn't noticed for live bullets, that says something. Time for WTFoskey to step up.

Turner had 6 stops and 3 TFL in his very first NFL game. In his first season his "5.3 pass rush productivity score from Pro Football Focus ranked 10th among the 26 rookie defensive linemen (both interior and edge rushers) to log 100 or more snaps."

He's clearly a player who can make an impact as evidenced by the play he got hurt on.

Injuries obviously derailed him. And then did again. And now, unfortunately another freak injury will sideline him until December (estimating).

My take is that he'll come back in December. Make some splash plays in the playoffs but we ultimately won't pick up the 5th year option and we'll hopefully have a great player on a friendly contract who can be a great value in 2024.

Foskey needs to prove he deserves to be on the field.
