OBSERVATIONS FROM SAINTS (PRIMETIME WITH PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS) LOSS TO THE RAMS

papz · 12-22-2023, 07:33 AM

We've committed over 45 million dollars to the quarterback position this season.

We signed Williams who we don't use.

We drafted Miller who has been a waste of a draft pick.

This game was a lot uglier than the final score.

The problems have always started at the top. I think it’s pretty much a given both Allen and Carmichael are living on borrowed time. But can we really trust the front office to make the right hires? 2009 was a long time ago. The time for a fresh start all the way around has been overdue for quite a few years now.

I knew it would be bad when the Rams went on a 95 yard td drive 😳.

PC is clueless! DA is the walking dead! Oh no! We suck! somebody please send the game film to Loomis to look at. He obviously doesn't watch the games.

But hey, Mrs. B gave him a game ball... so he's got that going for him... which is nice.

Stocking stuffer since there is room without the ring.

Rez -

I noticed that Dennis benched Alontae Taylor last night. Sean McVay/Highland Park was picking on him quite a bit but was he performing that poorly?

My concern is that once you lose confidence as a young DB, it's over.

Your thoughts?

Benches Taylor for getting beat in coverage.

Doesn't bench Carr in prior game when he only had 37 yards passing in 3 quarters.

Allen logic/hypocrisy at its finest and that's the bigger problem, not actually the benching itself.

I had concerns about Taylor in the slot from the moment I started hearing he was working there. Slot corner is a completely different world. I wouldn’t say he’s done though. A benching can make you or break you depending on your personality. We won’t know that until next year though. There’s nothing he can do at this very moment to get where he needs to be as a player.

I do like what I see out of Jordan Howden.

He always seems to battle and contest passes, and he's played in the slot at times.

Maybe that's the way forward. Alontae has struggled for a while, it was just very noticeable Vs the Rams.

He is quite frankly awful at tackling. PJ Williams wasn't great, but he was a good tackling corner.
