Let Kubiak bring in someone he trusts, because surely a bunch of first rounders we've got on the O line can't be as bad as they have played.

If better coaching improves them, then we can spend the picks we have on getting younger and faster on defense.

I don't think Alontae is the answer at slot corner.

We need better pass rush. I love Cam Jordan, but he was pretty useless last season. Shift him inside, draft a DE and get a younger / better safety.

Dougie M should have been gone before Pete C

.

And I never understood putting Taylor in the slot.

He’s a boundary guy & they wonder why he struggled all season. Remember it took 4 seasons before they put Zach B in a position to succeed.

And yeah, our best players are OLD. It’s time to get younger.

Saints have work to do. A lot.

Side note on Taylor … he played poorly at slot, gets beat and you bench him.

Then put him back to his natural spot (boundary) and he gets picks.

Can’t be mad at the player. Be mad at the coaching.

Not that it matters at this point because I believe the Saints got a rising star at OC, but I’m curious to see if they believed he was the guy all along or did they have there eyes set on another prize and couldn’t make it happen and settled for Kubiak. Thoughts!!

With the offensive mind of Kubiak, it will interesting to see the approach.

Do they fill "needs" in Free Agency?

For me, it's the draft. You gotta start hitting on these picks though. IMO you need another 2017 draft to become relevant down the road & compete with the big boys in late January.

Ramz, Kamara, Marcus Williams, Anzalone, Hendrickson type players ...

My guess is they had a list of acceptable OC's they liked and interviewed most of them (due diligence). I assume Kubiak was on the original list. They may not have had them ranked in any particular order, but they'll never tell.

I can't remember were I saw them, but I read a couple of different sources say that the Saints had Kubiak on the radar from the beginning. Like you said, Danno, due diligence would require interviewing every possible candidate along the way.

I like this move. They (SF) know how to get the ball to a reciving rb. Sometthstvwas lacking in our offense

keithday123 · 02-04-2024, 10:28 AM

I love the move. His dad I always that was a great OC, never a big fan of him as a HC. I just hope the Saint can find an OL coach or Kubiak has the scheme to utilize penning and other young lineman. Imagine if these guys can become just average to above average and not force us to go big in free agency at that position. Seems like the only way to get through this salary cap hell is to start hitting on these younger guys. Go big on the Dline and that’s it.
