OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SAINTS CARDINALS PRESEASON GAME

Any chance the Saints make a bid for David Bakhtiari? I see he is still available and could be ready by beginning of season.

Isn't David a LT? If he is in fact serious about playing with an "MVP" QB as he states in the video, it's not gonna be in New Orleans.

David Bakhtiari is Persian for Michael Thomas.

Since 2020 Michael Thomas has played 22 of 69 possible regular season or playoff games.

Since 2020 David Bakhtiari has played 25 of 72 possible regular season or playoff games. All 3 seasons that the Packers made the playoffs during that stretch he was unavailable to play.

To me, the absolute worst signing a team could make is a player who possibly improves their regular season record but leaves them high and dry for the playoffs, so they get a worse draft pick but have no improvement in their actual competitiveness for a ring, and if anything have a WORSE chance because the backup who will play in January gets less reps.

Of course he now says he is finally healthy and the last 4 years were a fluke. But so does Michael Thomas. Yeah right. Vet minimum or please sign with the Falcons.

Michael Thomas. Talk about a guy that exploded on the scene then just completely disappeared. It’s insane to think about.

Football is a dangerous game. There's a reason why the average career length is only 3.3 years.

I don’t know what you were doing or watching while guys like Larry Csonka, Franco Harris, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Marques Colston, (and I could go on and on) were playing the dangerous game, but Michael Thomas AINT that.

So, aside from some obvious repetitive deficiencies, who stepped up on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams to make you say: I'd like him on my squad?

Robinson jumps out at me as a one of those guys, although Mims looked good too.

Orji was a tackling machine, but Rico looked decent in midrange pass cover.

I like Smyth but Gruppe is a lock at K. Mims and Robinson are deadlocked as KR. (Not that it matters with the new "Dynamic" return rules tho.)
