Attention free agent K's and LT's
 
We have openings on a Super Bowl contender

#5 is two years overdue.

I don't care to ever see him on the field again. Isn't there someone we can call who can swing his leg straight? Jeez. This is getting so old.

2 short blocked kicks in an NFL game is beyond failure. Losing happens but this is unacceptable when teams are kicking 64 yarders.

Why isn't anyone calling out the line that couldn't keep the lambs from blocking?

I think Hartley should have gone in 2011. Kasay came in and was a BOSS. Have said as much many times.

That said, he did get one cleanly blocked today. Is that because he's kicking too low, the line was weak, or the Rams were so high on cocaine today they just jumped for like 100 feet in the air? Unknown. Regardless, man I wish we never got rid of Kasay.

Don't know if we can stop them from jumping. That said, was the kick too low?

Charles Brown should probably see a therapist for his Ovinaphobia.

Looked like the blockers were in the air, (I could be wrong) with their arms up

Actually the first block was from around the side, whoever was blocking on the right side of the line was at fault for that one

Thanks, because I actually closed my eyes for most of the game. I'm not kidding. I made Gumbo today and when things went bad it wasn't worth watching and I listened in the kitchen and nibbled on Gumbo most of the afternoon with friends and family.

I wouldn't mind replacing everybody on the line except Jahri Evans. Brown is a career back up in my eyes. I wanted Strief gone for a long time. Grubbs gets done in every now and then. And DLP doesn't really allow Brees to step up like Goodwin used to. But we need to get two new tackles for sure.

Evans and Grubbs keepers for me, it seems like those two are always having to help out DLP or the tackles...

This year Strief has been our best OL, followed by Grubbs, then Evans

You guys need to go back and look at the second kick. It was NOT blocked. That ball was shanked. The defender NEVER touched it.

Anybody think Terron Armstead is ready to start? Him and Strief would be an excellent tackle duo imo.

Re: Attention free agent K's and LT's
 
He's an upgrade over Brown, hope Brown rides the bench for the rest of the season.

The big knock on Armstead coming out of college was that he needed to bulk up and put on some pounds before being ready to compete at an NFL level. I'd imagine 7/8 months with our training staff is enough time to add some muscle?

the kick was pretty much a line drive. He could have put it up more and the tip never would have happened.

Whether in frustration or statement of position, you're statement is right on...

And it doesn't stop with the players...

Kromer loss is obviously HUGE!!! We may have to replace the Oline Coach, and...

I think whoever convinced this team they could stand pat with Brown and Strief at the bookends should undergo concussion evaluation...

By cutting over 15 million from the roster.

I looked at it. Looked like the defender got a hand on it to me.

Actually you can, its really simple, you block the straight on, almost like a runblock, that way you can push anybody that jumps to the ground.

Re: Attention free agent K's and LT's
 
both blocks were right up the middle

Heartly did not get the ball up. neither DL broke through. they just jumped.

line drive field goals under 40 yards? no excuse. blame rest on the kicker.

hagan714 12-16-2013 05:00 AM

Re: Attention free agent K's and LT's
 
back on topic

2014 FA at tackle are
Charles Brown
Bryce Harris
Zach Strief
Jon Stinchcomb

add in
Jimmy Graham
Jed Collins
Brian De La Puente
Malcolm Jenkins
Parys Haralson
Jonathan Vilma
and about a half dozen more

we are still over the cap even with this list of FA we need to sign and/or replace. Hell of a lot of holes to fill. No extra draft choices either.

this is why some of people were screaming in the off season to address this issue on the OL among others. as drew goes so do the saints. that sets your priorities right there. road games prove your an elite team or not.

SP and Mickey are the reason the OL has degraded since the super bowl year, They played to many games and trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat trick over he years has brought us to this.

We are a good team no question about it.
an elite team at home.
on the road proves we are not THE team in 2013

So signing free agents seems like a pipe dream. But something has to be done. Seeing our third round pick actually play a game would give us a better idea were we stand. right now i have him on the bust list and not to be counted on in 2014.

You thought last years off season was fun. then your going to love 2014

Que up you recording of HEY MICKEY
