I would be surprised if they would go after Joe. Guess that GGrayson "hot seat" theory is out of the window ... for now.

Not so sure about that. Grayson isn't costing them much on the practice squad. I would think that his days are numbered. Time to look for another backup for the next few years behind Brees.

Can see the Saints picking up a current NFL starter & doing a reclamation project like they've done with Brees...

More injuries...

jeanpierre · 10-23-2016, 06:25 PM

And Kelemete had been playing very well (when healthy) as well...

A possible return against Seattle?? We'll definitely need all hands on deck.

To stop their passing game successfully defend deep passing plays and contain Russell Wilson in the pocket...

FIVE NFL TRADES WE’D LIKE TO SEE

https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro...d-like-to-see/

4. Saints LB Stephone Anthony to the San Francisco 49ers
As we just covered, the 49ers are in the selling market more than they are the buying one, but they could potentially add a big piece to their rebuilding project with a former first-round pick from a year ago. Stephone Anthony was one of the highest-graded linebackers in the nation during his final year at Clemson, with a grade of 87.1. He was instinctive, athletic, and productive. Then he went to New Orleans…

Anthony’s rookie year with the Saints was a disaster, and he ended with an overall grade of 43.3 before finding his role virtually eliminated this season. He has played just 55 snaps, almost all on the edge rather than in the middle at linebacker, and looks like a player the team has pretty much given up on already. That Saints’ defense has killed the career of many players over the past few years, and Anthony could be a perfect example of a defender that discovers his true potential at his second NFL destination.

The 49ers could take a gamble on a guy like Anthony and find themselves with a first-round linebacker joining the defense to aid in their rebuilding project.

This is poor coaching and the guilty got to go; a strong GM calls the HC in and says you fire the DC and/or LB coach or I will...

Can not accept spending a first round pick on a player and just "giving up" - especially after one freaking season...

This is the BS, self-defeating, repetitive dysfunction that really frustrates me with the Saints...
