You can't watch a game and tell the good from the bad? There's 4 quarters worth of film that says this team is obviously not ready YET there was good, some bad, some ugly.....good=Latvius Murray, Teddy Bridgewater, McCoy, bad= pass rush, ugly= Patrick Robinson, Eli Apple, Gray, Ola,

I can tell that 75% of the players that played 90% of the game won't even be on the opening roster. Trying to surmise anything about the team is foolish at this point. Offensive and defensive squads are only as good as their weakest link and around a third of the current 90 man roster are weak links that are playing the majority of the snaps.

That is true but look what the Rams did with their backups. That means depth if they keep that up. We can't build good depth with that level of whiffing. A handful of injuries and we're screwed. It's just PS but it's fundamental stuff.

All true but the 2 players that were being discussed will be on the team without question and they played well.

Latavius is a great addition I don't get all the nay sayers. Different style from Ingram but to me a better skill set fit for the offense ... opinion.

Bridgewater looked comfortable and made some good throws. Held the ball too long on several occasions and did not seem inclined to leave the pocket. Probably mission statement at this point. He's not Brees but again who is ... caution opinion ... I think there is only 1 maybe 2 QB's that have level understanding and command of their offense and the game to execute at Brees level. We have been very lucky as fans to have Brees and Peyton together.

I am listening to u gumbo but some of the players that will be here as solid#2s did diddly squat. Bad tackling getting dominated by #2s & 3s but we are slow starters that’s a fact I’ll give y’all that. The guy who says preseason is not a competitive game is on crack no I apologize for that statement . He has never played in a football game. U go in any football game half asre u will be cut/ injured.
