watch Deion bench his son for this game for the eye poke. That's the real built-in excuse. And there is precedent for the eye poke discipline.

tight early. Saints run away with it late. Game closer than score will suggest. 31-13

experienced vets doesn't = it suits a quick small ball attack. I think that will be a big problem overall on the year with the Bryce rookie plan. Thielen and TMJ don't fit it. Our RBs don't fit it. Then factor in Frank has the call sheet.

lmao. Nevermind boss. It's early and my brain is broken. I don't know why I had Luvu at Baylor. He wasn't. Pretend I never was here.

So Fitt was responsible and gets credit for bringing in Baylor/Temple guys in his first year? That’s not on Rhule? I mean, yeah Anderson came In under Hurney. Fitt gave him the stupid contract and is presently one of our biggest cap hits. So I got a tad confused. overall point still pretty much remains. Fitt getting a Luvu carve out with some just because he worked out and still putting the rest on Rhule.

I mean, I acknowledged you can’t really grade his draft picks. so all you have is his free agents and trades. Which is all I am doing here. To date, he just doesn’t have much positive when it’s compared to the negative on that front. *Then that gets weird. Because you have folks that say Robbie Anderson was 100% Matt Rhule and then want to credit Luvu to Fitt.

Meh, Tepper was in on every interview. I don’t care what PR junk they put out there. Tepper is getting what he wants in Carolina. Buck starts and stops there IMO. Everything big is at Tepper’s feet IMO. Just like with our QB. Rumor mill was that the staff wanted Stroud. Tepper wanted Young. We got Young.

Nah. I don’t include Foreman. Just like I don’t Gilmore. Or Reddick. They were one year rentals and not part of building us in a direction. I was largely just looking to insult the man with the PJ reference lol.

Ok, so in his third year….his 2nd and 3rd best adds are average starting lineman. His best add is LB. I mean, that sort of sums up the Panthers in an offensive league.

I mean, Bryce Young’s skill set is small ball. He just doesn’t have the skill talent to play that game. nothing wrong with small ball if it is highly efficient. But you need the skill players. Brady did it in New England late in his career. But he had the talent that suited it. Awesome TE, elite slot players, pass catching RBs.

NFL teams operate like mom and pop shops. Tepper hires the people that officially make the decisions and is in on all the big decisions. so when we trade CMC, mortgage everything for a rookie QB, RH implodes, hire new coaches ….those are decisions Tepper is in on.

Carolina clearly got the worst out of Baker. At least statistically. He was better with the Rams too. Think Sam was statistically his worst here too Cam his worst in round 2. Bryce currently playing the worst of first rounders It’s the Tepper curse.

Frank and Wilks are basically the same thing. One an offensive variant. One a defensive variant. and that’s what you get when you have egg on your face for going after something different in college. An overcorrection back to NFL retreadville. And then you surround Frank with dinosaurs like Dom and Caldwell lol. Best thing about the staff was the coordinators and Frank won’t let the OC be the OC.

it’s only PI if it gets called

imagine: Saints Bucs Falcons and Ron Rivera. All 2-0.

You do. And our record was a product of our schedule and how that matched up playing in a Time Machine. So it doesn’t really mean much presently. We weren’t playing good football last year. We could barely compete a forward pass to finish the year.

Panthers beat teams with horrific run defenses. Because Wilks played 1960s football. if he saw a good team, it was over in the first quarter we were a bad team last year. No matter the coach. Wilks is just a decent coach and did the only thing possible to look respectable on Sunday.

Ok. I forgot about him. Blind squirrel.

Fitts best FA add to date was PJ Walker. Let that sink in.

Clemson is ranked #23. Everyone knows the coaches poll is the only irrelevant pre CFP ranking poll that matters.

Nothing really. Because his draft picks are too young to judge. Incomplete grade there. so really all you can do is judge his free agents and contracts. And he hasn’t been good there.

They didn’t switch offenses. They switched what pages of the playbook and calls were going to be made. It was Wilks telling the same OC to run the ball. They didn’t learn a new offense mid season

I mean, the Saints and Bucs aren’t rebuilding. They inserted vet QBs into what they deem as solid rosters. It’s basically where Rhule had us. We could have done that. It would have been keeping CMC. Keeping Moore. And bringing in someone like a Mitch Trubisky or some other castoff.

Because you literally can’t trade every human of value. We did trade away a LOT to kick off the rebuild. The one that features all new coaches, schemes, and a #1 overall pick we hope to build around

I’ll care about wins after the bye week. This is about developing a QB and figuring out what we should do around him. Saints should win this one fairly easy pending we don’t get some big D plays or the Saints shoot themselves in the foot.
