Shenault

As I was breathing a sigh of relief, that we had actually won a game that our offense didn’t show up to! I asked myself, where was Shenault the first 3 quarters? This staff is still full of question marks. It’s like he had a good kick return and they realized, hey, maybe we could try this guy at receiver since we’ve sucked all day!

He’s a gadget player and they called play for him which prob caught the saints off guard. I doubt he a gonna be a world beater on a weekly basis.  

It was actually a good call by the staff for once.  No need to reverse engineer this to discredit them.  They make enough mistakes on their own.

He probably didn’t have many plays that they repped with him. I believe I saw he was in for about 5 plays. Impact on two of them. One of them was specifically drWn up for him, and his TD play he was the check down receiver. 
 

it isn’t like madden, where you sub him in and he is on every play. He joined the team a month ago.

Thank you, seem like people don't understand that.

That’s basically what Rhule said in the PC, even on the TD, he wasn’t Baker’s first read per Rhule.

Actually according to Rhule's Presser, we had a play designed for him earlier in the game and they took him away, and then the play he scored on wasn't even designed for him, or at least he wasn't the primary...  they took away the primary so Baker checked it down to Laviska, and he did all the heavy lifting from there.

But as I said in the game thread, the plays he made today came off simple routes and duties that he could've done week 1 with little to no familiarity with our "system" (KRs, flat and drag routes).  So I just don't know why he wasn't playing earlier.  He is dynamic.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
