NFC South Preview

No new information, just a NFC South "sighting" I thought I would post here from nfl.com

some jake bashing and peppers speculating but the new face of NFC South defenses is an interesting topic. I hadn't known that the saints new D coordinator came from the jags. They have had a respectable defense for quite a while. This year def. looks wide open for the nfcs (aside from the bucs i have to say).

I wouldn't even rule the Bucs out given what Atlanta did last year (thought that's not to say I expect them to). It will be another year of some good interdivisional competition, methinks.

I don't think Williams was allowed to unfurl his scheme as much in Jax IIRC. He is a very good defensive mind though IMO. Had read sundry things about him when he was in Wash, that he was very autocratic, had a sizeable ego etc. so will be interesting to see how he meshes with Payton, who may have to manage him along with everything else.

One thing I hate about talking heads is that for the most part, they are hypocrites. They completely bash Jake's last performance and use it to say he doesn't deserve to be there, yet there is nary a word about Eli or Chad's bad last playoff game (They both were one and done as well) as RUINING THEIR TEAM THEY ARE DOOMED...OMGZ. Neither of those two came of unprecedented surgery either. Why can't they just say of all three of them, they had suckass playoff games but it doesn't mean ish for what they will do NEXT YEAR? But no.

They do the same thing on a smaller scale with Tarvaris Jackson. Sure he struggled vs Philly but he wasn't THAT bad for a first time playoff starter. Plus he was doing some good things down the stretch for Minny. So the talking heads think some 39 YO egomaniac like Favre is better? Good grief, based on WHAT?

I agree. I'm of the opinion that Tarvaris Jackson can still develop into a good quarterback. He will be servicable at the least, considering the ground game and defense Minnesota has. And they've also got Sage Rosenfels, who they have apparently coveted for a while.

I didnt know that carolina was knocked out in the Wild card round last year....I thought it was the divisional round......It was one game .....does that define a decision on Jake, no but it should always be in the back of the mind.....Talking heads.....TRy to talk like they know what they are saying but arent really saying anything

I think Minny's biggest problem BY FAR is their HC not their QB situation, but what do I know? lol I would likely list WR on the offensive side before I said QB also.

those people who talk about the panthers not having back to back winning seasons meaning they won't this year, i just wonder if they realize that the falcons have not had back to back winning seasons ever...in 43 years! i wonder where they think the falcons are going to end up. if any team is a slave to their past it's them. even at that i think they can break even next year. panthers are much more likely able to do it, though.

Fireball, you are the best poster on this board. You always have something relevant and with obvious forethought to bring to the topic at hand. Please post more. I think my nose is brown enough now...

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
