What Saints Fans are Saying

There are 3 people on our team with more td catches than Steve Smith. Despite him leading the team in yards and catches. Yea I don't think Steve Smith is carrying anyone. Plus Cam has had to lead us in rushing the past few weeks.

Yes Luke is good but one could argue TD has been even better this season. To say the only thing we have is Luke shows they don't know football.

Saints at the dome are scary.

I think we kick their teeth in at Carolina. In order to win at NO....WR need a RB to have a a game we really haven't seen this year

they are scary there, but they are also very vulnerable...esp. to the things we typically do well there.

 

i don't think they can stop cam. they had no answer for the run threat that wilson brought and i think cam is better in that regard. i think they don't have anyone thst can stop tolbert. i don't think they've ever had an answer for dwill who pretty much has relied almost exclusively on his stats against the saints for relevance. he may not show up in many games, but the one team he's always shown up for big time is against the saints and i don't see this season being any different. if we have hartsock back, i think our run game looks very dominant against them. our run game will look better than it actually is against the saints.

 

i think their secondary also gets thinned out because of injury to their squad and and cam's ability to spread out the ball. i also think that rob ryan's defense has been exposed..which usually happens in the second half of the season which is why they have lost three of their last seven and should have lost to the 49ers.

 

if charles johnson is back, i think that with the addition of addison and horton we now have the rotation from hell and that front four will dominate their OL and keep heavy pressure on brees all game forcing him to make mistakes like he made last night. if blackburn is back, i think with the rise of klein that our LB corps is better than ever and will control things consistently in th  middle of the field and add that little bit of unpredictable pressure on brees and help shut down their run game. i like the combo of keek, davis, and mitchell to beat up graham and take him out of his game. i think the secondary does what it did against the pats and keep everything in front of them without giving up much at all in the way of big plays and forcing three and outs and capitalizing on forced errors brees makes because of the pressure coming from our pass rush and the limited options the secondary leaves him.

 

i see us starting out slowish again, but within a couple series finding our groove, pulling out ahead, controlling the clock, and forcing the saints to play from behind the second half and taking the crowd out of the equation.

 

i saw an intereting stat last night that the saints have never come back from a 20+ point deficit going into half time. if there is another team who can do that to them, its us. 

 

i felt good about our chances seeing how san fran did there. i feel great about our chances after watching seattle last night.

 

i don't see this as a guarantee by any means, but i think that we could very well leave ther with a win. i feel confident in saying that if either team is going to sweep the other, its going to be us sweeping them cause i sure don't see them coming to charlotte and winning in less than absolute perfect weather and with the crowd being louder than it has been in years. the saints don't deal well with adversity and that's definitely what they have to finish the season.

I will say this...

 

Seattle is a different type of defense than ours. We both are strong but really in different places. They played and matched up perfectly with the Saints. They have big strong DB's that cover like your grandmas neck.

 

I think the offense will be fine but we need to get away from dwill/stewart and our 2nd and 9's.

 

I think we will beat them but it's going to be close....real close.

The Saints are weak mentality and are going to have a short week. Not only that but we are actually as healthy as we are going to get on for this game. We have played harder games this season and faced better teams. If we ever expect to win in Seattle we need to win this game.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • 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.
