Somewhere, in Ballantyne probably, Greg Hardy's chops are soaked with saliva.

 

He also knows that this game will determine if he gets paid or not.  This is a huge game for us and the organization, if he takes over, he's gonna get good money whether its from us or not, but he can't develop a reputation as a guy that disappears against inferior competition in big games (Terron Armstead and whatever rookie was making his first start vs the panthers for Arizona).

 

With that said, Kraken is going to straight up murder, I think the over/under is 5 sacks in the game for the panthers.  Big Money is starting to really get back to full strength since getting injured against the Pats.

Armstead was drafted to be the replacement starter at LT but they wanted to give him time to develop and build up his lower body strength. The nfl analysts graded him as an immediate and he had an amazing combine. He played some special team snaps recently so looks like he was getting him ready to play soon anyway. He has even been on injury report the past few weeks with some sort of nose injury meaning he must have been getting 1st team reps.

Bottom line the guy was raw with amazing potential at preseason, so it's was just a matter of time to refine him. Also, Brown is still available to play and against Panthers 2 weeks ago, he had the second highest pass block grade behind Strief, so Payton knows he has a guy that should have no issues with Panthers rush since Brown was solid and allowed zero pressures, zero hurries, and zero sacks 10 days ago and that was with him not getting any help. I'm sure if Armstead struggles, Brown will be extra motivated to try to get his position back and play a good game. We will see as I'm still not sure if Saints can win this game the way they have been playing on road.

 

Needs to be more careful when picking his nose

I'm with Rayzor.

 

The guy may be bad, good, or somewhere in between. Payton is doing this primarily to send a message that he's pissed at the way the team has been playing and to suggest that no one is safe.

 

For all we know, he may only play one series. Doesn't matter. But to suggest that this guy is some hidden superstar held up Payton's sleeve to suddenly spring on the rest of the league is wishful thinking on the part of Saints fans.

 

 

Yea this could be some kind of smoke and mirrors.We need to focus on what we can control.

What's fun about this is that Sean Payton is one of those guys that always believes he's the smartest person in the room. His ego tells him he could coach a roster full of high school players to the Super Bowl.  That's why he feels like he can make a decision that pretty much everyone else would question, because he knows that in the end, he'll be proven to be a genius.

 

Except maybe not :)
