Duncan is on point with the biggest area a jimmy loss will hurt our squad and it has shown already.

Brees is more overrated than Davis today. I don't have an opinion on Fountain.

one is considered a top 5 or 6 qb in the league that is coming off an injury plagued season with a shitty interior OL. The other is considered a top 2 or 3 player in league and hasn't even won a playoff series yet.

I actually like the Peyton Manning no huddle approach in the red zone. Keep them spread out and don't let them get a GL package in.
I think we've struggled in the past trying to be too tough inside the 5

I don't think losing Graham will be as big of a problem as people make it out to be. Before Graham, Colston was our red zone guy. I think Brees and Colston will get their Mojo back at some point, however with the emergence of Cooks, I feel that Brees will try to force shite to Cooks. He did that with Colston, Graham, and likely Cooks!

Looks like Fauria in Detroit is on his way out. He's a good red zone guy. I remember somebody bringing him up a few weeks ago as someone to look out for. Maybe we give him a look.

Not trying to rain on your AD hate but I believe many this offseason outside of NO had put AD as early MVP candidate with the likes of LBJ and Curry.

Yeah hes lighting it up in seattle right now ...Stupid article.

I heard Detillier say last week the Saints are still looking around for another TE option and wouldn't be surprised to see them even trade for someone.

I wish we would just do this in generally sporadically throughout the game. There are too many times it just seems like the offense is just walking around and going through the motions, we give the defense too much time to adjust.

The bes TEs are usually teamed up with the best QBs. Brees accuracy really allowed Graham's athleticism to shine. Wilson is good but he isn't Brees. Graham will most certainly come back to earth with Seattle.

Where was Jimmy last year in the red zone?
This article is pointless. Our 1's played one series.
Has the season started yet? I'm ready.

Do you worry about not really having a "go-to" guy in the red zone? I do.
I don't. Part of our struggles in prior years was having a "go-to guy". It would seem that Brees would try to force the ball into coverage bc he had his guy; but his strength is he's able to dissect a defense and find the open guy. So, taking away a person that he has to throw the ball to X times a game, may actually help the offense in general.

Jimmy isn't really elevating the Seahawks red zone scoring either.
Posted on 8/31/15 at 10:11 am to Hodson2Fuller
Thread is stupid. Preseason. 
Call me when we can't score more than 10 ppg by week 3.

His blocking is actually netting them negative run plays

Saints have sucked in the red zone for quite some time now. Jimmy didn't seem to help a whole lot last season
