re: PFF Cumulative Stats for Games #1-9

Any way you can post a link to the scores from last game only?

I just don't get what the hell happened to Vacarro. Is he playing a different role than he did last season? I recall last season he made some pretty good plays in kind of a coverage LB role against inside WRs/TEs and he had great success in doing so. Not so much this season.

Also, as every person here has already posted, Walker needs more snaps. This dude has been a straight up beast when he gets the chance. I don't see why he isn't getting that many snaps. I suppose the injury theory is what's on everyone's minds in regards to not playing a lot of snaps, but who knows.

Next season, we have 4 huge needs:
-Athletic ILB (Benardrick McKinney in the draft would serve this well, dude is a stud)
-A good cover corner (unless Dixon keeps it up, but I think we should address this in FA and not the draft)
-Interior linemen (Now here I trust our luck in the draft with. We have made great selections for OL in the draft, so I could see two mid round OGs in our upcoming draft)
-Last but not least, Colston's replacement. I hate to say this since I love what Colston has brought these last 8 years, but he just isn't the same WR we used to know. I don't really have much hope for Nick Toon anymore unfortunately, so hopefully we could find a big WR somewhere in the draft or as someone mentioned earlier, a decent WR that had a down year that would be willing to come here with a reasonable price tag. Someone like Cecil Shorts would or Denarius Moore I suppose.

Can anyone tell me how long Evans has left on his contract? Good lord what horrible pass protection. I think OL in the first round is almost a must next year. CB is about the only other position I'd consider.

Yeah we've done well in the late rounds somehow on those spots a few times. I just hate to see such an awful number. Averaging damn near a -2 every single game in pass blocking. At least the run blocking is solid, but that goes for pretty much the entire line.

Evans is most likely gone. I think Colston takes a paycut to stick around, and we draft a bigger WR at some point this upcoming draft. While they aren't the same type of WR, the Steelers got a steal last year with Martavis Bryant in the 4th.

While I do like PFF, and understand that you have to take their score with a grain of salt, I though this was interesting:

Impressive. #Saints Rob Ryan points out that 70-yd pass vs GB shouldn't have been credited to CB Keenan Lewis. And @PFF makes quick fix.

Well, excuse me for not subscribing to every one of your PFF threads. Carry on...

"Yeah, we've discussed that." is a bit pretentious of a response. I am a very frequent visitor of the board, and apparently I missed that discussion so I'm sure others did as well. I do enjoy these threads, so it's all good.

I've gotta eat crow and say Brandin Cooks has been pretty good. Given that he's a rookie WR starting in the NFL.

Impressive.

Are lack of WR production has been the issue for 2 years. Cost us last year dearly as well. Old and slow. People on here tend to disagree but if you have Meacham on the team that says a lot of talent is missing. With exception of Cooks , WR picks over last several years not good. Even Stills is so so.

Also can't believe Brees still on lace for 5000+ yards. Cold weather at Bears and Steelers could prevent him.
