Screw that guy.

I'd like to erase him and Cant Get Right Mike from my Saints memory.

So a one year deal that wouldn’t matter in 7 months means what in regards to draft picks and getting younger in future years?

It doesn’t take away from that. That being said I don’t really want him, but he’s m being a vet or old is irrelevant for future building process.

Gardner-Johnson has struggled to consistently guard the correct opposing player when required to "match coverage" based on the Texans' defensive call and the routes run by the offense, struggles that also occurred during walk-throughs in the lead-up to games.

During Houston's Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, quarterback Matthew Stafford threw a 13-yard touchdown to tight end Davis Allen, who ran a corner route into the end zone, which Gardner-Johnson was responsible for. Texans cornerback Kamari Lassiter tried to clean up the coverage bust but wasn't able to run down Allen. Houston lost the game 14-9.

In Week 2, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield threw an over route to wideout Ryan Miller for a 20-yard touchdown on the game's opening drive. The Texans were in Cover-2, which required Gardner-Johnson to cover the deep right half of the field. He instead jumped a 10-yard in-breaking route from Buccaneers wideout Sterling Shepard, exposing the deep half for the Miller scoring reception. The Texans lost 20-19.

Last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Gardner-Johnson made a crucial mistake with the game knotted 10-10 late in the fourth quarter, jumping an out-breaking route by Parker Washington when he was responsible for anything over the middle of the field, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence pounced on the mistake, hitting receiver Brian Thomas on a post for a 46-yard reception down to Houston's 10-yard line against man-to-man coverage

Didn't he play for Philadelphia last year?

So coach Moore knows him as a player.

He's a talented guy but there is a reason he gets moved at every possible chance a team can get to move or cut him. He wears thin in the lockerroom extremely quickly


He’s mostly been on good teams and they’ve moved on from him afterwards. I can’t imagine what he would be like on a losing team like ours. Like Peak Jimmy Butler level discontent!

No. I don’t think I did.

A vast majority on here thought Dennis Allen was a good hire….

I’ll be happy to link that to if you like…

Him and MT were the best I've seen/heard on the Saints.

And Ricky didn't have to say a word.

CJGJ is, at best, mildly retarded...

That interview they did with on Fox pregame last week was ridiculous.. "The Eagles let me walk because they didnt want to face me in practice.."

why should we try to grab players to help this team win games.



Because people on here are dumb. Those same people were yelling we need to do a rebuild and now they want to win a couple games. It makes 0 sense.
