Eric Kromer coached a group of lunch pail guys and made some all pros. It can be done.
Our line now plays like they have no faith in what they are doing

Losing Banks also hurt while Fuaga has regressed. Even with Ruiz's faults he has way more experience then the rookie and experience is worth something.



the right side of the O-line played so bad vs. the steelers.

we bang on Ruiz, but Wright sucked arse. Granted it was his first start, and they knew when we were running and what have you.

They lost Banks for 10 weeks. Those injuries decimate an OL

Correct along with tipping off their plays. Someone is tipping off the plays. There is No Way you can run 18 times for 1 yard.

Mostly coaching ?


Yes. The offense is predictable. Moore is predictable. And the oline coach sucks

Why we kept Kendre Miller over Estime boggles the mind.


It shouldn't. Its been explained ad nauseum.

But, for the last time.

Estime was put on IR.

Estime with his agent felt he could play sooner then the IR schedule allowed, and even when cleared from IR knew he was going to be a long shot to make the top 3 RB's in NOLA meaning cut or worse waiting around on the PS for a chance.

Estime and his agent requested a medical settlement / release so he could try to catch on with a team that could use him an he might have a chance to play more reps. (This is not at all unusual)

What would have been highly unusual, would have been for Loomis to say no, and it would have sent a clear message to other players that the Saints will bury you on they IR/PS and hold you hostage.

The Saints coming to an injury settlement with Estime and releasing him from their IR meant they could not resign him for the max time frame of his IR iirc, or possibly at all in the 26/27 season.

regardless, having Estime on this team would not move the needle of fixing this offenses problems.

Yet these guys are getting beat right off the snap before they can even execute the scheme whether it's zone or not. The backfired has defenders almost waiting around to make the tackle.

Gotcha, but it would solve the Kendre Miller problem.

The biggest issue is losing Banks.
