re: How did Trevor Penning look yesterday?

All centers SHOULD be able to play guard, but not all guards can play center.

re: OL is trash

So these rankings/review below are from:
LINK

Note: Guard & Tackle position rankings are not separated by L or R so Ruiz's 36th ranking puts him right in the middle (or average) range if you figure 64 starting guards in the league. Fuaga's ranking clearly shows how he's been hampered by the knee.

14) New Orleans Saints

C Erik McCoy: 91.7 (3rd)
LT Kelvin Banks Jr.: 78.5 (28th)
LG Dillon Radunz: 78.4 (23rd)
RG Cesar Ruiz: 74.6 (36th)
RT Taliese Fuaga: 61.7 (59th)

Here we are, with the New Orleans Saints’ offensive line performing admirably well, all things considered. It hasn’t led to victories just yet, but it’s hard to say the offensive woes are on this offensive line so far in 2025.

Collectively, they’ve averaged 0.98 yards before contact per carry and hold top-12 marks in quick pressure rate, true dropback pressure rate, and sack rate overall.

re: Shams bomb: Pels trade CJ, Olynyk, future 2nd for Jordan Poole, Bey and 40th pick

OK. So I kinda get trading Herb from a strictly financial standpoint - depending on who you get back. However, I would argue he is exactly the type of player that you want to hang on to if you are trying to reset the culture. He is a hard nosed, lead by example, gym rat, selfless effort guy who is an athletic All-NBA defender, and becoming very solid on the corner 3. He is the guy you want holding other players accountable and setting the culture of the team as a vet. I could see Dumars seeing alot of himself in Herb.

re: Saints plan to play Kelvin Banks Jr. at multiple positions this summer

Posted by LakeviewLemon on 5/22/25 at 4:51 pm to MONROE

How many games together (all 5 starters on the field) did the starting O-line have last year? Hell even the backups were hurt.

Penning wasn't great at tackle, but when all 5 were healthy, the O-line was OK.
Also how many games did we start a rookie QB? They tend to hold the ball longer and take more sacks.

And having guys off the street playing WR that can't get open also makes QB's hold the ball. So I don't know that last year was a fair yardstick to measure the starting OL by.

re: Trey Murphy out for the season (torn labrum)

Posted by LakeviewLemon on 3/18/25 at 10:58 am to Islandboy777

Tearing your labrum in a freak play diving on the court and getting kicked in minute 1 of a game has nothing to do with Ocshner or playing Murphy too much. You could maybe the team/training staff for Zion injuries and some of the other pulled hammy type injuries, etc., but not this, Herb's injury, nor Murray's broken finger. Just ridiculously sh@tty luck.
Time to burn some sage, say some Hail Marys, or get a voodoo priestess out to the SKC or something.
