Not sure why, but I am excited to watch Lance if he gets to the 53 man roster. Reminds me of a much larger Brandin Cooks.

Not so much worried about the hamstring injury/history, but more so with the Saints' training staff. Can they KEEP him healthy and rehab correctly?
re: So? Three receivers in this draft? Anybody thinks they might want to move from Olave ??
Posted by JRE1980 on 4/26/26 at 9:01 am to saintlad74
I have to believe that in some way, Olave's concussions had to do with this selection of WRs.
I mean, how many more can he sustain before his career is effectively over?
4 in pro career and at least one in college. He even contemplated retiring last year if I'm not mistaken.

I agree. Not so worried about defensive side of the ball for now. I mean, look at what we were able to produce with an offensive juggernaut while Drew was here. Our defense needed so much help to even hold opponents to 10 points less a game to where we weren't playing from behind.
The young kid Lance may be a special teams returner with his 4.3 speed. Tyson wasn't my favorite pick, but at this point, injuries can happen at any moment. I feel Olave is one or two head shots from ending his career. Vele and Tyson may be able to be some huge play-makers.
I DO love watching Tyson's route running and ability to get separation. He also goes AFTER BALLS which are thrown poorly. So with Shough throwing some good balls, he may be able to continue running in stride and use his speed.
I love the TE pick up from Georgia, as I wasn't sold on what we have, even with the Fant pickup. If JJ would catch most of everything thrown to him, we would be a much bigger force inside the 20 yard line. I remember when we had Graham, all you had to do was throw the ball within his reach and it was a done deal.
I feel like with your #1 Olave, #2 Tyson and #3 Vele plus a good set up at TE puts us in a great spot to average at least 21+ points per game. You then throw in Etienne Jr., Neal and Kamara and it makes defenses begin to wonder.
I remember watching when we had Deuce, Reggie, Thomas and then having Colston, Henderson.......the run set up the pass plays and they were huge. Having a bruiser-type RB and then a speed guy forces guys to play up more, leaving the burst-speed WR to get open.

Most exciting off-season acquisition?
Posted by JRE1980 on 4/24/26 at 3:16 pm
Between Tyson, Etienne Jr., Fant, Ellis (again), Edwards, or others not mentioned, who has you most excited to watch?
Going for the boring pick, but I want to see what Edwards can do on the o-line. I want to watch Shough have the option to pick his weapons with time in the pocket.

At least we didn't go OT, or any offensive lineman/project players. We took the one with the most talent at their position.

If he is available later 2nd/3rd round, would he be a possible pickup for us? Seems like a good kid, and plays hard on every down.
re: Kyle Pitts FA after 2025 season
Posted by JRE1980 on 10/24/25 at 6:57 pm to blackandgolddude
Not sure where the confusion lies.
He will be a FA after 2025 season. Atlanta may possibly trade him. Someone asked me if we would trade for half a season, and I said no, I meant after 2025 season is over.

No, I'm talking about after this season is over.

Thoughts on Atlanta possibly trading him? Not sure the divisional rival would be a great idea. Especially since our TE situation has been horrible since Graham.
When Drew was around
Posted by JRE1980 on 10/20/25 at 6:37 pm
What do you think was his biggest contribution?
Ability to read defenses
Recognizing and adjusting play-call @ line of scrimmage
Accuracy/% completion
Work-ethic / Positive mindset
2-minute drill

Bro, Kamara was fed the ball 11 times yesterday. ELEVEN......
re: Is Olave THAT bad or is this all a show for a trade?
Posted by JRE1980 on 10/12/25 at 4:18 pm to GeauxBayouBengals
Look how many players the Saints have had that blew up after leaving. And they SUCKED here as well.
I get that, but it seems like he is doing JUST enough to get traded.

Posted by JRE1980 on 10/12/25 at 3:48 pm
Guess he knows that we are not in the 'win now' mode and he doesn't see any post-season possibilities with this squad for another 2-3 years IF we are lucky.
First two seasons, he had 1000+ yards receiving, but only 4-5 TDs

Yeah, but with any slight improvement from Rattler and having Shough, what is the probability that we pick a QB if we have a top 5 pick?
As of now, what should we do?
Posted by JRE1980 on 10/11/25 at 9:05 am
So we all know that this season is a wash/crash-n-burn/tank/rebuild, whatever you want to call it.
My question is, do we look at rebuilding with any FA or possible trades (us getting a player vs strictly a pick in the draft), OR do we just rely on draft picks and development of current young players?
I saw Trey Hendrickson is a possible trade candidate, but not sure if he's too expensive. I feel like he may actually work out for us with our current staff vs. when DA was here.
I would feel alright trading Kamara with us having Neal and Miller, but can Miller stay healthy ALL season?
Ok with Olave being traded, as he is too intermittently productive. If he can get us a high couple of draft picks, that would help out.

Penning so far...?

I haven't been able to watch but maybe half of one game. How has he been playing so far? Also, who took Ruiz's place?
re: Trade Olave, Kamara, Werner.

Would love to see Cam get a ring at some point, no matter which team he plays for. Overall good guy. Sucks he couldn't get a title with Drew.
re: Overall? Not a bad game?
Posted by JRE1980 on 9/28/25 at 3:30 pm to saints5021
Yes, but isn't that the entire point right now?

Posted by JRE1980 on 9/28/25 at 3:25 pm
Rattler looks better each week. He has scrambling ability, but still seems timid with the ball at times. Glad to see Miller FINALLY doing something besides warming a bench.
Olave.........hard pass. Thought he would be something special, but consistently disappoints.
Running game looks good, but need to feed them more than 26 between two players. The running game apparently looked good.
Defense is getting outplayed weekly and I'm not sure if it is lack of talent, or age, or BOTH.
I know Buffalo is a SB contender, but for one half, we were right there with them.
Did I see that we didn't punt once today? I would call that a win.
Grupe was finally decent.
Sanker was a madman. I like how he plays like his contract is on the line.
4 Penalties as well.
