re: OL is trash

Trash is grossly inaccurate. Not dominant, sure. Tackles are good (if healthy). Fuaga is playing with a bad knee and it showed on that last sack. But they are young and should continue to improve. And center is good. It would be nice to see what they look like with Penning in there at guard. Ruiz appears to be average, so is probably an overpay. I think the line would be fine with a little health and continuity. Maybe not what you would hope with 4 first rounders and 1 2nd, but again we haven't seen a snap from Penning at guard yet and not sure you can really accurately fully ssess the young tackles yet.

You really have no clue about Rita. She is a dumpster fire on a train that wrecked on the way to a sh@t show......

I don't know this to be true, but suspect to some extent that Queen is initially Zion insurance. If (when) Z gets hurt, or comes out of the game, Queen does some of the same things Z does offensively (connecting, attacking the rim, etc. albeit not in the same way) to allow the offense to flow. Hopefully they develop some synergy and are able to play together and not be a sieve defensively.

I have a Duckhill dog and am very happy. But if I am not mistaken, I think they are shutting their doors. I believe Mr. Milner passed away.

re: Would Rita Benson Leblanc have allowed the Saints to fall like this?

Every time I see someone mention her as a better option, I cringe. I had limited business dealings with her. It was a sh@t show. She was both OCD and ADD simultaneously. Late, distracted, spoiled. Then Benson sent her packing and we dealt with Gayle. Night and day difference, she was decisive and professional. Now I can't offer any insight as to how Gayle operates the Saints, but from the limited interactions I had, everyone should thank the God, Budda, the everywhere spirit, whomever you pray to that Tom came to his senses and gave Rita an apple and a road map outta town.

Same issue I am having. Did the same thing. Kinda a blessing in disguise I suppose-at least yesterday. I'm in NOLA. Wonder if its a Cox New Orleans issue?

Anyone have problems DVR-ing the games on Cox? I have tried a couple times and keep getting error messages when I try to play back. Only have issues with that channel.

Dude is standing almost upright and letting the DE's get under him almost every snap. That's basic high school OL techinque that he's f'ing up. It's bad.

re: Karlo is our starting center

Posted by Albatross47 on 7/17/24 at 2:07 pm to BamaPelican

I think the notion of us having a "staring center" is a misconception. Zion will be our "starting" 5, on the court with CJ (or Trey), BI, Herb & Murray. They will play the best 5 players that are all switchable on D, except for CJ.
Karlo (& Theis) will be taking the backup 5 minutes, unless Yves' growth this year is beyond what could reasonably be expected. We will give up some on D down low and rebounding, but force the other team's bigs to cover Z or one of our "wings." That should be a mismatch. Will it work? Dunno. But barring a BI trade, I think that is more likely than not the strategy.
