re: The Saints played for long haul with selection of tyson
Posted by Dats Who on 8/15/26 at 1:55 pm to whatiknowsofar
I believe.
I believe Tyson will play this year despite “concerns” and I believe he will have success over the long term, despite these “concerns”.
The proof is in the pudding. If I’m wrong I’ll eat my crow well done with BBQ.
There’s nothing wrong with optimism. No one knows, one way or the other. It’s all speculation.

Phillip Rivers sat his first year behind Drew Brees in San Diego.
Again, I’m not suggesting Tyson will miss the entire first year. I’m suggesting that the risk/reward was worth it for where we are on our timeline.
We are reloading. Look at this draft class, 7 of the 8 may make the team. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

So when a GM picks their QB for the future and he sits and learns for his first year, what then?

I agree with you for the most part.
I don’t believe the expectation is/was for him to miss the entire first year, but the truth of the matter is that he was still nursing his injury when we drafted him. So the possibility of missed time to begin the season was there all along.
In my opinion it is why we triple dipped at wide receivers in the draft, to hedge our bet. Brown in the 6th and Lance in the 4th and both are also looking really good.
I loved the pick then, and still do now. His success, as you mentioned, will be determined over the long haul.
Here’s my opinion. I believe. I believe he will contribute this year. I also believe we struck gold with all 3 of the receivers picked.

re: Darren Rizzi talks Blake Grupe, Lou Hedley
Posted by Dats Who on 8/30/23 at 9:08 pm to LooseCannon22282
That was a good listen.
He mentioned Hedley’s rugby style of kicking was allowed in college but not in the NFL. Thought that was interesting and telling. Also, rugby punter, I’m already imagining fake punts with him plowing through the pile.
Not mentioned, but relevant to Grupe…. I was sold on him in the last preseason game on the missed field goal. I’m probably embellishing a little, but it looked like it could have been good from 65-70.

re: Practice Squad

Johnathan Abrams - S
Lynn Bowden - WR
Ryan Connelly - LB
Shaq Davis - WR
Mark Evans II - OL
Jack Heflin - DL
Anthony Johnson- DB
Jontre Kirklin - WR
Tommy Kraemer - G
Nikki Lalos - DE
Ellis Merriweather - RB
Storm Norton - T
Anfernee Orji - LB
Kyle Phillips - DE
Jaylon Smith - LB
Ty Summers - LB
Really liked all 3 WRs, especially Shaq Davis and Kirklin, glad they made it to the practice squad. I really thought either or both could’ve made the 53, but what do I know.
Jaylon Smith made it to the practice squad too. I liked what I saw from him in preseason and thought he was a lock. Figured he’d be our 3rd best linebacker and back up either Werner or Davis. Really shocked he made it, and even more shocked he was cut to begin with.
Niko Lalos also made it. I was impressed with his motor, albeit against 3rd string.
I like what I see. We kept our guys, or our guys kept us. Either way, just glad we were able to hold on to them.
I’m nervously excited about this season, and ready for it to begin. September 10th can’t get here soon enough.

re: Saints QB rotation tonite?
Posted by Dats Who on 8/27/23 at 3:46 pm to Sauce Castieaux
I see your point with Carr, but I’m alright with him sitting this one out.
I’d also prefer it if Winston would sit this one out too. Like it or not, we know what we have in him.
I’d like to see Haener all game, or at least with the starters. I’m excited about this kid’s future. I need to see more so I can either slow my roll or throttle up.

I wonder if the deaths from heart disease, diabetes, etc, etc are randomly down this year? Anybody want to bet?
This is what I’ve been saying.
If Trump has to be blamed for all the covid deaths, he should be credited with eliminating deaths due to cancer, heart disease and diabetes...
I’d also like to see the comparison between 2019’s non-covid deaths compared to 2020’s non-covid deaths.
Oh, and how many run of the mill flu deaths this year. Assuming they’ve been rolled into the covid count too.
Spell check kept changing it for me. Asymptomatic.
Covid19 death comparison
Posted by Dats Who on 9/3/20 at 10:53 am
Covid19 related deaths in the US is roughly 186,000.
Anti-smoking ads by ‘truth’ claim 1,200 US citizens die each day from cigarette smoking.
So... x365, 438,000 per year and we sell cigarettes.
Abortion deaths claimed 862,000 in 2017, couldn’t find a more recent count. I’m assuming it is 862k or greater.
Accidental deaths (unintentional injury related) claim 169,936 yearly average in the US.
Heart disease claims 647,457 yearly US average.
Cancer claims 599,108 yearly average in the US.
Black men killed by cops in the US is 8. Although a fact checking source said 13 last year.
I know we don’t listen to the ‘WHO’ anymore, but within the last week they issued a report that said symptomatic carriers do not spread the virus. Wait, what? Why in the frick are we wearing masks other than to virtue signal.
I’m ready for a mask burning mostly peaceful protest.

Just passed there at 7:15. There were still 2 of them. Tempted to go counter protest, peacefully of course.
re: NFL: "We were wrong"
Posted by Dats Who on 6/6/20 at 7:49 am to Tiger in Texas
Isn’t affirmative action a thing. Shouldn’t the NFL and other major sports be required to have a 50/50 split, or better fractioned to include all races. I feel like other races are oppressed in the current sporting culture.
I’m curious. What would Torch say about this?
re: The Athletic says Davenport worth all the 1st round picks we gave up
Posted by Dats Who on 12/6/19 at 2:02 pm to Pesadelo_Triangulo
I don’t know what more to tell you that hasn’t been said already. Individual stats, check. Team stats, check. Eyeball test, check. High ceiling, check. Elite Defensive Ends are worth a premium and we received great value. As for your opinion, you’re entitled to it, but it doesn’t make you right nor change the opinion of the majority.
Snead was in Payton’s dog house after the DUI, and when he came back he was out of shape. I also believe it was a culture thing as I seem to recall him being involved in the whole Cooks / Thomas riff. Not mad at all. 10-2 and playoff bound, seems we’re doing something right.

12-4
2 seed in the NFC
1 seed loses so we end up with home field throughout
Rematch the Rams and the refs can't even help them this time
Super Bowl victory over the Chiefs
Despite winning the Super Bowl, Brees won't rule out coming back for one more year

So... because I thought Butler had a chance to make the 53 man roster I suck arse at evaluating?
I'm willing to bet that most of our fellow posters had one of the two of them on their mock 53.

Yeah can’t hear him ask the question from here either.
ISWYDT.
Confession time....
Personally I was pulling for Butler.
and I'm not questioning CSP.
But, I figured one of the two of them would have made the team.
Outside-ish chance at both making it.
Wouldn't have guessed both would be cut.
Glad they made it through waivers to the Practice Squad.
