Saints 31
Titans 17

M. Thomas with 2 TDs

A. Taylor with an INT
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.

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.

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.

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?
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

Shows that all 32 teams with unlimited resources and evaluation time all agree that you suck arse at evaluating


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.
quote:

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.

I was hoping to see a whole game of Bridgewater. We already know what's up with the Swiss Army knife, no need to risk injury.

The only ones I’m worried about are Robertson and Anzalone. Maybe Edwards too because we’re going to be without Onyemata


Agreed.

Most worried about Robertson especially if Anzalone misses time, we'd be without our ST demon and all purpose backup.

Next most worrisome is Kirkwood / Carr. If either injury is severe you'd figure the other was their replacement on the 53 man roster.

If both miss out it really opens the door for the WR competition.
One of the reasons I don't always agree with PFF grades. However, when they back up what I'm saying they're the be all do all. Just not this time.

One of these guys is not like the other, which one of these guys just doesn't belong?

Injury Questions

Posted by Dats Who on 8/26/19 at 9:05 pm
Several players have missed time or left the last preseason game injured.

Any idea the severity of said injuries and how that may impact our 53 man roster.

Rankins now off of PUP will have to be carried on the 53 to start the season.

Robertson left preseason game 2, rumored to have heard something pop.

Mario Edwards left game 2, unknown.

Kirkwood left preseason game 3, escorted to the locker room.

Carr left preseason game 3, unknown.

Anzalone left preseason game 1, shoulder.

Sherrels hasn't played, but doesn't matter.

Murray has been limited, very limited in my opinion, cause for concern?

Washington left preseason game 3, concussion protocol.



Loved Ingram. He'll be missed.

Bridgewater is another story.

Tend to agree with Chad.

Not so much hate for TB as it is preference for TH.

Because: You play to win the game and that's not Bridgewater.
