I don't much care for Kenny Vaccaro. Paying a bit of a premium on Coleman is fine by me.

I’d be happy with Jackson, Rosen or Mayfield, if any of them drop to the Saints.

Jackson somehow dropping that far would be awesome.

The more I read about the Bensons, the gladder I am that the team went to his wife rather than his daughter and her kids. They seem like bigger assholes the more I read.

Yes. Gayle Benson owns the Saints and Pelicans. The kids were cut from the will.

From what I've read, this is a good thing. Rita is supposedly a psycho (firing all those assistants) and the kids have deep ties to San Antonio.

Well they won the division and went 3-0 against the Panthers so something they are doing is working.

Yeah maybe Hill is the man. He's fast and strong, not sure how he would stack up vs Jackson in mobility, but I could see him as enough of a dual threat to develop the Saints offense into another dimension we don't use right now. No ones gonna be as accurate as Brees though, so we'll have to get used to that.

Thousand-yard stare as I remember Taysom Hill running for 250 yards against us in a knee brace.

to be fair third place counts as "out of the basement" and ATL/NO are both really overdue for a "our QB is injured, we're hosed" season, so there's hope!

Hey, they tried to get Jimmy back. So it's Ben Watson, Josh Hill, and a bunch of UDFA TEs on the roster. One dude is 6' 10" (Nate Wozniak).

I also didn't watch much NFL last year outside of the playoffs. A lot of that is because there's a parade every loving Sunday in New Orleans and that's awesome, but it's hard to watch since I don't have cable and I feel bad whenever anyone gets hurt. Mostly I followed the Saints in the news after the games.

Joey Freshwater posted:

Y’all could watch college football instead

:lol: Yeah it's all the same moral objections you already had, plus the players are completely unpaid and treated like poo poo by millionaire coaches and administrators.

Edit: I guess I'm just explaining the joke everyone already got. I'm a bad poster.

Plus all the NFC South teams that matter also have NBA teams, so you can keep the rivalries going in the offseason (except they hardly play each other).

Drew Brees will take the pressure off Kamara

Brees is pretty good at not taking sacks for a slow old dude, but it would be hilarious to see him scramble for a first down.

I think this happened at some point last year to everyone's amazement? Maybe in a playoff game?

He scrambled for a freakin touchdown in that one game last season where the team ran for over 300 yards. Pretty sure Kamara, Ingram and Brees all got touchdowns on the ground that game

Zach Strief was officially announced as Jim Henderson's replacement as the play-by-play announcer for the Saints. So with Deuce as the color analyst guy, we've got two former Saints who played together as our home announcing team with drunk uncle Bobby Hebert still having his talk show.

Never heard of a former player getting the main play-by-play gig right after he retired, but I hope he does a hell of a job and is a pure homer with calls.

drat I'm gonna have to tune in.
