Reaper Skins Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 In regards to the running game. 5 yard pickups look a heck of alot better to the eye when you only have to go 10 yards. When your stuck in 1st and 15 or 1st and 20, even a decent run becomes totally useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Two things. Last year we tied for 14th in running the ball, so we do run it. Can't pretend one game full of bad penalties changes that. Last year the saints had 131 players on their cap. Next closest I believe was in the 90s.

SemperFi Skins Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 So, did we make the call yet to bring Jack Allen over here from the Saints PS... Did we make the call to Spiller? Spiller is one of those guys who will go to the Patriots (smart organization) and simply dominate. Or he will spell DeAngelo Williams until Bell is back.

SemperFi Skins Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000702358/article/chiefs-waive-thirdround-pick-keivarae-russell Chiefs just cut their 3rd Round CB, KeiVarae Russell... he was drafted in this 2016 draft. Not injured either. NFL.com says he has a ton of talent. Something must be up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The hell? The weird thing about that is he was their most likely mid-round pick to actually make an impact...they spent a couple of 4ths on raw, talented WR's with off-field questions in Demarcus Robinson and Tyreek Hill (who is a dick but a pure playmaker--already scored his first TD on his only touch this weekend). Just crazy to cut a 3rd rounder, what the hell is going on there Just checked out a Chiefs board...sounds like he's been beaten out by another rookie who isn't as athletic but has been more technically sound. Russell still recovering from an injury from last season, I guess. Too bad we don't have any room for another developmental CB (although I'd cut Toler if this guy could pass a physical) Guy is a freak: At 5'11/192, Russell ran 4.49 with a 38 1/2-inch vertical and 11-foot-2 broad jump. Raw, coming off an injury...still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been reading lots of stuff that Spiller is dumb as a doornail and in two offseasons couldn't pick up the Saints offense at a satisfactory level for them to really feel comfortable with him, even though he's finally healthy now. I mean, it makes sense...his salary is already guaranteed and they also kept him around long enough to pay his roster bonus, so they were obviously waiting for the turning point and it never came. Only thing that really makes sense. And you're freaking delusional if you think the entire league is just leaving a potential starting center out there on a PS. I'd say its much, much, much more likely that your evaluation of Jack Allen was probably just a bit off and he needs a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say its much, much, much more likely that your evaluation of Jack Allen was probably just a bit off and he needs a lot of work. 4 year starter at Michigan State, in pro-style offense. Can play any position on the line. Most accomplished athlete in school history. • 2015 FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICAN (AP, CBS SPORTS, SI.COM) • TWO-TIME FIRST-TEAM ALL-BIG TEN (COACHES, MEDIA) • TWO-TIME RIMINGTON TROPHY FINALIST (NATION'S TOP CENTER) • BACK-TO-BACK FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICAN (USA TODAY, 2014) Also was runner-up for Nations Top Scholar Athlete Most talking heads were dumbfounded when he went undrafted. His size is the biggest concern, but plays much stronger and powerful than his size indicates. Also Illinois State title holder in wrestling. NFL Comparison Olin Kreutz Bottom Line Despite having a cat named "Bubbles," Allen is a coach's dream with the leadership, competitiveness and the tenacious mindset to grind out the will of defenders by the end of the fourth quarter. While there are clearly some athletic limitations, Allen is especially adept at minimizing those while accentuating his strengths. There are too many check marks in his favor to expect him to fall short of an NFL career as an eventual starter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKhpzb0cAxY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPvZVRSxP0M <---- Vs.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Did Spiller sign anywhere? I'm sure Gruden can dumb down his role in the offense enough so he can catch out of the backfield, run screens and scatter around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFi Skins Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yet, he was fantastic with the bills and a pro-bowler... Seems the me the Saints have too many hands to feed and couldn't find a way to use Spiller... I think that speaks more to their Offensive Coordinator than it does Spiller. Some are fascinated with talking themselves out of a player when they know he's better than anything we currently have. Scot said he wanted 'football players.' Spiller is a multi-use, talented, football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFi Skins Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Meanwhile, some remain surprised by Spiller’s departure from New Orleans. On Wednesday, coach Sean Payton addressed the decision with reporters. Quote “It didn’t have to be done by the first game of the season,” Payton said. “His salary was guaranteed. This was more about, ‘Is there a potential trade partner?’ Obviously, the urgency changed with the injury of Delvin Breaux. [Spiller is] a phenomenal guy/teammate. We spent about a half hour just he and I talking yesterday. I think he’s going to have an opportunity sooner than later with another club and yet the window in this building or this club’s not definitely closed.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/09/14/c-j-spiller-would-be-wise-to-wait/ We literally wouldn't have to pay him anything to play this year since the Saints have to pay him out. Yes, it would be wise for Spiller to wait to sign a contract. But most football players just want to be on the field... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Since I'm not feeling too excited about the regular season right now, I thought I'd get back to something I enjoyed during the last 25 years and that's looking at the waiver wire / free agents to see who's available for us to pick up. Normally I'm excited about this more in the offseason because I could look at upcoming free agents and stuff, but since I don't really like free agency too much any more and since that area's pretty dry right now, I thought it may be nice to look at other teams practice squads. Here's a list of the practice squads of the 32 teams in the NFL as noted by nfl.com on September 4th of this year. Arizona Cardinals QB Aaron Murray, WR Brittan Golden, CB Harlan Miller, TE Ifeanyi Momah, LB Shaq Riddick, RB Elijhaa Penny, WR Chris Hubert, TE Hakeem Valles, OT Givens Price Atlanta Falcons DE Nordly Capi, CB Devonte Johnson, DT Joey Mbu, WR J.D. McKissic, S Sharrod Neasman, QB Matt Simms, TE D.J. Tialavea Baltimore Ravens WR Keenan Reynolds, TE Daniel Brown, DE Kapron Lewis-Moore, LB Brennen Beyer, OT Blaine Clausell, C Matt Skura, LB Patrick Onwuassor, RB Stephen Houston Buffalo Bills K Jordan Gay, WR Dezmin Lewis Carolina Panthers CB Zack Sanchez, S Marcus Ball, LB Brian Blechen, DT Eric Crume, S Travell Dixon, WR Keyarris Garrett, TE Beau Sandland, RB Jalen Simmons, DE Larry Webster, G David Yankey Chicago Bears QB Matt Barkley, CB DeVante Bausby, TE Ben Braunecker, WR Daniel Braverman, LB John Timu, OT Jason Weaver, RB Senorise Perry, OL Cornelius Edison, DB Demontre Hurst Cincinnati Bengals DE Ryan Brown, RB Tra Carson, DT David Dean, CB Darius Hillary, WR Jake Kumerow, TE Matt Lengel, CB Tony McRae, G Alex Redmond, WR Alonzo Russell Cleveland Browns QB Kevin Hogan, OL Dan France, TE Connor Hamlett, WR Darius Jennings, OL Kaleb Johnson, OL Anthony Fabiano, DB Ed Reynolds, DL Gabe Wright, DB Trey Caldwell, P Michael Palardy, RB Terrell Watson Dallas Cowboys C Jake Brendel, TE Rico Gathers, WR Andy Jones, LB Deon King, WR Vince Mayle, DE Ryan Russell, TE Austin Traylor, QB Jameill Showers Denver Broncos C Dillon Day, LB Vontarrius Dora, WR Mose Frazier, TE Henry Krieger Coble, S Ryan Murphy, OT Justin Murray, CB Taurean Nixon, RB Juwan Thompson Detroit Lions WR Jace Billingsley, CB Alex Carter, WR T.J.

Brent, CB Kenneth Durden, DL Branden Jackson, OG Denver Kirkland, WR Jaydon Mickens, TE Ryan O'Malley, OG Oni Omoile, LB Korey Toomer Philadelphia Eagles G Darrell Greene, WR Marcus Johnson, RB Byron Marshall, DT Aziz ****tu, WR David Watford, CB C.J. Smith, WR Paul Turner Pittsburgh Steelers RB Brandon Brown-Dukes, RB Cameron Stingily, WR DeMarcus Ayers, WR Cobi Hamilton, TE RaShaun Allen, OT Matt Feiler, DE Caushaud Lyons, DT Johnny Maxey, CB Al-Hajj Shabazz, LB Travis Feeney San Diego Chargers DT Kaleb Eulls, LB Ben Gardner, S Adrian McDonald, OT Austin Shepherd, WR Dom Williams, CB Trevor Williams San Francisco 49ers RB Kelvin Taylor Seattle Seahawks Tampa Bay Buccaneers OL Josh Allen, LB Micah Awe, RB Peyton Barber, WR Jeremy Butler, CB Javien Elliott, OL Ben Gottschalk, RB Russell Hansbrough, S Isaiah Johnson, LB Josh Keyes, WR Freddie Martino Tennessee Titans DT Antwaun Woods, TE Jerome Cunningham, LB Justin Staples, OT Tyler Marz, C/G Ronald Patrick, RB David Fluellen, DB Curtis Riley, WR Ben Roberts, CB Kalan Reed Washington Redskins G Nila Kasitati, LB Lynden Trail, DE Matthew Ioannidis, OT Isaiah Williams, OL Vinston Painter, WR Kendal Thompson, WR Maurice Harris, FB Joe Kerridge, RB Mack Brown So from what I see, these are the guys who have the potential to make our roster this season (particularly if injuries become a problem): DE Nordly Capi DE Kapron Lewis-Moore DE Ryan Brown DE Ryan Russell DE Brandon Dunn DE Ufomba Kamalu DE Sterling Bailey DE Cleyon Laing DE Jordan Williams DE Mehdi Abdesmad DE Stephen Weatherly DE Stansly Maponga DE Ishaq Williams DE Caushaud Lyons DE Matthew Ioannidis DL Gabe Wright DL David King DL Morgan Fox DL Geneo Grissom DL Woodrow Hamilton DL Branden Jackson DT Joey Mbu DT Eric Crume DT David Dean DT Kelcy Quarles DT Richard Ash DT Toby Johnson DT Aziz ****tu DT Johnny Maxey DT Kaleb Eulls DT Antwaun Woods S Sharrod Neasman S Marcus Ball S Travell Dixon S Ryan Murphy S A.J.

RemoveSnyder Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 For passrush: Seems that Davis Tull is a street FA. Selected in the 5th round by the Saints in 2015. He had shoulder labrum surgery before the draft, but his 2015 season was washed out with a follow up shoulder surgery, no specifics. He was then released this year during the cut of 53 by the Saints, on Sept. 4th. He was not retained on the practice squad. Last I read he had a workout with the Patriots on Sept. 13. Don't know his health status. He's a light OLB at roughly 250 lbs. But if you remember, he tested extremely athleticly, crushing sparq and topping guys like Vic Beasley, Dupree and Diggy. His stock in trade is speed. He played at Tenn-Chattanooga and set the SoCon conference record in career sacks with 37. He had some good clay to work with. Although, when I saw his vertical jump (explosive) and eyeballed his physique, I felt like he probably has had some special protein at some point during his development. His frame size is a detriment. He's only 6'2", with 31 inch arms. What the hell, have him come in for 3rd down and see if he can turn the edge.
