Will it get to the UK in time?!? You'd think that would be the case. Seems obvious, right? Not to the previous regime! Last year Dalvin came back from his injury and ran the ball 29 times against Carolina. I hope the new regime doesn't make the same mistake, especially because we don't have a bye like we did after Dalvin's one game return.

No reason to force a heavy workload on Cook. Frankly with the depth at RB, a long travel week and it’s only week 4; why not just sit him? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Maybe Ty Chandler is active this week? I loved what we saw in pre season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb_K Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Using mostly Mattison and Chandler would be fine, with a smattering of special gadget plays for Ngwongwu. No sense in risking making Cook's healing take longer by having defenders beat on him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 The Saints are headed to London for a matchup against the Vikings that could have playoff implications down the line. Should Jameis Winston be the quarterback for that game? Winston has not looked like the same player since Week 1, after which he began showing up on the injury report with a back injury. The veteran threw two more interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Panthers, and he made other throws into traffic that had favorable (read: lucky) outcomes. Andy Dalton remains one of the better backup quarterbacks in the league -- it's fair to wonder if we could see him relieve Winston on Sunday if the offense remains rudderless. https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-4-2022-nfl-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 recap of the season so far from a Saints fan: Game 1 our OL sucked for a half then we got it together. Game 2 we were making it a defensive game since the Bucs D is good and Winston had 4 fractures in his back then the Refs walked Brady down the field for a TD and the offense imploded giving up a bunch of turnovers. Game 3... our defense made some early mistakes and it was a struggle with Winston having 4 fractures in his back. Also lots of interceptions/fumbles have been happening. Oh and our OL has been shaky at times outside of the 1st game as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Did Wyatt Davis play for the Saints last week? Might this week against the Vikings, looks like Saints have 3 OL that are out Penning the RT, Lamp the backup OG, Peat the starting OG and Greenidge the backup OG. Will see what Justin Jefferson does, he has got dominated the last two weeks honestly. Slay took him out of the game and the Lions really took him out of the game. Lattimore is another standout corner and sure they will double Jefferson which the Eagles started and the Lions copied and everyone will from here on out. Fact is if he cannot get by and get open in double coverage, maybe he is not that good. He needs to be more tough physically and honestly who cares about the stupid dancing in the end zone, make plays and be tough and competitive. If he is this great receiver, then be great and win the team games otherwise he is just overrated. Last two games for him has been rough and Lattimore is arguably better than any of the CBs on the Lions or Eagles. Saints also have Mathieu at safety, Roby at corner and Adebo and PJ Williams so they are super talented in the secondary. Jefferson needs to be able to take contact and fight through it, and if he is being doubled draw that coverage and open something up for another receiver. Dude was a ghost against the Lions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 is Justin Jefferson over rated, or an over rated crybaby? i mean, one's worse than the other, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluther Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 We should always consider getting Thielen involved as a substantial part of any game plan (shocking we should get the number two involved). Forcing the ball wasn’t supposed to be an issue with this Rams-derivative offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess drawing triple coverage and leaving Thielen wide open leading to points isn't good enough? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
