I don’t mind Dom as much, don’t see what he could be hurting. And on the flip side I don’t know what Caldwell could be helping. I always associated him with the pro Bryce cabal though, rightly or wrongly. Long as they aren’t hurting things I guess it doesn’t matter.

this seems logical, I just know the media is pushing dan to make a "splash" this offseason, basically going all in on 26. For the most part Dan has pushed back (listen to his presser and interviews on fnz) so thats good he wants to build and not shoot for the moon next year.

I think Dave is horrific in big moments. But you can't excuse Bryce from that final drive. And I mean, Bryce played a great game for Bryce. I'm not trying to overly bash him. He gave us way more than he generally does. But if we are talking any other QB in final drive scenario......not moving the ball one inch w/ 4 downs is going to be a QB convo to some extent.

He's not gonna work out. Every team has the same flaws. Inconsistent shooting, bad shot selection, no defense. When the Same issues keep popping up year after year as the players change it's clear where the issue lies. Without that fluke hot streak resulting in a run to the championship game in his first season he's honestly probably already gotten himself fired.

Well Tepper probably liked Frank more because he liked the 3-4. Because we had been running it. So I don’t know what that tells me about who hired Evero. You might be right and Frank wanted him. Or he could have been just another Tepper/Fitterer idea. There were a few of them in 2023. I thought. Then, Evero was put on Canales or retained independently, however you want to see it. Did not leave with Frank, when most of Frank’s people were out of here. I certainly don’t know it’s just what I thought was going on.

I'm just as tired as watching Bryce as anyone. But that loss is more on Dave than anyone.

Given it's rookie Jimmy Horn Jr who probably caught 4 balls all season downfield....throwing it down and behind him probably does matter. It's the whole Bryce conundrum. His role is to lift boats. Instead it's the rookie who doesn't really get passes needed to make all the adjustments.

the real sin here is..... game on the line. 4 downs. We didn't get one ball to the hands of Tmac or Coker. That's a choice. final play and we are going to Jimmy Horn Jr? Losing is fine. Not catching the ball is fine. Going to down swinging and not taking a swing w/ the dudes he got you there is the sin. And it's a choice made. I could live w/ 89 not catching a ball in double coverage to win the game. You got to go to the dudes that matter in the big moments. I put that sad final drive on both Dave and Bryce

Because he is a massive challenge and he improved. Such as it was. If you can help him, it stands to reason you could take on lesser challenges.

I don't think Frank put together the all star staff. I think that was a Tepper thought process. I also think Canales only has offensive input. I think Evero and that side of the ball was forced upon him. lastly, I think the sooner we get rid of Jim Caldwell and Capers the better.

Can extend Lewis and make that cap hit go down a good bit. Need to look at restructuring some of Brown, Horn, Moehrig, maybe Hunt.

Our number for 2026 is 40,000,000. The 2025 is for this league year which we are carrying over. Yeah. There are a lot of ways to double that. Go to sport trac or over the cap and mess it with. Can restructure a few of our higher contracts into void years and convert to bonuses. Can also do the same when signing guys. Give them a bonus up front and spread it out. Trust me the Saints go into every season at like -80 million. I predict we will be in the 80-90 million range when Dan/Brandt are done.

Exactly. I would take Hamilton over..... none of these 6.

I hope he’s ready to watch some film with Dave and Brad

I think the basically entire improvement as a team was largely just the difference Brown and Jackson made. O pretty much was about the same. D made a huge jump off the work of 2 players.

I always assumed the 3-4 was Reich’s call because that’s what he ran in Indy and if I remember right, I don’t think we interviewed a DC from a 4-3 scheme

I guess my memory is worse than I thought. Besides being old with a declining short term memory, I have been focusing on offense when I hunt down the videos and review. Seeing that as the critical unit right now. I am a bigger fan of defense, but haven’t really been in critique mode for them in the Bryce era. And the missed tackles, I wasn’t referring to them. Just blown coverages, which I thought happened more in the early part of the year. With a poo memory maybe I missed that.

How can any team look at BY and think our assistant QB coach could solve their problems

Or in the Saint's case (when they had Brees) - Dead cap and cap space don't exist...

“If your not confused you don’t understand the situation”

Honestly don't think it could have been much better now that I look at it. Receiver had time to gather himself and decide how he wanted to catch it, and then proceeded to let it go through his hands. He could have come back to it, he could have slid and bodied it, he could have caught it with fingers pointed down, so many options. I mean the QB could have put it out in front of him and maybe he would have had to speed up, reach out away from his body, dive, or jump for it. None of that. Just slow down and catch the ball.

The more I look at this EDGE class and the possibility that Sonny Styles may be gone before our pick, the more I'm liking the idea of drafting Kadyn Proctor at #19. Even if Ickey comes back good to go we'll soon have a need at RT as well.

I'm so Confused.

A few players on the team are limbo like KK. the core guys love him and I’m sure that is hanging over their heads. The blue line is mess with Slavin going in and out. The goalie situation sucks and over time, even great leaders and coaches voice runs its course. I fear the later is starting to happen.

Who would he replace? Out of Slavin, Miller, Walker, Boom, Ghost, or Chatty?
