Mr. Scot

How do you know he's not wearing a kilt? How do you know I'm not?

I know it's a big part of what the Saints have been doing since Payton got there. As much as anything, it's just nice to see something different than those old Shula route combos that too frequently had two players running to the same spot.

I think there may be some requirement that he has to do things to live up to a screen name.

Sorry, no. And FYI, "the other guy" is a bot.

I actually made mine first.

I remember when Fozzy Whitaker was our primary backup. Guess you could say we've gone from Waka Waka to Hubba Bubba.

You shouldn't. Jones was a great special teamer but a terrible safety.

Now the team just has to do this ten more times

Sometimes when a team announces they're going to cut somebody, they're fishing for a trade. Of course, if teams know you're just going to release them anyway, there's not necessarily as much incentive.

To be fair, he's also an NFL sized monster himself.

I think he's the second draft pick to sign across the league. Somebody else signed the first one yesterday but I forget who.

Chuba Hubbard, per Gantt.

Colin Jones hasn't been a Panther since 2019.

McKay had some of the greatest quotes when he was coaching the Buccaneers

You can throw in that the Saints fans really wanted him as well. First off because he's good but also because they loved the idea of having Joe Horn's son. So there's that too...

Happy to help. I was thinking the same thing when I saw it, though I can't claim to have watched enough of the Dolphins to say anything authoritative about him.

Kinda like you.

At least our scouts don't have to deal with the bullsh-t the ones in Philadelphia and Washington do where they work their asses off all year just to watch the owner come in and make the pick himself. Mentioned it in another thread, but last year the Eagles scouts had a player teed up for their second round pick when Howie Roseman (likely at the request of Jeffrey Lurie) went off script and took Jalen Hurts instead. The player that was next up on the scouts draft board? Jeremy Chinn.

Hey now

Good post. I'd add that Brady likes to scheme pass route combinations that create natural picks (a tendency he likely picked up from Sean Payton).

We've got answers. He needs a break and he wants to spend time with his family.

We kept an OC in place for years because Jerry Richardson loved the name "Shula". From what I've heard though (which, granted, isn't much) Beathard was good at his job.

Some my old teammates used to have accents too. (I grew up in West Virginia)

Pretty much. I can see where people might get the idea that Tepper would dictate stuff, but that's turned out to be a false narrative. And again, that's a good thing.
