I don't feel sorry for him, he knew the situation he was stepping into

That is what Carroll did in Seattle to shield Russ from the ire of the defense. It produced some serious issues and till this day Sherman and those guys do not like Russell Wilson.

Yeah, if anyone took the parlays of the individual Saints players against us Sunday they really cleaned up.

He is not the biggest, and he doesn't have the strongest arm, but he's slow.

Well that's unfortunate.

He really looks like he is in Disney movie or a Rookie of the Year type situation out there. When are the angels showing up or the injury that makes him formidable going to happen?

Luvu is a JAG and was on track to be a journeyman special teams player until we had to play him last year. He made some plays, but also struggled at times. Compare him with a TD, Witherspoon, Beason, Luke, or Morgan and you see what I am talking about. We are just used to having no talent lately and so we pine over guys like Luvu when we've seen way better. I will not discount his passion and energy, but he was a part of the meah defense from last year ala one of the best players on a bad team. I am happy he got paid.

Same, only mistake he made to me was he needed to sit down in the zone on the drop so that he could've been able to make the catch while not moving. Also, get those hands up.

Coker was this year's camp hero, Zod/Igo used to have them every year and every year they got cut. This kid runs great routes and has great hands. His father says the plan is for him to be back on the practice squad tomorrow. But it is not going to hurt us or come back to bite us, because in the end he is a slow, UDFA who needs to adjust to the change in talent level. He wouldn't get significant minutes for anyone in the league as is.

I don't think so. Most of that stuff comes as a counter punch. I get what you're saying though. I remember when Joe Brady was here, he would call roll out after roll out and I was like dude there is no counter there. This is predictable as hell and defenses treated it as such.

I did go a bit hard, but think about. What starting free safety can't stop on a dime in the NFL, especially when they haven't made their break on the ball yet? Canales has been stressing for him to take his shots down the field, but a WR running a deep post, and a safety 6/7 yds away already in the area where the throw would go to would make an easy play. That is why he struggled to come up and make the play on Thielen because he looked to be taking away that deep option. My thing was the play design caused him to have to make a decision that was going to give up a completion either way.

Well, I expected some relax, its not that serious posts. First some players bloom later. Look at James Harrison and Cameron Wake. Secondly, did you see the QB room the guy's first few years at SC? Furthermore, I get the drafting negativity as the Rhule/Fitterer years left this team so devoid of talent it was scary. People aren't willing to even give Morgan a shot, much like John Lynch who was a broadcaster before becoming the architect of the San Francisco juggernaut. The guy knows football players, he just has the stink of Fitterer on him. Lastly, you saying my post is identical to Mingo and TMJ is exactly my point. There weren't a bunch of people basically alluding to them as busts after preseason last year or TMJ's rookie year. That is lame to do so after training camp and three preseason games, two of which the guy didn't even play.

Hey sometimes its the KISS formula! Norv Turner once said everyone thinks I'm a genius play caller, but literally it's a hat on a hat and give it Emmitt.

The biggest losers of the new collective bargaining agreement with the new practice schedules were lineman. Two a day practices really helped them with the number of reps and ability to hone their craft. Zavala was so behind physically cause the play he collapsed in Atlanta was so routine that it showed how clearly outmatched he was physically.

Man, he's not going anywhere.

Nah, people are just dumb. They are already labeling Legette a bust or saying he's giving them bust vibes. @PNW_PantherMan, dude we might need to get cooking on those "I was the first to say we were gonna suck" t-shirts!

He had a bunch of yards and hit on some things for the casuals. He threw way behind Legette on a wide open crosser causing the same casuals to dump on Legette. I feel sorry for any WR not named Legette, Thielen, or Johnson that was trying to get evaluated this preseason.

The entire line is going to look better, because they get to be aggressive down hill instead of that zone crap! There seem to be a lot of old school line technique in Canales offense. I have seen double teams, backside help, and old fashioned lead/overload concepts that I haven't seen since 03 Henning years. It really is easier and more suited to help OL excel. Look for a bounce back year from Ickey!

And that's really all you can ask for as a fan. I saw some semblance of competence and that has been missing since 2018-19 save part of the Wilks stretch.

@45catfan, Any safety that is worth a damn would've changed course and fielded that interception like a punt. Respectfully, who gives a damn what you want to see, the correct throw was to Thielen for an easy completion as the film clearly shows. As another poster said, a quicker WR would've easily blasted into the endzone like any decent safety would've picked off any throw attempt to Johnson. This isn't Madden or NCAA. You are just wrong here. No agreeing to disagree. You are wrong, it was a good quick and accurate read. Great play call, great rhythm, great play, great result.

What is this nonsense? People are talking about how behind he is and he is giving them bust vibes. And you wonder why people call us the most miserable fanbase in the league. Kid was basically begging to get some preseason run last week. Quit trying to find a reason to be overtly negative! Preseason means very fooking little to a team's seasonal success! The kid has five years to flame out and assholes commenting because another team had a player look better because he played with a better backup QB know zero about football. I used to wonder why Mr. Scot was so revered on here and now I know it was because he was basically competent in his football knowledge and that was intimidating to a bunch of people who knew jackshite to nothing about the nuances of the game. 1. The kid got a few snaps the entire preseason. 2. Maybe a couple of those were with a competent QB. 3. It is okay if he is coming on, being brought along slowly. He is not going to be our #1 from gate. 4. He was a late bloomer at SC because they didn't have a decent QB until Rattler showed up. 5. Seriously, this negative, knee-jerk, preseason reaction crap is getting old and making the board unbearable!

Steve is a horrible commentator, play by play guy. He is combative about nonsense at one time telling his co-commentator he looked like he ate his own boogers during a telecast. He struggles to make coherent points and his scouting prowess has always been as suspect as his support to every WR we drafted during his tenure. And Mingo is the biggest example of this to date. I hope no one is listening to him within the organization about anything except how to adjust to underthrown passes.

This guy is very solid and played well in Seattle. He played above his head and they are hedging their bets on young guys instead of moving forward with him. We stepped in and cleaned up with the opportunity before anyone else. People who are negative about this are baffling to me.

That's what it is going to take is stable rebuilding. We are devoid of talent due to mismanagement and terrible drafting. Our division is trash and we can build toward competency over the next few years starting with our defense like we did in 02. The QBs are even wearing the same number 9.

He definitely felt that way! I for sure would've listened to the guy who used his brain and work ethic to become a top tier WR, has his own training facility, played with several HOF receivers, and someone you supposedly trusted to coach the players you drafted ! It always kills me because we would have had the offense to combat that all time defense in the championship. And our window wouldn't have slammed shut like it did!
