Football Gameplan's 2014 Wk 9 Preview - Panthers vs Saints

This Saints team is nowhere near as good as years past, but I still think they'll defeat us. We have too many players who don't even belong in the NFL. Our secondary is so lousy that I actually think Brees will throw to Graham even when we have him bracketed. And he should. We have a slow, weak, confused secondary, so it's hard to beat anyone. Our DBs make a lot of mistakes, are easy to block, don't tackle well, and are the slowest in the NFL. Find Harper? I wish it was just Harper, yes he's unbelievably terrible, but the scrubs around him can be picked on as well.

Thanks Gang! Looking at your DTs vs the Saints G-C-G…I think that's a big time matchup that you can win. Evans is overrated and Grubbs isn't what he used to be (quietly)

I think I'm most looking forward to the Devante Parker/ PJ Williams matchup tonight.

But other than the matchup you just said, I think the Saints offense as a whole is a matchup nightmare for us. Stills (although unreliable like you said) combined with Cooks both have speed we can't match. Josh Norman stayed with Paul Richardson downfield Sunday which was impressive.

Cam is always our X-Factor on offense, im Interested to hear some of your thoughts on how Shula is limiting Cam's game.

    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen. 
    • Totally agree with you, if we had invested in drafting a corner or two I wouldn’t even ponder adding Ramsey. But, to be honest we legit added nobody to our corner room this offseason we have nobody worth developing. Even if Chau Smith Wade is better then what I think, he is the only guy we have invested draft capital into outside of our starters.
    • Look at his snap counts, your telling me that his entire college and pro football career every coach he has had has misused him? No offense but I don’t think you understand the role of a slot corner. Mike Jackson is the literal definition of an outside zone corner, he would be totally inept as a slot corner. Ala why he has been an outside corner his entire career.
