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.

    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
    • I dont recall that happening to a qb but my memory has been crap the past few years
