Addition by Subtraction - Dwill

Recommended Posts

Deangelo's injury was unfortunate for him but for the team, the running game, and the offensive playcalling it was a blessing in disguise. It allows our team to get into a rhythm with a back that goes for positive yardage most times he touches the ball. This also opens up Cam Newton to be more opportunistic on the ground. was also key. 

 

I hope he is a healthy scratch the rest of the year because we are a better team without him and  I do not want Ron to f'this up and ruin what we've got going here.

I've been pretty much done with D-Will since 2012, but I knew he wasn't going anywhere so I just accepted the fact that he was still on the team.  He's just seemed complacent as fug the last few years, and sorry, I haven't gotten the feeling that Deangelo has given it his all on the field in a LONG time.  Been waiting on Stew to come back this whole time (and I was having doubts about him as well) because it's been evident since the ass end of 2011 (at the earliest) that Stew was our best back.

 

I used to like him as a person, but now that seems like a farce.

    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
