What stands out the most in preseason?

Watching the preseason, I can pretty much say that our rb core is golden. This Goodson fellow has quickly made me like him already. He has that spunk & attitude. When you add him with the other guys, we will be very diverse with what we can do with our rbs. I am pretty much happy with our wr core. Smitty is still Freddy Krueger, so nothing lost there. Moose is the ageless wonder. I am becoming more and more interested in this third option of having Moore as the 3rd wr. I like Jarrett but he is not doing nothing to stand out and make plays.

One thing that stands out is the D. Knowing that we do have a few key injuries on d, what is it that we need to work on the most? Of course, the obvious we need is a DT.I really think we should change our D scheme. New DC but same schemes it seems. Our cb always seem to be out of place and there seems to be no communication with the safeties & cbs. Please tell me we are not still playing that cover 2! We need changed & it needs to be fix now.

What are your thoughts?

I agree. D please learn how to tackle. Also, I was a little worried about Gamble the other night. The ravens were definitely targeting him.[/QUOte/]

I've always been a Gamble Fan/defender but last night he made my job hard. It could've been he was trying too be more aware of the run but dam he had some bad coverage all night.

Listen, Gamble had one bad night but has been a great player for us over the years. Last season teams barely threw to his side at all. Any fan who is freaking out about Chris Gamble because of one preseason game needs to calm the eff down, and maybe go root for the Cowboys instead.

With that said, the run defense was surprisingly good last night against a solid running team. Our pass defense was lacking severely but we were getting little to no pass rush at all; Flacco had forever to throw and was able to find open receivers. Right now the defense just needs some consistency. Once we get Beason, Davis and Godfrey back in the game we'll be ok.

I would say poor play of our secondary and poor tackling. Problems that can be fixed but dont seem to be at the time. I guess our lack of DT help also but we all knew coming into this season that if one of our Olineman or Dlineman went down it was bad news.

If we go 0-4 this preseason practice or not, if I was Jerry Richardson in bad health in all I would go John Fox's office and take my right hand, and grab the center of his polo shirt, and try my best to put the whole shirt inside his mouth. Preseason or not we need to win to go in to the season on a better note. Come on Panthers!!! DAMN

      Panthers get the day off for Victory Monday

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      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.
