Think Peanut is coming back now?

We have two young corners that need grooming, and we're not done yet.  He hasn't retired, and while he's in rehab he's pretty much said that it's "nothing" and given signs he may come back for another year.  

Do you think it's in the cards?

As an assistant/intern coach or otherwise not part of the 53...I'd go for it.

"Grooming" from a player is like combing your hair with other hair. At some point a comb ( or bush for you with more hair) is needed. If Peanut has something he wants to give, I'd rather it come from him on the sidelines. Heavens knows those boys will need all the reps they can handle.

I don't know...last year we went into the season with only 4 corners, and one of them was almost exclusively a special teamer (Teddy Williams). Of course it's feasible we keep more this time, and by season's end we had 5 on the roster; but you've gotta think our 2 (thus far)  rookies, Bene, and Boykin are pretty much guaranteed spots. Tillman is still better than any of McClain, Young, or Williams; just not sure if we'll bring him back instead of giving time to the new guys.

With drafting two corners. probably not, sad to say.  I think we could really use his leadership in that room and being a mentor to these rookies, but maybe there's some other way to make that happen - hiring him as a coach...

Can someone clarify for me, if Peanut WERE to come back and be on the PUP, could he practice with the team?  I'm thinking not, which means that even though he'd not be taking up a roster spot on the PUP, he wouldn't be able to be on the field with the kids, thus defeating the purpose...

He can attend practices and do training stuff, just not take part in drills.

I don't think so. Peanut ran out of gas mid season last year even before his injury. 

I think he would be a great mentor for these young guys.  But it will be hard to fit him on the 53 man roster given how he wore down so quickly last year.  

I am confident that Wilkes can mold these young guys.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
