Hilarious. He was terrible for them at the end, came here and resurrected his career behind our elite front seven and somehow N.O. thinks he's turned back the clock?  LOL! 

That's the way it goes.

I like Harper here.  He was a good mentor, but we all saw he had some limitations.  It really helps when you have that front seven in front of you.  NO does not have our front seven.  They might be better than they were, but they aren't as good as us.

Good for Roman Harper. I hated him as a Saint, hated him through most of his first season here, then he adjusted and he became a very key guy for us. We obviously didn't want to resign him, so his probable only option other than retiring was playing for the Saints again. Can't begrudge a guy that. I have a feeling he'll be about as effective for the Saints as Charles Godfrey was for the Falcons though.

Uncle Rome was a big asset to our guys, seemed to add a lot to the team.  Glad he could have a good two years with us.  Will be interesting to see how he does with the Saints.  I wonder how bad the culture shock will be for him going from the 3 time division winner to a team that's struggling, especially on D.

I hated Harper when he came here, but I didn't know anything other than he was with the Saints.  He turned out to be an awesome guy.  Talked to him for a few minutes during his first TC with us, and I immediately changed my opinion of him.  What he did for the team, and the young guys truly was priceless, if you think about it.  Of course he's older, and slower, but I'm not sure that back end would have been half as successful without him.  He made sure those young guys were where they needed to be, and I don't recall a time he was out of position.  He would just get beat sometimes, due to the age factor.  He also made for great interviews.  All around great guy, and I will miss him.

      Canalas’ play calling next week

      Who believes after Rico went off that Dave will go back to Chuba, go very pass happy again, run Chuba 7 times, and give Rico 5 carries?   he has a weird obsession with wanting to pass it over and over with Bryce.

      I never once said I believed in Sam. Only that he’s proof that the Jets and Panthers are bad organizations. You spent all that time on me. I’m flattered.

      Story of the year. Get down massively to Arizona, look like your first NFL game to throwing for more than 300 yards and getting the team to within 40 yards of a come back win. Get down 17-0 to Miami, execute the offense to outscore the Dolphins 27-7 the rest of the way. Defeat the Falcons 30-0 throwing for like 150 yards. Personally, I think it would be great to have retained Darnold. Darnold in this scheme with Canales would instantly make this team a contender for the NFC South. However that didn't happen.  I don't know what you do because when they run game gets shut down, and it will get shut down, you have to depend on Bryce to play efficiently. On one third down ball to someone (I forget who), when he was rolling out and made that throw close to the sideline to convert, the TV people would talking about how special that was. What I saw was another receiver streaking all alone 45 yards downfield, with about 5 yards of separation. Even while rolling out, an average QB is able to deliver that ball, signed, and sealed for a touchdown. Bryce's lack of deep ball ability is the achilles heel to this offense and it's something that can't be fixed.  I would love to be able to draft Carson Beck. I think he took a lot of crap at UGA which now seems unwarranted. Looking at how inefficient their offense is now compared to how it was with Beck at QB, and now how he has gone into the system Cam Ward was in and outperformed him massively in just pure execution and efficiency, along with the physical traits, tells me he will be a Top 3 pick. We won't have a Top 3 pick though. So what do we do? I have no idea. Canales is too good of an offensive coach for us to get a Top 3 pick and Bryce is inconsistent enough to get us a Top 10 pick. So absent finding a guy like Nix with tons of experience and good enough measurables, which requires great evaluations, I just think we are stuck.
