I remember how the aints hyped that dude up like he was the next Luke lmaoooooo bust bust bust saints 4 life 

I think there was some excitement, because of his athletic ability, but nobody ever compared him to Luke. He got some praise his rookie year for a bunch of tackles but I thought he was pretty terrible. Wanted Kendricks to begin with.

Not dumping off. He's buried on the depth chart and has been a huge bust. 

Trading him is the good news. The bad news was overdrafting to begin with. Should have had Kendricks. Anthony just isn't smart, no matter how athletic he may be.

Seemed like he was at least decent his first year. Over 110 tackles and was named to the all-rookie team. Then he was moved to outside linebacker, a position he had never played before, and it didn't work.

Seems like a bad personnel move on your team's part more than a bad draft pick.

A bunch of tackles on a terrible defense. He struggled with his pre-snap reads and getting the defense aligned properly. Moving him to the outside allowed him to bypass all of that. I'm not entirely sure what went wrong, but he really, really struggled in zone coverage his rookie year, which is why they didn't play him at weakside.

      I love  almost everything  we did in the offseason but we still have Bryce.  They have to be favored.     Sorry I just can’t see him as an asset yet.  His first chance to prove me wrong.    And WIliams was a LOT better last year than 2024.  He will probably still be getting better before he hits his plateau.

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Outside of both having very good straight line speed, I don't see much in common. Chark was mostly a play action Chuck it deep type of receiver. Brazzell, while raw with route running, is fully capable of running most routes. He is way better at using his body to shield defenders from the ball than chark and does a better job attacking the ball and creating a wide catch radius. Agree Brazzell will need to prove he can beat the press and I imagine he will see a lot of it when he is on the field. I still think he has quite a bit of development to go through (particularly with his route running, press beat techniques, and reading zone coverage), so I don't expect to see him on the field much this year (barring injuries)
