The Klein Factor


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

So, "revenge" games are mostly just talk. 

 

But Klein will be the one actually calling out the plays on defense and making the adjustments. He is the QB of their defense. That is a different story when it comes to any help it may give the Saints. 

The Panthers are changing up some of their terminology to counter, but Klein is a pretty smart guy. Not sure how long that will work. 

Will Klein's knowledge of Shula and his system play any role on Sunday?

Never under estimate the incompetence of Mike run up the gut or everybody go deep Shula.  

It appears so far that it's going to be up to our defense to keep the score low enough for us to have a chance to pull these games out.  I'm not confident that Shula can dial it up enough to win a shootout.  NO defense may still be garbage but they will put up some points on offense.

he could tell the saints defenders who will have the ball, where the person is going, and what they like to do when they're about to be tackled, it won't matter. Saints are starting people out of the stands. 

If the Panthers can't get the offense going this week, or if Cam still can't hit anyone, there are some serious questions that will need to be asked.

He'll know what we're doing and be able to predict plays in some situations. He does, however, have to explain it to 10 other Saints players who have to try and execute.

This should be incredibly different than our game against McDermott's Bills. Buffalo has a legitimate defense. New Orleans has a legitimate defender.

That's it right there. Except Cam Jordan is also good. So 2 legit defenders.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
