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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
