Brees planning to return this week

I doubt he or Kamara plays. They’re playing the lowly Cardinals and have a bye coming up. No reason to rush them for an easily winnable game without them.

I actually think the Saints are on upset alert this week. The Bears and Jaguars offense are not much to write home about.

This Cardinals team reminds me of the 2011 Panthers, a terrible defense but a young dynamic duel threat Qb leading a fun explosive offense.

They mat not win, but they should test this Saints defense more than they have been the last few weeks.

Thank god. I stick by my earlier opinion. Would rather face Brees than Bridgewater. Go look at last year’s game when we played them at home and we shut down their offense with a D that was way less stacked than this year’s D. If Rivera has the players and the defense, he has proven he can stop Brees

I agree, I don’t think it’s a guaranteed win, especially in the every given Sunday NFL (i.e. Jets beating Cowboys), but I don’t think it matters much for this game whether it’s a rushed back Brees or Teddy, and they can get by with Murray and no Kamara. I think AZ could pull an upset regardless of who plays but it’s equally unlikely so they should probably play it safe with their injured stars.

Possible Teddy goes to the bench this weekhttps://apple.news/AmaCGnGE-QMSjofYcgXOUqQ

Here comes the qb who went 24-8 in the regular season and 2-2 in the postseason being compared to the one who went 17-14 and 0-1 in the playoffs losing to the first 4 times in that span... 1 injury vs lingering issues since 2016= same situation.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
