Kyle Allen starting against Tennessee


Carl Spackler

Recommended Posts

This is just stupid. No, not Kyle Allen starting, but announcing it this far in advance. Why? It flies in the face of competitive advantage. The Saints did the right thing this past week. They waited until the last possible moment to announce their starting QB. Why? Because it forces your opponent to hedge their bets. If you don't know which QB is playing you have to either guess and go all in on one guy or half ass prepare for both.

Rivera: "Dennis Daley is our best option at left tackle."

Gotta wonder if we're just shelving Little for the year.

I'm fine with doing whatever is best for the young man but it speaks volumes that he doesn't even seem to be in the plans right now.

I said the same thing in another thread.

Ron Rivera is so stupid it hurts sometimes.

It is concerning for sure.  I hate it for Little personally and also for the team b/c he seemed to be doing quite well, especially in pass protection, which has been extremely problematic to say the least.

They need to do what's best for Little.  I do hope he is able to come back at least by next year.  I am hopeful him and Daley can provide a long-term future on the left side

Yeah, it would be nice if Little and Daley could lockdown the left side of the OL for the future. 

I'd still be fine with spending a fairly high pick on an interior OL even if that was the case. Sorry, but Trai and Paradis are overpaid JAGs at this point.

I'm just hoping the team isn't looking past the Titans with the Packer game looming in 2 weeks. 

We're actually undefeated vs AFC opponents thus far in 2019. We just keep losing pivotal games against NFC opponents which will completely unhinge our ability to contend for a wild card playoff spot.

Little things like that is why we need a new coach. I'm so fuggin jealous that the Packers got (who I wanted had Rivera been fired) themselves a good young offensive head coach in LaFleur and got rid of McCarthy (aka Rivera) and are rolling right now. WE could be that team right now. Instead, we're stuck with this.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
