Okudah??

It’s not so much a problem with Okudah the player I have but more of a problem with taking a cornerback at 7 given how the NFL is so offense driven. Okudah would also be up against guys like Evans, Jones and Thomas and I don’t think he or many people stand much of a chance. So again for us to use that 7th overall pick on a cornerback from a production stand point for us, I just don’t think it’s the best move. There’d be more value imo if we just signed Xavier Rhodes to line up against those guys and used that pick on a different position. We inject one of the top WR’s into the offense on top of what we have and that’s one hell of a unit.

As far as Simmons goes with my logic above, he is more of a playmaker (like Tyrann Mathieu) and those are what you need in today’s game.

His arm is huge, but his mechanics are bad. 

We've been looking at that combination for 9 years.

Those bad (inconsistent) mechanics and the pressure of the nfl are not a good combo.

Cam seemed to make it work for him a couple of his seasons.

Simmons or Brown would be a great pick but I totally disagree with Okudah. He is by far the most talented Cb in the draft and it’s not even close. Rhodes would be welcomed as we literally have no one other than Jackson, but he is declining and would be a one year rental. The league has become a passing league which is why it is important to take talent at CB, and someone like Okudah could compete with the amazing WR we have in the south. Over time he could be much better than Bradberry or Norman.

Cam made up for it with his size and running ability.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
