Looks like the Saints just restructured Marcus Davenport's contract to save them just under 7 million on the cap this year. Still nowhere near what they need for DW.

Interesting because it also knocks out what you would assume would be one of their few attractive pieces in a trade.

yet national media thinks Saints... none of this adds up. 

The national media WANTS the Saints.  They are a much bigger product than we ever were. Hell people don't even know what city the Panthers play in or what state Charlotte is even in.  New Orleans, while a "small market" has a fanbase 10x what we have.

Record isn't everything. Personality matters and Rhule is arrogant about his abilities and puts blame on others when it doesn't belong there. That tends not to sit well with people. 

Don’t misconstrue his media appearances with how he’s perceived by players. All his players love him and are very vocal about it.

They keep saying that a decision is likely to come tomorrow - at least thats the prevailing theory now.  And the Houston media and the Charlotte media all believe that Carolina is the leader right now. 

I’m a little behind reading today but do you have any updates from Houston media saying we’re leading? Only thing I’ve seen is national media saying Saints.

Exactly.  Apparently Houston is more than willing to just let Watson sit on the bench for another year and eat his salary.  They're not going to take pennies on the dollar just because he wants to go somewhere like Atlanta.  So, that no trade clause aint all its cracked up to be.  He could say "I will not accept a trade anywhere but Atlanta" and Houston could say "Have fun playing Safety on the Practice Squad for the next 4 years". 

Maybe not pennies on the dollar but probably 75c on the dollar versus sitting him another year in which has value then decreases to that 75c anyways.

      Did we really shut them down though? They had 369 yards of offense.   That is 9 more yards than they average per game and 53 more than we give up per game this year.   If a team gave up 369 yards per game on defense, they'd be the 7th worst defense in the league this year. Yes, I will give our defense credit for having the 4th down stand near our goal line as well as creating the fumble that stopped their first drive, as they did rise to the occasion then, but even the INT was just a ridiculous play/throw and handed it to us and they also missed a FG. We didn't force them into a single punt all game.  We had 1 sack on a QB who had 37 pass attempts. They had drives of 56, 49, 50, 43, 58, and 71 yards (while we only had 2 over 40 yards ourselves). We bent, a lot, but never really broke, partially due to the Packers own mistakes, that's a far cry from "shutting them down" in my opinion.  Again, this is why I'm critical of us after a day like today, I'm able to look beyond a final score and evaluate how we played on the whole, and we keep squeaking out these wins despite not playing well at all.  And yes, that is what great teams do, but they also play well in the majority of their games, where as all we seem to do is squeak out ugly wins without ever playing all that well. I'm not saying I'm unhappy that we won, I've never once said anything like that, but when week after week I see serious concerns with how we played, then I'm going to call out what I see.
