Can someone please tell me why we run the following plays on third down?

A. Draw play

B. Pass to fullback in the flat

C. Tight End 4 yards short of the first

D. Quick out to Smitty or whomever. Today Mo

I have been with these guys forever and still dont understand Fox's fear of taking a chance. I knew the Saints were still in this on as Im sure every long time fan did. Fox here is a clue. Its OK to beat a team without going to the last play, especially when you are dominating.

Jake also threw into double coverage alot but thank god we have Smitty. DWill, those stats equal MVP. Great year everyone. Looking forward to the playoffs.

Yeah im very very comfortable with D-Will now. Every time it goes to him, there's a chance it could go to the house. That one running play by D-Will right before the FG really showed his determination, he just kept going going and pushing fighting for extra yardage. Even my Cowboy fan friend was like damn, doe he ever give up? hes a beast.

I commented to my husband at one point that he reminded me of Fred Lane - the way he kept going and going and pushing and pushing.

That quick out to Moose today on 3rd & 12 had me pulling my hair out. I figure we should be used to it by now but it just screamed "Typical Conservative Fox Play".

And you'd be the first one in here to call for coach firings if we took a chance resulting in an interception instead of the set-up to a field goal...

Why is it that Brees can throw it up into double coverage and it's considered to be 100% skill, but when Delhomme does it, it's always pure luck, even though Smitty has proven over and over that he's one of the best WR's that has ever played this game when the ball is in the air and that he and Delhomme are almost always on the same page?

I'm not against making an effort for more yardage, but it just seems like those plays never really net much with Smith, let alone Moose. Plus, those types of plays are the riskiest for interceptions that end up being pick sixes.

I'm just saying, if we want some small yardage, use the run. We've got the best combo in the league for gaining a few yards. And I'll have you know that I've never called for a coach firing. Identifying a play as a Conservative Fox Play doesn't make me a pissed off fan chomping at the bit. Relax.

Any offensive coordinator is going to call those types of plays if they're any good at what they do. On a 3rd and 12 for instance, you cannot run a 12 yard route and expect it not to be covered. You either have to run a very risky 15+ yard play or play underneath and let someone make a move.

I didn't understand that going to Moose either....he doesn't have the moves or speed to make something out of that.

.... yeah, delhomme getting squirrely with the ball, fox knows that sh!t...think thats why he tries to get conservative early on a lead. I pray we get some new plays prior to the playoffs, something we havent seen and that we can use when we need some yardage in a pinch. something unpredictable but safe.

A lot of people will never appreciate Jake. Thats ok at least the coaching staff and some of us do.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
