The Receivers Appear Lost

As I said, if you have slow receivers who cant get separation, the LAST thing we need is to have them in a position where 2 can be covered by a single DB.

I  honestly think Thielen is the only one the understands the route combination concepts. Everyone else is just running to a spot.

I'd add Hurst in there, but its absolutely true.  Maybe they need to simplify a bit.  Makes me think of last year when our Line play was meh to start with, Wilks simplified the blocking scheme and it allowed them to compete without thinking.  The line became more reactionary instead of overthinking.

He needs to run a Shanahan type passing game. We don't have the backs for the running game, but could definitely pull off their passing game with Laviska, Chark, Thielen and Sanders out of the backfield - no he's not CMC, and no Laviska ain't Deebo but they could pull off similar concepts. Stop asking guys to do what they can't or aren't ready to do yet.

Bryce goto in preseason was Hurst and chalk so the saints shut them down
