Did Fox intentionally hold Moore back ?

I mentionaed this briefly in another thread but all I keep hearing Brian Billick say when announcing is hey-in this game you see what you really got with this kid Moore.....see what he can do, see how he handles certain situations. So what does Fox do run...run...run all 3rd and 4th quarter, I mean the frigging wild cat with Brad Hoover....WTF?

Was Fox afraid the better Moore showed out the stupider he looked for not making the switch sooner?

How funny,,,, i just started a thread about the same thing. That pissed me off so much, the play calling in the 3rd and 4th qtr.

Foxy didn't want to run up the score against his pal, Payton, nor put his players in jeopardy by having to run all over the field. Sucks, but it's the truth.

Don't really give a sh1t about Sean Payton..............he's on his way to the playoffs with a franchise Qb.

We need to know who our franchise Qb is?

Can't find out running Brad Hoover.

So use Charley Martin, Kenneth Moore, D Jarret and see what they and Matt Moore have. Also, who is our TE keepers? Is it Rosario? Barnridge? These are things we could have gotten some insight into in real game time situation instead of preseason.

Yeah, they just weren't running up the score. A lower draft position for the Panthers also benefits the Saints, indirectly.

When u are up... run the ball... run time off the clock.. and let ur d continue to stop them = win the game in Fox's system. That's what he did. Moore did exactly what Fox wants out of a QB... managed the game and didnt turn it over.

Seriously... we have been doing this for 8 years. It was just more of the same not a conspiracy to "hold Moore back."

I am not in the camp of Fox "holding Moore back"; I just think running on every single play for 2 Qtrs in a game when you should be seeing what you have at QB and WR is kind of ridiculus.

    • 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.
