Saints fans Give Our Backs some love.

I was perusing on enemy forums and came across this little tid bit.

It's Saint's fans opinions on Pat Yasinkas' report on the "Best Backs in the South."

I remember most people being confused seeing that Turner was number one, with some feeling that Patty Y. did it just to be "fair."

Anyways, I was suprised at all the love D'lo and Stewy got from the Saint's fans, and thought I'd share.

And for those of you who don't find that interesting, here's a picture of an adorable bunny.

Oh, by Panther logic Pierre Thomas is better than D-Will.

you know, your obsession with YPC

Thomas is a good back for the Saints. He benefits from playing for a team that is feared for the pass meaning that he rarely has more than 7 in the box and most times at least 1 of the seven is a safety instead of the usual 4 linemen and 3 linebackers. He is not a strong runner or that elusive. Most times he gets 3 or 4 yards before any contact.

On the opposite end, Williams and Stewart are both hampered by the fact that they routinely face 8 or 9 guys in the box. Plus Davidson has very unimaginative play calling. Honestly if Williams or Stewart played for Payton they would average 6 or 7 yards a carry.

And would have much less yards and much less carries..

The Saint's are a passing offense, and I don't think they feel the need to stack up on great RBs, as you said, Pierre fits them.

My point is-is that D'lo and Stewy are much better off here than they are there.

Running the ball straight at a team may be conventional, but it isn't "unimaginative" by any stretch.

heh. one of them claimed that they have been hearing the media praise our running backs for get this, 5 years now... go figure. didnt we just draft deangelo in 05?? and he was a backup for a few years. then he went on to say that deangelo would be a great back if he didnt have a knee injury every year. and that reggie bush is not a bust.

    • The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't. 
    • I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong. 
    • david newton still doesn't have a clue. how long has he been doing this?
