Just sitting here watching Fua and McClain get abused.

Just sitting here watching Fua and McClain getting abused on NFL replay... we really need to consider making a move before the trade deadline. I'm not saying these guys won't develop into good players, but it's clear they're not ready.

I'm not even talking about finding a DT that can get penetration, I just want to find someone that can hold their ground - that would be an upgrade.

Wont happen. Development year

yep. Rivera is pretty much doing the same thing w/ them he is w/ Cam. Put a HUGE load on them and hope they grow up quick.

This season isn't about wins and losses.....just b/c Cam is surprising people doesn't mean what this season really is about changes.

Yeah, CatMan I've noticed it too, moreso Fua than McClain though. I've noticed we keep rotating Hardy and Johnson inside, whom are both great bullrushers and letting our deeper DE rotation get on the field-hate being forced to do that.

In fairness, New Orlean's interior OL is very good. Ron Fields has played well enough-he needs more time on the field.

Do fans get a refund for a throwaway season?

but is it really a throwaway season?

If this season helps guys get better quicker....is it really a waste? I mean, Cam's usage is a perfect example....probably could of squeaked out another win if we took some pressure of him in some key spots in the redzone, 3rd and 2nd situations, etc.....

Would you rather have that extra win or put it on a rookie to help him rapidly develop so that this team can get better quicker?

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
