Should he be restructured or be released after this year? I would have thrown traded into that scenario but no one will take on his salary. We obviously do not utilize him....sucks on both sides. He isn't given every opportunity to prove himself and we he is given opportunities he looks pedestrian.

i still can't believe we re-signed him to the contract he got...way to go marty...we keep our core even when it makes no sense

i partly blame rivera too...he knew what we were gonna do on offense and he should have made it clear to marty that deangelo would be under-utilized in this offense...could have saved us some money

They must have thought Williams would average 10 yards per carry with his 8 touches a game. At times during the Fox era, I thought they mismanaged splitting carries between D-Will and J-Stew. Yet this coaching staff takes the cake in mismanaging these two backs.

I think we did overpay but the bottom line is our OL has fell short in run blocking.If we want to run we better get our OL sured up.We have really screwed up betting on Otahs health improving year after year.It is time to bite the bullet and get a tackle who can get it done.

I don't get why they keep running DeAngelo right up the gut. He's never been a smash mouth back like Stewart. Williams' bread and butter is finding an angle off the corners, or a lane to dart through, cutting and weaving to pick up yards. This season all they seem to call for him are plays where he's butting heads with a 300lb. nose tackle while a linebacker comes flying in over the top to stop him cold.

Stew looks worlds better. I cant even understand why they dont use d- low in the passing game.we need to get him to the edge more often to. To much raming him up into a hole that just isn't there. He's at his best when he gets up 2 speed. I even like to see more of that nifty pistol set we were using. Hell they were running cam on naked running plays anyway, why not give him the option? I havent seen that formation where he and stew were on the field at the same time in i while. It was giving teams fits and they just stoped using it?

Deangelo just.....sucks. He doesn't even cutback like he used to, nor can he pick up a blitz and even if he does he can't block.

I'm torn... he hasn't looked like himself this year no. Last year, it took him until the middle of the season to get going good too though... my fear is that if we get rid of him, and we have another injury plagued year at RB, then what do we do?

From what it looks like our offense wouldn't miss a beat.

I think many for get Rivera's early presser where he stated this would be a Cam based developmental year. I remember him saying without OTA's and training camp we had to get Cam reps, and as things stand I believe that is why our rushing game has suffered as a whole. Williams and Stew have both had moments, and are averaging decent ypc.

I just think that our focus is on the passing game and getting it installed more and more each week. I'd be willing to bet we'll be quite surprised with next seasons running game. Though when we do run, I would like to see us try to hit the edge a bit more.

Stewart still looks noticeably better on the year......so OL can only get so much blame.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
