Opportunity for our coaches now ~

Quite a few areas exposed tonight.  Now it is up to our coaches to create some solutions.  Quick things I saw during the game:

 

1.  Olsen can't break a tackle after the catch.

2.  Saints still dirty...they all but raped Smitty every catch.

3.  Not one sack.  Our whole game (to me) rested on pressuring Brees.

4.  Overshooting / not keeping tackle lanes.

            - We KNOW they are going to screen / flip passes...should have known anyway.

5.  Cam not running enough.  

            - I saw one designed run and it was poo.

6.  Dwill & Jstew?  Sorry...i've been fans all year and they are on my fantasy team but they cant get it done.

 

The sky isn't falling, and if I remember back before season started not many here predicted a 10-6 season.  No matter what happens our team did better then most everyone thought they would.

 

Oline has to improve.  

DB have to improve...get taller or faster or something.

Playcalling this game didnt seem to put us in a position to win.  I agree with the field goals early - that wasnt the place to go for TD imo....sure, in hindsight - but no, not then.

 

Most dissapointed in our Defense.  Not enough pressure, and worse?  I kept waiting and waiting for an interception or fumble...nothing.

 

We are still good...and one thing for certain I wouldnt want to be the Jets next week.

Our coaches on all phases looked like they not only didn't prepare for the game, but looked like they had no idea what the Saints do.

 

if you went back and asked Rivera who the Saints are I'm pretty sure he'd say he didn't even realize they were a divisional opponent...that's how dumbfounded the whole thing looked.

 

Defense acted like it didn't know the Saints throw screens and quick passes. Zone vs that team is just stupid...Brees will take the free 6-10 yards every time then score vs zone.

 

Offense acted like they didn't know Fatman likes to blitz.... a lot...and give up short easy passes and rally to the ball....how many 3 yards or shorter passes did we have?  Just dumb

 

Lets throw another telegraphed smoke screen to a slow/old WR please...this time the Saints DB might actually catch the pick and go for 6 the other way.

 

Also...Olsen looks like he  has never broken a tackle in his life.....

go ahead and explain his role with the team, articulate the interdynamics of the team and his specific part in it, and then relate that to what happened on the field tonight. be very specific.

Paraphrasing from what McGinest said last night:

Zone

No jam

Too much zone, too much valleys for Breees to make plays

There!

you didn't do anything i said and then said "there!" like you did

 

could it be you don't know what you're talking about and you just randomly picked a defensive name with which to assuage your misdirected, toddler-like anger!

    • Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts
    • From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
