Saints had sets of large speakers behind both benches facing the field. This is the first time they have done this. Some may call that cheating when trying to set a noise record.

That classy organization has given me nothing to suspect them of that kind of behavior. 

 

Now if you told me it was the Saints....  Wait, what?

LOL, I think they finally did set the record (yawn) but it wasn't until late in the game - must have set those speakers up at halftime. 

 

Apparently they kept flashing messages on the board for fans to get loud, but they may have grossly overestimated the literacy of their fanbase?

Looks like they learned from Seattle

Thomas Morestead has been a weekly guest on The Great Scott show here in Lafayette on ESPN 1420. He said that the Seahawks use speakers to enhance the noise level in the stadium while opposing offenses are on the field. I don't want to complain like a 49er and claim this is unfair, but I thought this was actually already against the rules?

He said that the crowd gets so much credit for the noise level in the stadium but it surely isn't entirely the case. They are helped out by the noise being pumped through the speakers at the opposing bench.

It's legal now anyway:

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
