Speakers


Zod

Recommended Posts

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:

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
