Saints contemplating lineup changes week 16

The Saints stumbled to a 27-16 loss against the Rams in St. Louis on Sunday, and New Orleans travels to Carolina on Sunday to face the Panthers. New Orleans (10-4) would wrap up the division championship with a win, while Carolina (10-4) would take command of the NFC South if it prevails.

 

"Listen, I think we're looking closely at every element," Payton said. "You know, I told the players today in the team meeting we're looking closely at each aspect of this team.

 

"I just think it's important for us to do that. Whether it's (the kicker), the tackle position, whether it's a player on defense ... we're going to look closely at what our options are and what gives us the best chance."

 

The tackle Payton references was left tackle Charles Brown, who was benched in the third quarter at St. Louis. Brown committed two penalties, gave up two sacks, and allowed a hit on Drew Brees that contributed to the quarterback throwing an interception.

 

Right tackle Zach Strief moved to left tackle, and Bryce Harris took over on the right side.

 

"It was one aspect that I think we needed to change during the flow of that game," Payton said of Brown. "In fairness to him, I think there were a lot of things we didn't do well in that game."

 

Payton wasn't as diplomatic in his comments about Brown right after the game.

 

"I saw enough. I saw enough, period," the coach said Sunday. "It was enough penalties, pressures, sacks. It was enough. At some point you can't just keep watching it. Feelings get hurt, it is tough."

Let's hope the Panthers continue the chaos along the Saints OLine.

All part of the Karma that goes with the Super Dome.  Seems some witch doctor in the Bayou cast a spell on them to miss the holding calls.

 

Changes could work in our favor as new faces on the line and lots of crowd noise would mean more penalties.

This X1000. Let's see if they get away with that poo when were at home. Gloves are off, blood will be shed, lives will be lost, children will be orphaned.

agreed

 

i swear hardy gets held more than anybody in the league, he has one of quickest jumps in the game.  such a mismatch with his size, strength and quickness.

      Yup. Hopefully  Brandon adds some muscle this off-season but he'll probably be resting his shoulder for a while so I doubt it. Miles should probably be replaced but I don't think we find a better 4th option to be honest. So is it better to add depth along side williams and Coby or try to upgrade the 4/5 . I think adding depth will probably be more beneficial than trying to upgrade starters and bank on Brandon and Kons continuing development. I really don't think they are going to make the playoffs unfortunately. I think the big hole they put themselves in has exhausted them. They've been amazing since January 1 but I think it's come at a cost and their legs are gone.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      The issue is the predictability of it all in a Bryce Young led offense. In 4th down attempts the Jets were at 41 and we were at 40. And we were 4th in conversation %. We were 25th in the league in 3rd down conversion because we faced so many 3rd and longs in part due to playcalling on 1st and 2nd down but more largely due to the limitations that cannot be overcome.  And people want us to spend another 1st rounder on WR as if it is going to magically give Bryce physical talent he will never possess. It's a shame we cut off our own nose just to put ourselves in this frustrating predicament.
