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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
