Great! Let’s trade them the pick and get some extra picks
re: Discussion: If the Saints draft Will Campbell at 9...how do you shuffle the OL?

Wow, I do not recall Wirfs being such a combine monster:
36” vertical and 4.85 40 at 320lbs.
How did he last to pick #13?

Correct, absolutely not LSU specific.

Smaller sports will be hit or already being hit. Things like track and field, swimming and diving, maybe soccer or la crosse at some schools.
For instance, SEC and other conferences are limiting roster size to 22 for swim and dive. Previously, they had limited scholarships but no limit to roster size.
After the House vs NCAA ruling, they really cannot have walk-ons anymore. They have to be compensated on some level. So, those sports are in a situation where they are able to compensate more athletes, but are limited in roster size.
It also takes away opportunities from other students who would otherwise be Division I Athletes as wak-ons.

At this point, it may be best to keep him and let him play. If he plays well, maybe a contender with some injuries at wide receiver will overpay for him in the middle of next season.

Does he want to join the fraternity of All Pro receivers from LSU? Always room.

Campbell or Banks, IF they feel like either is worth that draft slot and can start for a decade. If not, find a LG later in the draft.
re: Aaron Rodgers...should we?
Posted by jbeard on 2/13/25 at 12:55 pm
I think he is done. Would not be surprised if he retired. Or if no one pursued him.
It could be a case where he joins a contender in the middle of next season if their starter went down.

If a good offensive tackle is available, that the team likes, in the first round, then take him.
Penning could move inside. And TF appears to have the versatility to play left or right tackle.

I like trading down, if possible.
But there will be some solid defensive contributors there at 9

I saw that, too. Terrance Ferguson?

Yeah, or she asked some other owners for advice on operations.

When this happens, it usually means the coach got word - or had a feeling - they were not getting the job.
re: LSU tied at half to the #11 team on the road and Fans (I use that term loosely) are upset
Posted by jbeard on 1/18/25 at 8:48 pm
Yeah, I just checked the score and thought we would be getting trounced. Instead I see it is tied with 14-15 minutes to go in the game.
re: Ben Johnson to raiders?
Posted by jbeard on 1/15/25 at 12:20 pm
Agree. Maybe the least desirable of all the locations with a head coach opening.
re: Evans is owning Lattimore
Posted by jbeard on 1/13/25 at 9:46 am
Maybe Latt’s legs are just too far gone. He’s had a lot of hamstring injuries. Catches up to you.
re: Which HC job is best situation and which is worst?

Yes, Saints have aging talent and a bad cap situation.
But the Jets and Raiders have proven for decades to be bad franchises that are poorly managed.
At least the Saints have had some fairly recent success and have shown they can find success and stability with the right coach.

re: Saints expected to interview former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel
Posted by jbeard on 1/7/25 at 2:36 pm
Is Vrabel using everyone else to leverage the Patriots? Get more from them.
They have a talented young g quarterback and an owner he knows. Jets have Rodgers and Saints have Carr.

Maybe this is his plan for getting out of New Orleans, where he knows a rebuild is definitely happening?
re: Saints are bitches
Posted by jbeard on 1/5/25 at 3:41 pm
Saints players didn’t seem to know.
If they did, they should have jumped the route and returned it.
Bucs were playing with fire to do that in a one-score game.
