Only position this regime knows how to draft
Posted by NewBeginnings on 4/26/24 at 7:59 pm
I have to give credit to Allen and his coaches, they know how to scout and pick defensive backs. The problem is that their confidence in that position leads them to draft it to the detriment of other positions.
Can Kool aid help this team, sure. But not more than def line, offensive line, or WR? ...

Reality is that we have many areas of need. It’s not like Dallas Turner would be the difference between playoffs or not. ...

I’ve heard so much negativity about D Maye that I wouldn’t want him even if he fell to 14. I think we do not have the right environment for him to develop. He’s seems closer to a project than a ready made star...

Depends how you define the duties of their job. If it is just “win”, then I think that is short sighted. The focus should always be trying to win but doing so with a realistic evaluation of players, how to develop players, state of the roster vs competition, and future realistic goals.

re: So what do we do for a backup now with jameis gone?
Posted by NewBeginnings on 3/12/24 at 4:19 pm
It doesn’t matter. We are not a contender. If Carr goes down, we just let the young guy play. Best case…we discover we’ve got something. Worst case…better draft picks...
re: Do the Saints finally trade back?
Posted by NewBeginnings on 3/1/24 at 7:51 am
If not mistaken, in 2018 we traded two firsts to move from 28 to 14 in order to draft Davenport. Could you imagine how great that would be for us to do the opposite- drop to 28 and pick up an extra 1st.
This team has so many needs that we can get a great fit for us at 28. ...
re: Thank you Shaq for calling LSU home. First class man and true ambassador for LSU!

If not for Dale, then Shaq would have never step foot on LSU’s campus. The story of how they met and Dale became like a second father to him is the core of what has made college athletics so great. ...
re: What is the board's opinion of Jeff Ireland
Posted by NewBeginnings on 2/2/24 at 5:32 pm
I think the biggest draft issue we have is NOT Ireland. It’s Loomis making overly aggressive trades that benefit other teams more than the Saints. It’s like he believes the Saints are one player away every year. ...
re: Falcons. Raheem Morris
Posted by NewBeginnings on 1/25/24 at 5:21 pm
Are we forgetting that DA team played the Rams in December and Raheem Morris’s defense shut down the Saints offense most of that game. I watched that whole debacle and outside of garbage time yards/points, our offense was lost. I wouldn’t be too quick to laugh at another teams head coaching hire whe...
re: Jon gruden on saints' coaching staff?
Posted by NewBeginnings on 1/8/24 at 6:01 pm
I know no one and the Saints don’t care but if they hire Gruden on staff then I’m done as a Saints fan.

OT is my first choice (several good ones in this draft)
Brock Bowers is my second choice. He could slide with all the QB, OT, and WR picks I think he’s going to be like having Kelce. ...
re: What’s the story on 2025 5* WR Caleb Cunningham out of MS?
Posted by NewBeginnings on 1/6/24 at 10:43 pm
I’ve lived in MS for a long time and I still can’t explain it. Kids have no problem going to Alabama or Auburn if they are highly rated. I think it’s cultural in their mind. Alabama seems like a more successful Mississippi while Louisiana is a weird culture. They have this reverence (admiration) for...
re: Penix Jr. slinging it tonight in the Dome

He has had 3 notable injuries in college. I think injury risk drops him to 2nd or3rd round. I like him but too risky in the 1st. ...
re: Looking at Draft spots post win
Posted by NewBeginnings on 1/2/24 at 10:00 am
Draft pundits are saying this draft is deep at OT. With all the QB’s getting drafted early, it will push some too 10 quality OT’s toward us I believe that is the way to go. Ram is likely retiring, we can’t afford anyone of quality in free agency, and Penning’s development is unreliable. I don’t lik...
re: Imagine if you will….a College Football Players Union (CFPU)
Posted by NewBeginnings on 12/29/23 at 10:31 am
Over the past couple of years, I have switched to a pro-union, players as employees model for college athletics. I think it is inevitable and will solve lots of issues. Pros:
1. Players get treated more fairly.
2. Football will get divided into different tiers: top 40 or so athletic programs co...

Saints HC job
Negatives:
1. Oldest roster (many of our best players will be retiring and/or are declining).
2. No long term WB
3. Salary cap restrictions
4. GM who is so aggressive in the draft that he loses most trades.
5. Winnable division but winning in playoffs will be hard bc teams are ...
re: Is holding on to DA 1 more year actually the right choice?
Posted by NewBeginnings on 12/14/23 at 11:46 am
This is my biggest concern. I’ve accepted that the next 2-3 years are going to be painful no matter what. Don’t make it worse by allowing Allen to pull desperate trades or moves. Tell him to accept what he gets, make the best out of it, and enjoy his paycheck.
I felt like the move for Carr was an ...
re: Arky's KJ Jefferson entering the Transfer Portal
Posted by NewBeginnings on 11/29/23 at 12:06 pm
I wouldn’t be surprised if MS State is an option for him. He’s from Mississippi. Lebby is an offensive coach, the QB cupboard is bare, and if he plays better there than Arkansas, then it really boosts his draft stock bc he can say the Arkansas systems did not use him correctly. ...
