Loved seeing Pete Fountain


It’s a hologram, bro

Think he had 6 walks in ~8 innings. Then again, we can't read too much into intersquad scrimmages


Heard Jay being interviewed yesterday and said he had forced Schmidt into an outing recently and took away his “safety blanket” whatever that meant. They were tinkering with some of his pitch mix, for sure. And it lead to some weird results Jay said

but let's slow down on the comps to Pro Bowl and a couple of potential HOF level


Nerp, he’s that good.
dang, they should make you the AD!
Sharp had a nice Shrine game practice showing. This TE class is not all that deep
You notice the crickets, huh Jimmy
They have several starters & contributors from 2020-23 drafts

The Saints have a good start with the most recent draft but they haven’t stacked anything

What teams have had four year rebuilds? NFL rosters turn over too quickly to take that long.


Idk, you keep mentioning New England. They’ve been rebuilding since Brady left after 2019. Two coaches and several top 5 picks later, here they are.

It’s not always linear or properly quantifiable in the way you want it to be.
Be “fixed”(relative term) and compete for the division(in a terrible division) /=/ Super Bowl contenders

How many rosters are littered with elite players? Seattle, LA Rams, Philly (with a fraud at QB), Houston on defense. Maybe the Broncos on defense. Payton has done a masterful job on offense without much talent.


Jax & Chi have good rosters. The Chargers have a good roster with a bad OL. San Fran has a great roster that dealt with injuries. Cincy is a playoff team with Burrow healthy.


BUF and KC have generational QBs and have let their skill position talent criminally lapse, just like the Saints did at times with Brees.


This season is giving the Saints hope but some of these teams are way closer than we are and just need a tweak or break to jump back ahead again.


You do not need a ton of elite players but you need quality NFL starters and the Saints do not have a ton of those guys. Especially with the years Cam Jordan and Davis had on defense, they masked a ton of the deficiencies on that side of the ball. Offensively they are devoid of playmakers. It's just not a great roster.

That’s cute. Nussmeier wasn’t on the injury report for much of the season either.


The nfl has a different standard vs the ncaa. Cute but true

Like when you wanted tremont waters benched?


Pretty sure that was you.

Like Seneca Knight’s playing time?


Like when you used to bash naz Reid

Will Campbell strained his MCL in late November


He has not been on the injury report and has been practicing in full

but definitely have a comparable recent chapter.


It pays to have a fall guy
