There is absolutely nothing to be gained from continuing to start Tyrod to season's end. Its unlikely that Peterman could turn things around but it really couldn't get any worse. You could just feel the air going out of the balloon when Tyrod overthrew an open Benjamin twice in the redzone in the opening drive. I think maybe Peterman makes those throws. Ok at least maybe one of them lol. For sure a TD would not have changed the result. Saints are a superior team playng at a high level. Still I do think we would have been more competitive on O with Peterman under center. JMO.

That aging center is exactly the type of player they prefer to a guy like Woods, who is really just now entering into his prime. Remember Kelsay when Jauron was running the show?

I'm having a hard time watching this. Glad for Woodsieand Sammy tho.

Nice catch & td run for Sammy.

And they say he can block too.

No. Only 3 downs. Its a passing league.

Beats watching the Jets and Tampa. I guess.

Agreed.

They know better than that.

Necessarily when he occupies two interior O- lineman. Or even when he doesn't because Thornton and Washington can't even match up one on one.

This is true and pretty much the point that some are missing. There would be many fewer missed/broken tackles if he were there.

Absence will be felt for the remainder of the season. At least. JMO.

I dont think Glenn is right physically. I've never seen him play this badly.

This crew gives the most penalties. They are always in every game.

Fair enuf but there's another take imo. Lots here wanted Mike Williams in the last draft (with reason, and he went high in the first round). Williams and KB are basically the same receiver type. They beat up on smaller corners and win jump balls/ are redzone targets. True Williams is a bit faster but Benjamin is experienced and has already proven that he can not only play but excel in this League and even the most talented rooks have some bust/underperformance risk associated with them. And KB is only 26. So I think we traded a third and a seventh (both bearing some performance risk) for a high first rounder viz the 2017 class at least that is a more proven commodity. And Beane saying that they had a mid- first round grade on him in the 2014 class is saying a lot.The question in my mind is whether Tyrod has the stones to throw it to him when he does not gain much separation.

Right. Thanks for reminding me.

That would be awesome but will never happen. Broncos are high on Booker and see him as the future of their run game.

Been there and done that before (for a likely HOF LT no less). No repeat please.

Exactly. Because he has never shown to be a good enuf passer to be able to do that with any consistency. So for now you have to assume that if he tried he could well turn into a turnover machine. Seems to be the opinion of our coaches/ coordinator as well. But he is not nearly as bad as his most determined critics would say. And I think I see some improvement in his play this year. Used to be that he was more one read and run. Now I think I see him keeping his head up a lot and scanning the field for receiving options when out of the pocket. That adds a dimension to his play imo. In the past I dont think he got much help from his receivers when plays broke down and maybe that has improved a bit as well. Our WR corps is much maligned and lacks a legitimate vertical threat (I dont know whether journeyman Thompson can be that guy) but Matthews, Jones and Holmes are pretty big targets and are not without skill. There is room for improvement in the passing game and who knows we may yet see it. If we do our chances of seeing the playoffs will be much better.

Yeah like maybe his uncle.

Yeah but OTOH there are too many of them in risk management positions.

Right. The storm troopers already have their very own forum on this board. We should all stick to football here.

Watchout for ratface in NY

Loves to show off his pipes.

A little soft in the middle of the line. Hmmmm
