Fewell733 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 What was Sean Payton's logic in not practicing outside all week again? Stupid move. Saints offense looks totally out of sync on the crappy surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kultarr Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Wow, Ruben Brown looks old. Best thing to ever happen to Brown. He now has a legit chance at a ring with a team that understands why you need talent in the trenches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loadofmularkey Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Touchdown Saints! Nice two-minute drill by Brees and a couple of nice catches from Colston and Copper. The fix is back on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewell733 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Colston came up huge that drive. We have a game now. As for Brown, it's funny how we forget how much he was lambasted by the fans for his play and penalties while he was here. At this point though that's a really dead issue.

I don't know if lambasted is the right word. What people are doing to Willis is "lambasting" him. Ruben never got lambasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Grossman is a mess. God help him if the Bears win and he has to face a Belichick gameplan (yes, I know they played earlier in the season, but the playoffs are a different story). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Why didn't the Saints go for 2? Make it a one score game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed completely clueless that half In Grossman's defense, it is 21 days since New Years, and less than a month until Valentine's day. How do you expect him to concentrate on a National Football League game when he has major holidays on the mind?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you couldn't have been here much. He got way more crap here than Willis did because it was over several years. Most of it, like Willis', IMO, was unfounded. The rodeo would go on and on and on and on about all Reuben's penalties and then one guy would actually post the number of penalties he received, which was actually low, and then the rodeo would go on and on and on about how many penalties he had.

A one score game now, but who knows how many more times each team is going to score and how they are going to score. WAYYYYYY too early to be playing that game. Take the point.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 what was the justification for it then? That they have been doing it this way all season long and it's worked well for them, and that you can get a LOT more accomplished during the practice time when it is indoors, and that he didn't want to disrupt them from the roll they were on, and because he didn't want to spook them about the weather or field, or... There could have been a ton of reasons. And he obviously thought about it. Certain teams do and certain teams don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Thurman told his Dolphin teammates this before their game in Buffalo to motivate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me who posted his actual numbers. I went through every game and his number of penalties was something like 8/season. But he sucks for costing us 40-80 yards/season, as opposed to the crappy guard play we've had since then. Alas, my words fell upon deaf ears for the most part. Glad at least one person remembered though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it would be nice to make it a one score game, but I really think it's risky to start playing that game too early. You miss the conversions and you are chasing those points back the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
