Video Baldy’s Breakdowns: Saints in Week 1 (Carr, Mathieu and Fuaga) (1 Viewer)

Yep. Those OL picks are not sexy or fun at all, and a lot of times even if they don’t bust, you end up with a good player…however sometimes you REALLY hit the jackpot.

We may have indeed captured elite, superstar level play at what I think is the second most critical offensive position on the football field, for the next decade plus. Having an elite LT is truly a game changer and opens so many things up.

Between the explosion of 7 on 7 football and the faster development of WRs combined with the reduced emphasis and lack of development of offensive lineman, I would take a OL in the 1st every year. The plug and play OL are rare whereas a playmaker can be found fairly easy in the first 3 rounds. Our best playmakers are 2 UDFAs, Shaheed and Taysom while our starting TE is a converted UDFA WR.

This Fuaga kid might be pretty good in a season or two.........

Baldy’s opinion is probably IMHO one of the best covering the league today. I am on cloud 9 with the thought that Fuaga could be in the same, elite category as one of the greatest linemen in NFL history…..

Baldy is the only one I like listening to. He does get really excited about o-line play... the LOL wasn't mean to ridicule, more like a nervous laugh.

It's only 1 game, but seeing Fuaga tossing extremely large men around and mauling LBs... yeah, get excited.

Great stuff. I dont really know how Carr got that first pass off either. Awesome to see him able to throw an accurate pass with pressure around him.

I was watching Penning that play. Lucky there was no flag tbh.

Better to hold than let your qb get clobbered.

 

[Outbackjack]

Holy sheet that was exciting on Fauga.

Can we please keep checking for more first round Polynesian’s maulers from out west.

He’s just spreading a little love.
What’s wrong with that?

Second coming of Willie Roaf?!?
From Baldy's lips to God's ears

 

[TruSaint]

Fuaga’s combo of strength, agility, and footwork are rare. He is going to be one of the best tackles in the entire league very very soon.

agreed. this was a clear holding call and i'm surprised they didn't call it. wow

 

[CowtownSaint]

Just getting home and it’s gonna make my night! Can’t wait to watch!

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

Whats crazy too is both Penning and Fuaga are not even playing their natural positions. I keep forgetting Fuaga was aRT because he looks pretty smooth at LT and will only get better. Smart decision to move himDefine “

What do you mean natural position?

If that narrative by Baldy didn’t fire you up… your wood is wet!

We need a few more so that Fuaga can be the Tribal Chief for their Bloodline.
