Deonte Harris back at practice and other news. (3 Viewers)

Hill is an asset as a H-Back and as the QB inside the 10 yard line… it’s no coincidence that the Saints streak of consecutive TDs inside that distance ended when he wasn’t there!

Now that Ingram is back, that power run/read option with Taysom at QB and Ingram at RB should work even better than before.

Itll be nice not having to use Winston in short yardage situations to get the first down or even put Kamara in that situation.

I know I'll get backlash about my comment, but I think it's better with Taysom out.

No more swapping Winston out for a play that may or may not work. Winston showed he can scramble and get the yards when needed, but I think adding Taysom in, it severely disrupts the offense. We are bringing in Ingram so that is your Taysom pound it in role. At this point, I just don't see the need to rush Taysom back. I think the offense just needs WR and offensive line help. I like Taysom, but I the offense never gels with the constant switching. I'm just not a fan and if he doesn't snap behind center, I don't know if he will be of use or if he goes back to his old role? I don't know, but I'm mixed feelings on this one.

I get what you're saying but I think Taysom (without the QB switching) is a valuable weapon, particularly in the red zone. He fills in the gap with our inconsistent TE play but I do agree that he needs to rest because concussions are nothing to play with.

To block or catch? Catching is what got him put on the sideline because of a bounty style hit. Johnson and Trautman need to step up. If not, cut one of them and make Hill a full time TE.

If he's not going to run and catch then he needs to be cut. He has no value as a QB and is hindering the game when he swaps out for Winston.

His job at this point is to be what he's always been. Hopefully Payton takes no risks with him recovering so he can become the best all purpose player there's ever been.

why cant they use white in jet sweeps ? if hes so fast and cant catch, just hand it to him or throw a WR screen

Jet sweeps never work for us.

Kinda surprised we haven't resigned Will Clapp after Peat's injury.

The tweet came out 3 minutes after you posted this. Freaky.

Hope Turner can practice tomorrow. Really looking forward to seeing him & MD on the field together

Are you SURE they aren’t the same person??? Have you EVER seen them on the field together?

LoL mite be an excellent point

 

[SilverSaint]

Who are those players in the second tweet?

I was thinking the same thing. Is Nick trolling us?

 

[SuperSaint]

I'm worried about Taysom and the concussions, isn't this his third that kept him out?

There's a long-term cumulative effect...

 

[St. Geezy]

Wow. Mahomes had to be helped of the field. And is playing this week? How bad was hills?

 

[BBarnes]

We need him as a TE, though.

Should be his permanent position. He’s not useful at all at QB. Putting him at TE he can still do all the runs he does now. Just make the switch already Tebow, I mean Taysom

Maybe Devin White can’t put the spear on Deonte’s hammy like he did to the kid in the playoff game

With Taysom back Sean can employ the Navy offense especially now that Deonte is back. Bunch of runs in various formations, 2RB sets, put white and Deonte in Jet Sweeps. Do occasional strikes to Deonte and Kamara.

I'm probably in the minority here but I think DH is too valuable to risk running jet sweeps and the like. I'd rather see him as a full time WR that sometimes returns kicks/punts....
