Need to trade for another offensive weapon! (1 Viewer)

When you see Udoh
Then you say Uhoh

We need our own Juwan to do something, but yes you are correct

Yeah, they turned him into a blocking TE. I would've had him lose the TE weight and play the Jauan role. It's easier to find blocking TEs than X WRs.

Juwan and Foster not the answer and its a mistake to count on Taysom. Taysom is an icing player, not a cake one

 

[Elvis]

I think it is unlikely a trade is coming before close to the deadline if at all. Other teams are still in the hunt until they aren't and they aren't giving up difference making player after week 3.
Even if they would, I'd rather find OL depth than weapons.

Taysom creates mismatches and confusion for the defense’s alignment. He is absolutely a cake player. He might be the whole dessert spread

Yeah, it doesn't matter how many weapons you have. This offense and this QB isn't going to work if you can't run the ball. They need to get better depth on the OL or the guys they have really need to step up. Maybe Saldiveri is finally ready?

Mmmmmmm. Dessert. Yummy. Im about to have cake and icecream.

You know what you are right. The Saints meal they offered could have been saved with a healthy dose of a delicious dessert

No it's not. There were probably 5x as many catching TE drafted. It's not a position used in college offenses.

Yeah this was the real issue today. If McCoy was playing we'd have won. If Hill and McCoy were playing it would have been a comfortable win. Kind of dumb to trade assets for a WR then.

Its clear they need another weapon. Shaheed was non existent today. I know he was on injury report but 0 catches can’t happen. Was all Kamara and Olave.
Maybe go after Devante Adams, but we could really use a solid tight end. Foster Moreau isnt the answer!

Been saying that. Olave and Shaheed alone not enough. Need a strong third guy. Really need online depth. An injury to McCoy is the absolute worse thing that could hapoen and against a very talented D line and nowyou can now see why.

 

[Que Que 6]

Yes that's exactly what the Saints need, another WR for Carr to not throw to while two defensive tackles sandwich him directly after the snap.

He did not even glance at wide open intermediate routes all game. With or without pressure. He was terrified and got the ball out of his hands even with time.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Like others have stated it was McCoy and also Taysom that were missed. I think we win that game if they both play.

With the way we got manhandled up front I don’t think Rice or TO would have helped.

We have Shaheed, Olave, Hill, and Kamara who are all playmakers in the passing game. The problem today was not lack of weapons. It was lack of ability to use those weapons because we could not run the ball to set up playaction and we could not protect the QB when he dropped back to pass. I'd like to add a bigger contested catch guy at some point and some depth at WR, but whether this offense works or not is totally dependent on being able to run the ball. That's especially so when the interior DL was living in Carr's face every time he attempted a drop back pass.

Adding "weapons" should be done in the draft where they are cheaper.

I don't recall a play where Carr didn't have a DT or DE in his face in two seconds.

 

[DerrickB]

they missed Taysom. And their OL got beat

Gotta have someone other than Hill that is reliable.

 

[St. Widge]

I think that the vision for Holker, but he's not ready and he'll obviously never be the runner that Hill is. But nobody is likely to ever replicate what Hill does. But you can deal with that loss if the interior OL wasn't getting blown up.
