Saints at the top of Davante Adams’ wish list [Raiders trade Adams to Jets for conditional 3rd ; Jets paying Adams’ entire remaining salary] (6 Viewers)

[Rexman100]

As much as I would love to get him, I would rather we trade for a OL than a luxury pick like Adams. In fact we could trade for D. Hopkins or John Metchie for way less and get the same production.

This is an extremely abnormal situation where you have an all pro Wr that’s requiring to go to the Saints or Jets. And it’s a position of need for both teams. This wouldn’t even be a discussion if Carr or Rogers wasn’t the QB. But the Saints have the advantage because of Keith Williams. So if you’re the Saints, you have to find a way to make it happen.

The media has pulled back from mentinoing the Saints and seem locked in on the Jets and Steelers.

I’d give a first just to make the money work.

The media really can’t stand anything saints related, not a good barometer

I don't doubt that, but for reasons that have nothing to do with actually playing the game, it doesn't present as a good fit because of financials. I think thats why they have gone quiet on us.

We need to get back to what we want to be good at. And that's running the ball early and often to set up the pass. Once the eagles exposed us, we turned into a 3 yard per carry team from a 5 or 6 yard per carry team. Pete Carmichael would've been proud. The last two games we had to depend on DC4 to get things done. And that's exactly what we tried to get away from, over-reliance on the Qb. We currently have no margin of error. Projecting KC: I think we improve running the ball considering that our oline seems OK w/ Shane Limeaux. But i still don't see over 4 yards a carry. We'll have a lot of 2nd & 7 and 3rd and longs. Adding Adams could give Carr a sure handed WR catching quick passes over the middle, (how we would use MT). We can use the short passing game to set up the run, then the run to set up the chunk. As it stands, we need another playmaker on Offense to help offset our weakened but improving oline.

THE reason we had issues on the OL in the Philly game is that McCoy went down early. Mike Detillier wrote an article that when a C goes down in game they lose 70% of the time. We ran for 133yds and a 5.2 avg against ATL. with 2 starting O linemen out and with 1 wk of practise.

In all honestly, I think that’s all it is…him ribbing his brother.

He’s taken it too far though and I want he and his squad eliminated. lol

While I like Campbell , I'm really starting to not like the Lions. With Goff saying he's not sorry about the ridiculous no-call and pretentious St. Brown and his Dad dissing our Saints I hope they are 1 and done

It's been ridiculous today. I know we are a small market team but come on sportscasters at least do your job.

* The Saints are contenders despite two close losses. The team's advanced analytic stats are excellent. Adams wants to play for a team with a chance to win.
* Devonte went to the Raiders specifically to play with his college guy Carr. We have Carr.
* His most trusted coach, Keith Williams, was his WR coach at Fresno State and is current on the Saints' staff. I have heard NO (ZERO!) national media talk about this. They have no Fork**** idea.

To act like the Saints aren't either Devonte's first or second choice is East Coast elitist BS and lazy journalism.

 

[Hubig]

I'm not buying the JETS. Didn't Adams and Rodgers beef at the end of that playoff loss that led him to seek to free agency?

Market size has nothing to do with it.
ESPN just has an obsession with the Jets.

The way her face lights up when she mentions the Saints and she blushes, then speaks our lingo about Mickey making the money work…I love this woman.

Just not true, we are a collision of 3 DBs and a DPI away from being 4-0 halfway through the toughest part of our schedule. The OL did not play that badly with 2 starters out. If we had Adams I would bet $ we win this last game. There is no runaway favorite in the NFC we have almost as good a chance to win it as anyone, We get Adams, and our chances just went up by 40%

I think you’re right.

That Atlanta game was especially an anomaly, a mirage of sorts.

We actually played a fine game on both offense and defense, to say we were banged up and on the road.

The muffed punt, and the freakish pick six were the anomalies that made the game look worse than it was.

Our defense is still great and is holding everyone in check. Our offense has its issues but just need that little “something extra” for when teams have us figured out from a strategy standpoint.

Adams is one of those guys that even when teams have what you’re doing figured out, you still have a guy that can dominate physically and you can just throw it up to or near and allow him to make a play.

A DAWG.

However this plays out, I just hope we don’t have to wait until November 4 to hear about it.

Meant to say this yesterday. I don’t necessarily think things are all warm and fuzzy there, but I could be wrong.

It’s also possible though that even if they did have a falling out, the two may have had a heart to heart since then and are ready to rekindle and give it another go.
