Saints bring in RB Devonta Freeman for visit, signed 1 yr deal (1 Viewer)

He regressed slightly in 2017, was injured for most of 2018, then fell off a cliff in 2019 (656 yards at only 3.6 per carry, a career low to that point). He was even worse with the Giants last year (five games, 1 TD and 3.2 yards per carry before being sent to IR and then waived).

The Giants have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL so I really wouldn't read into that too much....

Wiser wo

Trust that Payton knows what he’s doing.

Wiser words have never been spoken

That's not a good way to win games in today's NFL.

I guess you slept through last year's 9 game winning streak when we ran 30+ times in nearly every win. And before you say we had the lead...na uh....

This is a popular misconception. We were down 14-0 to the Lions and ran the ball 42 times. We were down 20-3 against the Chargers and ran it 25 times, we were down 13-3 and ran the ball 30 times against the Bears. This was all during the 9 game win streak. We get in trouble when SP gets impatient and all pass happy and unfortunately he does so during the playoffs....you always have the option to run, the only exception being if you are down more than one score near the end of the game...

Okay which one of running backs are hurt?

Or had a DUI, or has Covid, or...

[sigh]

At this pace we may also be signing Roddy White. I’m being sarcastic of course

 

[Rudy]

Screw Roddy White. Now him I don't like.

Did anyone pick up that he played with Jameis Winston on that 2013 FSU championship team ? Jameis probably put in a word for him

Good signing. 3rd back as Ty Montgomery will help out on WR duties

Cherry pick 2 games as anecdotal evidence. There's hundreds of advanced statistics and data points that prove you wrong. Name 5 teams without a good/great passing game that made it to a conference championship the past decade.

 

[Mr. Coach Klein]

I'm not soley just saying that. Need to rely more on the run game tho. It helps the defense stay off the field longer. Controls the clock.

You can burn clock and keep possession with short safe passing too. Brees has done it past few years. Switching to anything less than 60% passing is not a way to go far in the playoffs IMO. Not without the 00 ravens D.
