Not a huge fan of Shepherd but hopefully it is a cheap deal.

It reduced his hit, seems to be exactly why they did it. I just heard Ross explain it in detail on AFR.

I don’t like Shep either.

Must admit I don’t get this move at all, but I hope it’s part of an overall plan that’s not evident at this stage.

Really thought we’d let him walk and keep Saunders. Wonder if Saunders is on the chopping block now.

Was to reduce his hit.
Ross explains it well in this short segment.

Starts at about 3:08 for the Shep stuff.

Aside from the ankle twisting incident, what has been seen for people to not like Shepherd?

You guys spending hours breaking down DT film in your free time and know all of his assignments?

Not saying the guy is great, I’m just wondering how anyone could be so convinced that a rotational DT isn’t good enough to be extended a modest contract.

And he hates him because of that incident. I mean, what the heck?

I think it just falls into the category of an underwhelming move. Fans are excited for changes to get us as far away from the DA era as fast as possible. While other teams are negotiating big deals, we haven’t made any big visible moves to reshape the team.

Trading for Godchaux also falls somewhat into underwhelming territory, but at least it represents us moving in a new direction. As a result, very few (if any) posts were made to complain about that move.

The Saints hater brigade is already starting to get impatient and chirp, with Michael Thomas joining in on the “fun.”

I get that but I still am missing the point. Maybe I’m just too old now.

Think it’s just a guy that’s already giving up on KM after today’s non-results, saying he’s more of the same, and taking a shot at his dental appearance in the process.

Gotcha. Thanks.

The game goes so fast, he tackled him by the foot / ankle. The guy was falling from the tackle.
How was he supposed to know?

If you semi alligator roll, then you kinda have an idea. If my memory serves me correctly, he alligator rolled it



Held on too long, with a roll
