Except for Marshall Faulk.I disagree about the PT Cruiser. Best screen and blocking back in the league.
our #3-5 WR has accounted for 6 yards through six games this season? 1 yard per game.
Josh hill averages 1.6 receptions pergame for 13 YPG.
Latavius Murray is averaging 1.6 RPG for 11 YPG.
the usage of Murray and Hill will likely increase but I’d be shocked if a less talented Hill get more yards against the Bears than Jared Cook averaged this season, 28 YPG. I’ll slot him down for 20 receiving yards. I’ll be kind to the Saints #3-5 WR and give them 15 yards combined (a total that is three times the amount they’ve received the entire season). So that means that Murray will need 50 yards receiving. I think it’s optimistic but we’ll see.
I completely anticipate this being a low scoring game. If our defense doesn’t put up an elite performance, we will probably lose...just has been the case in many post-Brees games this season.
Whoa, interesting take.
You're hoping for Alvin Kamara type receiving production without Kamara?
I mean Murray isn't known to be a back to fear catching the ball.
I feel like we completely agree except on the conclusion.
I believe we have the absolutely best chance to create production with CSP but I believe what made Moore, P Thomas and Colston great was a hall of fame QB. I don’t think TB has the same ability to make receivers the absolutely maximize their ability like Brees so now, Payton can scheme a guy open and the next eminent is execution, will TB take advantage like Brees did?
for example, saints run that tunnel screen on the goal line, they schemed a counter to that play to counter an over aggressive defense and got Thomas wide open... TB over threw him.
again, I’m not saying we can’t win! I’m saying that if we win, it probably won’t be from some newly found offensive production. My money will be on a low scoring game where the team that makes the least mistakes and takes advantage of a handful of opportunities that are presented will win.
Not sure why you're referencing my post in your own. At no point did I ”crap on these offensive numbers”. I basically said 167 yards passing with 0 TDs and 1 Int along with 2.9 YPC from Murray is not enough alone. We'll need a big game from the D and ST unit.I keep seeing “the Saints will handle the bears” and now people crapping on these offensive production numbers but the Bears have a VERY good defense. We don’t have Brees, Kamara or even T Smith... they will plan to take Thomas out... where does the rest of the offense come from? And before you start throwing out names, I’d also like examples of other times they’ve done it.
the Saints were short on offensive skill players going into the season (depth, not quality) now two of our top skill players are gone, one being our HOF QB. To win this game, it will have toBE DEFENSE and special teams. The offense isn’t going to uncharacteristically start producing while undermanned and against a very good defense.
jmho
Those numbers for the TE’s and Murray you listed are not applicable considering they haven’t been asked to be the number one option up to now and tomorrow they are, so they’ll be expected to get similar production Kamara and Cooks attained in their starts. Even if they don’t hit those numbers it’ll be considerably more due to nothing else than they’ll get targeted more.

?i was agreeing with you
He's actually my X factor in this game and any hope of some big plays. I think Taysom needs at minimum 15 offensive snaps in this game. He may complete a huge pass play.I think Taysom Hill will have a few carries. Carr was open a few times last week , look for Teddy to give him some looks this week. I think Humphery will have his first catch or catches.
No, that's realistic. Pessimistic would be saying we won't get past midfield tomorrow.This projects to the worst game of Teddy's career. That's awfully pessimistic.
