The "come clean" thread, dish out and eat your own crow (3 Viewers)

[NatureBoy]

My two swings and misses have been criticism of the Saints OL and not having enough talent (overall) to truly compete.

The OL is playing well above expectations. Congrats to KK who is putting his people in a position to be successful. Also, hats off to the OL coach who I'm hearing is a great mentor. Seems like he has done a great job with Penning.

As for talent, we obviously have the starting depth to compete. We'll see how it goes if we need to dig deep. Thankfully, we've stayed relatively well so far.

OK, dish up your own. To hell with your "hot takes" that appear to be wrong. Hating Allen and Carr for the sake of holding on, hoping you wil still eventually be proven "right" isn't the right path. Enjoy the season and root for your team!

And especially STOP IT with all the “fire DA anyway and promote Kubiak” nonsense, that’s what a bad franchise would do. If this continues, we hope to give Kubiak a raise.

Dennis Allen is the head coach

He is not going to be demoted to defensive coordinator

Stop saying it

I got everybody beat. I thought we should blow it up and rebuild. Thought we should keep Loomis and trade anyone 27 or older.

Please no!!
Y’all stick to your guns - I think your pessimism is the fuel for the season

Have to eat crow on the OL. They did not look great in preseason and set up the worst of my fears. But Dennison has worked wonders with them.

I ate my crow in the other thread. Someone else can have my helping of crow in this thread

I didn't think the combination of our OL and RB room would be good enough to field a top rushing offense. I was dead wrong.

In Kubiak I trust now.

Here’s what I’ll say, I haven’t been believing in Penning (rightfully so based on his last) but man has he been delivering on game day the last two weeks. Im extremely happy he’s stepped up

I had been preaching that for the past 3 seasons. I also wanted to see a change at GM. I'm still not a Loomis fan, but it seems they have rebuilt (without really saying it) and have found the right direction.

I had a perfect off-season. All predictions were correct. Sorry you guys were wrong so often.

J/K…Penning has shut me the hell up. And my boy Cedrick Wilson has been a dud as a pass catcher; great run blocker though.

EDIT: I also gave a rough evaluation of Kamara this off-season. Thought his skills were diminished but it seems it was more scheme related, as many here had preached.

What do i need to come clean for?
I've been saying that they would not be terrible since the summer. Wasn't expecting this though. Lol

I was accused of sunshine pumping.

 

[bobad]

I've said I'm not sold on Dennis, Carr, and WIlliams, and stated that Kamara is winding down. Never was convinced that Penning was a bust, but was worried.

I'm having to swallow my pride and re-think all the above!

You started your thread an hour ago I made a statement back in January. Your late.

 

[sammymvpknight]

I have to admit, I couldn’t envision the impact that an OC and LT could have on this team. There were times that this looked like the worst offense in the NFL last season. It’s unreal. And how Penning has held up two game straight is something I didn’t think was possible entering the year. Those three pieces have seeming made an enormous difference.

I'll own up to not liking Allen and Carr. Allen because he hasn't shown anything until Kubiac got here. I'm sure that he was involved in the hire so I give him credit for that. Carr damaged my perception of him when he was yelling at his teammates on the field and sidelines last season. It's all good when they're winning but we all saw how things will go when they don't.

They're doing well. It's fun to watch. There's very little to complain about. I'm hoping for a fun season.
