I think Wolf frankly doesn't know how to evaluate offensive linemen. He should let someone else do it and make draft picks for him, Jonathan should take the draft away and provide more collaboration. Let the offensive line coaches have a shot at it.
I completely have faith in AVP to develop Maye and I feel pretty justified because Maye has improved. Maybe I am a glass half full kinda person because I think that Lowe is going to be serviceable at LT.
Lowe stinks to high heaven... what the hell are we doing? We also have media members telling us the line didn't look that bad... they did and have. They got slaughtered in joint practices with the Eagles, they looked horrible in every preseason game.
I think that is where we are. The O-line situation is really surprisingly bad, and over the last few years seems only to get worse. Maybe they knew there were two huge problems - no O-line, no QB - decided they could not address both in one year, decided the best decision - given the draft options - was to address the QB first. But the O-line (possibly the WR situation) is now SO bad that they can't safely and properly develop their new QB. If that's the case, I guess the first priority has to be to keep the new QB safe and confident, by putting the sacrificial lamb Brisket out there this year. It's a pretty ugly plan - not exactly a thing of elegance - but I guess we have to be honest and accept that that is where we are. I'll still enjoy the season, looking to see which of the various new players will work out. It's like it was being a Pats fan pre-dynasty, and it was sort of fun in those days to follow the efforts at building the team up. Hopefully it won't take twenty years or something this time.
Yes, some posters are much better than professionals at evaluating players and being able to build a team. it is so easy, but they prefer their own lives rather than working for professional teams, making the choices.
The notion that they couldn't have taken Maye and improved the offensive line is simply false. I already ran through this simulation.
You're just salty I told you this offseason that the offensive line moves Wolf was making were dumb and now the chickens have come home to roost.
"Wait until next year" is the loser's lament. Let's not become the Jets, Browns and Giants. Play to win every year.
Yes, you and andy think that Wolf was terrible, truly awful because of his decisions at LT.
Not just left tackle... both tackles. Lowe and Okorafor stink. They also could have better free agents than Michael Jordan and Nick Leverett who got abused yesterday.
Oli Udoh and Andrus Peat have both struggled this preseason. Peat is on the roster bubble by some accounts, and 30 years old. I would have liked Patrick Paul at 37 too, but Polk has looked good in camp also, so the jury is still out on that one.
Udoh is pushing Trevor Penning for the starting right tackle job.
PFF ranked the Saints dead last in their Oline rankings, so that’s not an achievement. At least Okorafor locked up a starting role.
They could have, perhaps, but they didn't. Some people see either/ors where both/ands are possible. Such people also tend to form a plan then stick to it, driven by anxiety or by fear of having to make a more complex or bold decision. I think we see that in the present leadership group. We see it in their foolish insistence on sticking, blindly, to their over-timid approach to Mayeis development. Anxious in the face of having to make decisions, their relief over having decided to draft Maye blinded them to what the next step could be. I suppose they might say they felt that their second priority, after "getting their QB," was, given the nature of the draft class, to try to give the new QB "weapons" by focusing on drafting WR's rather than O-linemen. In my mind, that was a foolish decision as to their priorities. A young QB can't make USE of whatever weapons they might provide if he only gets a second and a half for the inexperienced receivers to get open and for him to find them. The fundamental problem is that there seem to be a regime staffed at every level with rank amateurs, chosen apparently for how "nice" they are, crippled by the rigid thinking newbies tend to in challenging jobs. I know it's early in the regime, but to this point the jury is out on the HC, who seems almost pathologically fiddly in his thinking, and the GM, who just seems utterly incompetent.
I think he was terrible because of ALL of his cumulative decisions.
So people posting in a message board shouldn’t have opinions? We should all take turns saying “if Wolf did it must be right, he is a professional”?
