Exactly, and the payoff for our suffering will be a top 5 pick in all likelihood

Absolutely. Although the play on D goes beyond injuries hopefully DQ taking over provides better play.

I agree. The D goes beyond injuries..

All of the LB's are the same as last year. They make zero plays and are horrible in space. To me that is part coaching and part lack of talent.

I would have told Wagner and Ertz, thank you for last year but we need to part ways. Part of being a good GM is getting rid of old guys at the right time.

Trading for Lattimore was dumb as the Saints could not wait to trade him. You have to be able to realize that an often-injured corner is not going to push you over the top.

I would have told Wagner and Ertz, thank you for last year but we need to part ways. Part of being a good GM is getting rid of old guys a year too late. I'd rather get them off my team at the right time.

Luvu and Wagner are the same guys, but Hampton washed out. I think Magee is one of the few positives this year, Luvu could succeed again in the right scheme, but Wagner is done. His heart is still in it 100% but his body isn't and he surely retires at year end. Once DQ sees the season is over, he needs to get a good look at the depth, by getting those guys on the field and see what shakes out. I think a lot of it is coaching and age combined.

Wagner still has the heart, but we should have seen how his skills were diminishing and let him go. Ertz puzzles me, and I think his hearts gone. He obviously can still play as he's getting open a lot, but his drops and general concentration isn't there (dropping short on 4th down?). It's like he has one foot out the door already. Get Sinnott on the field and playing the bulk of reps. See what you actually have.

We needed a corner, we just traded for the wrong one. I suspect AP learned a lesson from this. We haven't traded for a washed up DE have we?
