NRC and Joyner

[poLARizing]

I hope Les Snead addresses this need in the draft. LJ is too small.

I’m just really disappointed that DRC didn’t keep quiet about the PI.
Tough call, we appreciate honesty with these guys but he’s been essentially bragging that it was PI, that he intended PI, and that he’s as surprised as anyone they didn’t call it....
As for Joyner, he misplayed that ball, but I don’t recall anyone else getting a catch off of him

Not happy with NRC's mouthing off after the game.

Joyner ironically had a solid game for once outside of that play that should have cost us the game. It would have been fitting, too, had Payton been smart enough to simply run the ball 3x and kick a field goal, because Joyner's been blowing responsibilities all season long.

NRC played well. A simple look at the production of Brees, Thomas, Kamara, etc demonstrates that the secondary as a whole played their @$$es off.

NRC could have had two picks in that game if he just turned his damn head around. Even on the last non called PI that would have been a pick 6 if he just looked for the ball. That is one thing I don't see with our corners when in man coverage.

This. It drives me CRAZY. Turn around. Catch or bat the ball down. No PI when you turn, by the way, even IF YOU RUN INTO THE GUY, SINCE YOU'RE BOTH GOING FOR THE BALL.

It's unreal.

He wanted a touchdown and the way the Rams bottled up their running game he probably figured the smart move was rely on Brees's skill at QB.

It did not work out.

NRC didn't get flagged either time, so I say more power to him. He did his job.

 

[jrry32]

Yeah, because those calls were not made. They were obvious calls as well. I like NRC, but if that was a good game, .. Yikes. And what was he doing shooting his mouth off about the call after the game???? Emburrsin...

I don't understand the issue with NRC being honest. The non-call had already happened. Him playing dumb doesn't change anything.

On the non-call play, the Saints quick-snapped it before we got into position. NRC had to literally sprint across the field to cover for our guys not getting set in time. Yes, it would have been nice for him to look for the ball, but I understand why he didn't. Just watch the replay and look where he starts. He's on the other side of the field at the snap. He hauled ass to get into position to defend the pass.

Size isn't the issue. Joyner doesn't aggressively attack the ball in coverage.

can anybody explain why nrc took out the wr. i know he was running at full speed trying to catch up but shouldn't he be smart enough to just get his body between the ball and the wr without knocking him the fuck out? it would have to be a miraculous catch to grab it through nrc.

Joyner didn't need to play dumb or be dishonest, but neither did he need to pour fuel on a media fire. That's just bad judgment.

He was hauling a$$ to get over to cover. I guess he got there faster than he thought he would. I might go little farther then it would have been nice to look for the ball. He said he was try to stop a TD. At that point a PI penalty means the game is virtually over if he gets flagged. The play was still in front of him I think he should have looked for the ball.

which is weird because he used to in previous season. I wouldn't say he was one of the best safeties last year but he was up there. I wonder if his contract has anything to do with it? definitely a different player this year.

He didn't know where the ball was. They snapped it before we were set. He was trying to cover somebody else's ass there. I think he hoped to hit him right as the ball got there.

Well, he had three options:
1. Not comment;
2. Be honest; or
3. Be dishonest.

He chose #2. I respect him for it. It's not like people would be less worked up if he didn't answer the question. I think it was hilarious of him to be like, "Yeah, I got away with one. Shit happens." The fire was already raging. I don't see his comments as fuel on the fire.
