ReFo: 49ers @ Saints, Week 10
 

New Orleans Saints – Performances of Note

Jimmy Graham, TE: +2.2

Breakdown: Jimmy Graham was keeping the Saints in this game, and came so close to winning it for them at the death, hauling in the Drew Brees Hail Mary pass only to be flagged for the push off he used to secure it (aided by a nice flop by Perrish Cox). Graham was virtually uncoverable all game long.

Signature Play: Q2, 0:17. The downside to Graham being so tough to cover is that occasionally Brees will put a ball where it has no business being. This pass was thrown into triple coverage, and never had a prayer of being completed.

Kenny Vaccaro, S: -5.4

Breakdown: I had high hopes for Vaccaro and Byrd heading into this season. While injury removed Byrd from the equation, Vaccaro has been playing terribly at times and appears to be trying to replace the loss of missed tackles created by the departure of Malcolm Jenkins.

Signature Stat: Vaccaro missed another two tackles in this game, and now has 15 misses on the season. He has only had two games without a miss, but has two with three or more.

Keenan Lewis, CB: +2.1

Breakdown: This was a remarkable performance from Lewis because he played hurt for much of the game. After defending a deep pass, Lewis was removed from the game and actually told he was out, before arguing his way back on the field and making several key plays, all while limping badly from this injury.

Signature Stat: Allowed just one catch for 15 yards (and a score) all game, while breaking up two of the incomplete targets.

Can we trade Vaccaro? I'm sick of him already

I feel physically sick watching he and Corey white blow coverages in the dying moments of the game

Ingram, Graham and lewis were the only bright spots for us

Why not give the ball to Ingram on 3rd and 1 instead of throwing into a triple covered Kenny stills?

Colston will likely get released after this year, such a shame because he was one of my favourite players and he's dropping passes left and right and he's made brutal mistakes in at least 2 of our losses.
