What we learned from Saints' win vs. Texans

09-10-2019, 07:38 AM

Lots of broken tackles up the middle. Those things will improve now that the real hitting has begun.

Apple played to good game, only to get beat once on a circus catch.

Considering game 1 has become something of a 5th preseason game, I’m pretty satisfied. The bad things can and will be corrected.

6 sacks.

That pass rush was there last night ... consistently. Watson took a beating. Credit the pure athletic ability for him to move outside the pocket and create things running. Trust me, that will get cleaned up.

It's just the referee's you can't clean up.

-Brees, Thomas, Kamara, and Jordan are beasts.
-Lutz and Morstead are the best duo in the NFL.
-Cook was a huge signing.
-The OL is the truth.
-Davis is the truth.
-Ginn still has it.
-It looks like Hendrickson is ready to realize his potential.
-Murray played well.
-Klien made some plays.
-T. Hill with a great catch.
-High effort all around.

-Onyemata was missed.
-Davenport was over matched, ineffective, and out of position often.
-Lattimore was scuffed up by one of the best.
-Announcers pegged PJ. Good in short area and around the line. Not good deep and against speed.
-Coach still occasionally misses on situations. 2nd and 3 after a Kamara run. Pass, pass punt. Also, pass dominant is the first half = 3 points.

1-0 with a lot of positives and a lot of coachable moments.

False. Go back and watch the game ... Tunsil poked him in the eye early on but Davenport was effective last night.

Not sure how much you watch other teams in the past but Tunsil is a very good tackle.

Good list, I'll add that I missed seeing Hangry Ingram bouncing around. (Didn't think I would)

Are we really on pace for 96 sacks this year?

Clean up the mistakes and we win that game going away.

We allowed 180 yards rushing... that's too much.
Stat sheet shows a Kamara fumble, but he was ruled down. Not sure why the stat sheet is inaccurate.
MT was 10 of 13 targets. Hopkins was way worse percentage wise.
