They are highly touted, and Emery was listed as the top RB recruit in the country by at least one publication. He's another Fournette type of talent, with the rare combination of size and speed. But he might have more lateral quickness than Fournette, which makes him an all around insane talent.

And yet, he barely played last week, and I don't recall seeing him once last night. I can only imagine he has some kind of injury that isn't being talked about, or they feel like he doesn't know the plays well enough yet. But given his ability, I'd like to see him touch the ball at least five times, if he's healthy, to get him acclimated. Davis-Price only has about 7 or 8 carries in the two games combined. He's a bigger back, who runs pretty well, though not as fast as Emery.

I agree about Helaire. He really hasn't made people miss. Give him an opening and he'll run through it, but he reminds of Mark Ingram in his first several years with the Saints.
It's been said that his inability to pass block was part of the reason why he didn't see the field. Keeping Burrow upright should be our number priority on offense. I'm sure we'll see a lot more of the younger backs the next 3 games.


I was pretty disappointed with the defense in the second half but...

-It was a road game against an excellent offense.
-It was hot.
-Our locker room had no air conditioning.
-They were holding Chaisson all night long.

For the most part, coverage on the outside was good. Kary Vincent struggled mightily and shied away from contact when tackling. A couple of missed tackles here and there and the game would have been a complete blow out IMO. The defense is better than what it showed Saturday night. It will be better.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
