I know it isn’t the college way but I’m still of the mind that you either have one QB or none.

Each had an INT. I would say it's still inconclusive. Need another game or two to separate themselves.

-Adebo is the truth.
-DLINE was active and strong.
-Callaway is the truth.
-Baun has greatly improved.
-Hill is my QB. Intangibles. Leadership.
-Jones is the 3rd RB.
-Backup safety play was excellent.
-It's never been more important than this year. Run the dang ball. 😁
-Book is a gamer. Just appears to lack a NFL arm.
-Freeman should be cut.
-Turnovers and penalties have to be cleaned up.

I don't think Winston had the opportunity to throw with Callaway last night. Did well with less. If Southlake (Humphrey) could catch, that isn't a pick. I've never been a fan of his. At his height, he should use that body to his advantage ... same issues Brandon Coleman had.

We need another WR to help out Callaway until Mike gets back. No idea what's the injury status of 3quan Smith.

What if these are all touch passes and when he throws a rocket someone loses a hand?

Yeah, GamePass only had the Baltimore broadcast, so I was stuck with them... I never knew Mike Nolan is so clueless.

Nolan claimed that the defender doesn't need to be in the neutral zone if his movement causes a false start for it to be a penalty on the defense - the other guys had to correct him, and we was falling on himself backpedaling.

I don't think I could listen to Nolan do a whole game again.

Demario, Kwon, Baun, Werner ... I really like the depth here.

Zach has excellent closing speed. He stood out last night. Same goes for David O. He such a disruptor & clogs up run lanes.

I don't think Winston was in error on the INT. That ball was placed well and bounced off the hands, then chest of Lil Jorden. Should have been a 30yd catch, but ended up as a drop and pick.

Hill's INT was miscommunication and/or bad rout running, however Hill threw another would be INT which was a bad throw but dropped by the defender.

Winston, once he settled in was easily moving the ball down the field. Hoping he gets the start next week and shows up.

Other than the QBs, thought the team played well. Defense was great, O line was good in the first half.

Biggest loser of the night: Devonte Freeman (needs to be cut ASAP)
Biggest winner of the night: Baun (great coverage and sideline to sideline moves)

As a side note to the LB group - Anzalone looked really bad with the Lions, and I'm saying that as someone who really does want to see him have success away from the Saints.

Agreed. Winston looks much better than Hill.

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
