Re: Observations from the Saints' loss to Carolina
Also, based on our oline performance, anyone expecting a 6 year $160 million extension for Armstead announced tomorrow? Would be just typical. And then he goes on IR Tuesday.

Another positive to take away - it was clear from this game that Payton Turner is now our DE2, if not DE1, as Cam Jordan is definitely slowing down now... While I believe in rotating, keeping DEs fresh, it's Cam that should've been coming out more for Granderson, especially on 3rd downs, as he was obviously gassed... Granderson has no business being in there on early downs as he doesn't have the sand in his arse to anchor the edge vs the run... Thought our DTs played above expectations, especially in goal line defense; they got lit up by tight officiating, but as said earlier, they gotta pick their spots... |

Smart on Armstead's part really, because if you minimize bad film vs bad matchups, management won't have that leverage in contract negotiations... Ramczyk literally faced a gauntlet of HOF pass rushers the year before for twelve weeks, not allowing even one sack and maybe a few pressures... Payton is mercurial, may walk in, changed mind, and alter Ramczyk's contract language, but as of now, based on the facts, this is Armstead's last Saints season... |

Re: Observations from the Saints' loss to Carolina
Another positive takeaway from this game was Zach Baun; he was struggling early on, but managed to regroup his focus in game and come back and play tough...
In recent past, we've usually had LBers that had to sit for the remainder of the game, perhaps another week or so, before they regained that focus, confidence... Baun was right back in there, swarming, slugging it out, keeping it close in the hopes that Jameis would eventually figure out how to read a blitz and make the hot read... |

Re: Observations from the Saints' loss to Carolina
Know I disagreed with Brother Chris during the game commentary, but thought Adebo played very well...
While he gave up short gains, that Michael Thomas 8-yard power-step-in route is hard to defend, he stopped all the big plays and made some crucial open-field tackles... Should also mention that Adebo could've used some help from the DEs to knock down those quick low-trajectory passes as defenses adjusted vs Drew Brees... Remember the Panthers have our playbook in Brady and he knows how to pick at even a good CB... But as a rookie CB2, he had a very solid 2nd game and will learn to jump those routes and give those QBs pause, maybe enough for a sack or even a sack/fumble... |

Re: Observations from the Saints' loss to Carolina
Thought the time to use Taysom Hill to spark the offense would've been much earlier in the game; Payton really seems to have lost that timing with using him...
