Re: Observations from the Saints' Win over the Patriots
If we don't have a kicker and our receivers struggle to get separation, maybe we should not entirely discourage our QB from throwing jump balls in the back of the endzone and air punts. I mean, you don't get points for taking a sack, throwing it away, or kicking it way outside the uprights. So if you aren't going to run on 4th and long or punt in the red zone, throwing it into the endzone on 3rd or 4th down may be the best option. Its all situational, but if Winston does not throw that pass, we attempt a field goal that 50/50 Rojas misses. I would rather 50/50 of 6 points than 50/50 of 3 points. Either way the defense gets the ball around the 20 if it doesnt work out.
