Observations from the Saints' Win against the Redskins

There were a lot of positives in today’s victory. But a few glaring negatives. Demario’s pass coverage is bad. He could’ve been flagged on multiple occasions. He got beat terrible on a few throws. The 4th and 14 by Washington, what was Jenkins doing. He ran up to cover a guy that was already double covered. Meanwhile, letting a WR slip right behind him. Last but not least. Payton undressing his starting QB on the sideline on multiple occasions. Not good.

So, do we cut Demario? He is clearly our second best defensive player behind Lattimore. Coverage isn't his primary job.

Cut, absolutely not. But teams are targeting our weaknesses. Werner played well in pass coverage today. Probably better than Davis ever has. Werner struggled in run assignments. Davis dominated. Things will work out once Kwon is back.

Oh come on. Werner didn’t have a single pass break-up today.

That’s cap bro. Davis has been the best coverage linebacker on this team since he’s gotten here and usually grades out really well compared to the rest of the league. If he’s getting beat on routes by WR’s it’s because he’s supposed to get beat. Those are mismatches.

Better than a healthy Kwon? I get it, with Demario we get a leader on and off the field. He’s my favorite Saint. I played against him in High School. He’s a beast. But ain’t nobody that’s watching the game betting on him to make a play in coverage. Even the announcer’s today mentioned he should have been flagged twice. As a run defender, we haven’t seen that kind of talent in quite some time.

No, Heidelberg High. But back then Demario played mostly WR and I played DB.
