I think our defense will play a good if not great game, and just like a rookie pitcher in baseball getting good run support, make Book's job easier and let him manage the game and not have to do too much. He doesn't have to put up 300+ yards and 3+ TD's - though if the game trends in that direction and the Dolphins can't figure him out, he's certainly welcome to!

I wonder what they'll put on his grave stone. The dude is going to be hit so many times he's not going to know which direction the offense should be going. Our line is still going to be porous and we're still not going to have anyone to throw it to. I feel sorry for the guy. We may win this game, but if we do it'll be another defensive effort. I don't think Book is the guy, but as I said for the other two guys that played, this game will not be a fair evaluation of him so after things go terrible for him I won't be too critical.

If this is so he’s gonna feel right at home running the Saints offense! 😝

I feel like this is going to be a page turner in this next chapter of the Saints QB room.

C-Eric McCoy
RG- Cesar Ruiz
RT- Caleb Benenoch

Are we going to protect him by using more 12 personnel? Nope… Nick Vannett is the only TE we have available.
To be fair, it's likely we're better with Throckmorton and Hurst than Peat and an injured Mr. Glass.

Excited to see Ian play. Can't wait for Monday night. Lets go Saints!

I’ve been looking at some of Book’s games at Notre Dame and the first word that comes to mind watching him play is skittish. I see a lot of making one read and taking off running if it isn’t open.

Ordinary, that would be a bad thing but it might work in his favor tomorrow night because no-one will be open.

Thanks for crushing my hopes Chris. Lol

I think our WR's aren't quite getting a fair shake here. In the games I have seen in person we've consistently had open receivers, but perhaps not those that have been the first read. Between Siemian and Hill neither have shown much of an ability to make it through the progressions. On many occasions where the read has been wide open the pass has missed the target.

Brees made us extremely spoiled. Winston was better at it than what we have now. Book is the unknown.
