Yes, but like the lottery - you can never win if you don't buy a ticket.

Wasn’t able to watch the game but have it recorded.

No pass rush? In a year where your DC becomes your HC… That is deeply troubling.

Re: Observations from the Saints preseason loss to the Texans

* DB play was decent overall, with the exception of the last 2 minutes of the game. I have NO idea what kind of brain fart was happening at that point.

* Unknown what the TE situation will look like. Only one toss to Trautman and throws to Vannet being off target sort of muck things up. I hope our Hybrid shows out.

* I pray we put the Book experiment to bed once and for all. He's a NFL 3rd string QB... even if he was playing for the Jags.

* Special Teams looked kinda meh. Disappointing considering how that was a team strength last season.

* Penning needs work. He obviously has size and strength, but his footwork was atrocious and speed rush had him crossed up all night long.

* 'Mmmm-bop' Hansen looked like he's ready to step up.

* Jones looked good as a third option at RB.

The first string d-line was not dressed out at all. Neither was the rest of the key starters for that matter. The Texans offense did nothing until late in the 4th quarter when it was nothing but scrubs in the game.

For those that didn't see the game last night, Nielsen handled the defensive playcalling. Dennis Allen said he will be the playcaller starting the third preseason game and throughout the season.

This is pretty much the way I saw it, too.
