Observations from the Saints' preseason loss @ GB

Ian Book sucks !?

To be fair, nobody good played this game. Except maybe Olave and Pending.

Jury is still out not the RB battle.

Think only DT played well was Roach. Huggins, Black, eenie meanie miney moe etc....all looked pretty bad. Sewell look nice. Ozigo ran well. Tony did too. Abram looked like he ran well when watching but the stats showed something different, the oline looked pretty bad too though. 55 looked 👌 Did Dowell see the field? He always making special teams plays and I feel like he has some Jo-lunn Funbar in him. Dixon on those last throws ran some lazy routes and.gave no real effort to catch the throws. Ian had some good and some not so good plays I honestly don't thing he played "bad" per say I actually like how he played insert oline play "here" along with his impatience. I do feel they gave him a good pocket at times and he broke bread a little too fast. Would like to see him sit and read a little more other than that he played fine IMO. I would like to see some mire diversity in the playbook next game I know It's pre-season but give me a lil something.

Our poor defense against the cutback runs concerned me. And some bad penalties on both sides of the ball.
The big-time kicking of Lutz and Gillikin was the big bright spot.

Don't forget that most of that poor defense isn't going to be on the team in ten days.

Agree with all of this.

He's not an NFL-caliber QB that's for sure.

* Wil Lutz with a 59-yarder. I'd say he is ready for the season.

* Gillikin kicking the ball like it stole his girl. There was some real boomers in there.

* With the above two I'd say the kicking game is in good shape. Camp body missing a kick at the end of the game doesn't matter.

* Penning just keeps bodying players in the running game and I love it. He showed a slight improvement in pass pro and it looked like he tried to keep his hips square a lot more than last game.

* Tony Jones Jr. is the only RB that looked anywhere near decent. I don't see why Ozigbo is even on the roster right now.

* Jon Bostic looked pretty good. Might be a good depth signing for us.

* Ian Book looks indecisive and slow to read. If there are nobody open and the pocket are collapsing throw somebody open, run or throw it away. Don't always dump it to the RB with a LB steaming down on him.

* Passrush looked better but they need to finish plays.

* O-line as a unit was a patchwork and it showed. So much of what you do depends on you having practised with the guy next to you and being a well rehersed unit that can function as one. Didn't see that.
