If you are not getting to the QB, how about manufacturing pressure? And I'm not talking about Safety blitzes by Matthews you can spot from the cheap seats. |

Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to the Cardinals
Pass rush is an issue but the rushers aren't the problem. Poor secondary play affects the pass rush as well as no push from the DT who IMO have played far worse than the DE. There are less stunts happening from previous years. There isn't anybody out there that's going to come in change anything. Saints have been playing very vanilla on both sides of the ball. As well as lack of execution. If QBs are getting the ball out in 3 secs damn near every play that's on the dline that means guys are getting beat quick. Trey Henderson didn't register a sack against the Saints just saying.

Re: Observations from the Saints Loss to the Cardinals
This game is like the whole season in a nutshell. IMHO our biggest problem isn't injuries, it isn't the quaility of the roster but it is inconsistency. We are unable to string together good play for more than a drive or a couple of drives at a time. When either the O or the D plays good they are great.
the first couple of drives against the Cardinals the O looked like som offences of old, this with a backup QB, backup LG (and LT) and our 3-6th string WRs. Same thing with the D, when it comes together we have a great D but a lot of time there are breakdowns at multiple places. * What happened to Onyemata? He has been pretty much invisible so far and a lot of our problems with passrush stems from this. * Alontae Taylor had a good first showing. He should be able to use this as a stepping stone to grow from. * I know we gave up a lot to get him but I am really happy Chris Olave is a Saint. * D-line did a good job of limiting Murrays running lanes for most of the game. We need to get more hits on the QB thou to get him uncomfortable back there. * Rough game for the DBs, down to a PS-player and a rookie as starting CBs i wasn't hoping for miracles but they would have needed a little more help from the safties. * I love Honey badger and want him to be goo dfor us but right now he isn't showing nothing. * Kevin White continues to be an enigma. Great athleticism on display on that long catch and run. * Rashid Shaheed must be kept at almost any cost. That type of speed is rare. Size wise he compares well to Tyreek Hill and I could see him fill a similar role in our offence. * Andy Dalton just lost the chance of staying the starter, for now. I think the pick in the endzone was the worst throw. That should have just been thrown away. Not much to say about the Callaway pick, that ball was in the right place. The last pick looked like him trying to will himself back into the game, he has enough experience to know better. * O-line as a whole doesn't look too bad. We run the ball decently and there isn't a tremendous amount of pressure on the QB. |
W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.
