Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Ravens

My Ravens Game Post Mortem

The Uppers

- Defense had good pressure and containment on Jackson. (I just don’t see how you tackle a guy who can fumble the ball on the run, pick it up under pressure, and then hawk it 40+ yards downfield.)

- Good effort from all of the receivers who really did all that they could to keep the game interesting.

- Special Teams looked good with Shaheed handling the run backs.

The Downers (There’s a bunch so I’ll just hit a few.)

- Coaches are back to HIGHLY predictable offensive play calling and zero creativity with respect to Red Zone scoring efficiency. What happened in a week?

- If Dalton is struggling, why NOT use Hill more often under center...and not just so he can keep it to run for 4 yards.

- Not sure if it was because of shadowing Jackson, but Drake looked like Emmit Smith for no good reason.

- Roquan Smith wrecked shop. I got nothing.

- Dalton. How do you just go back to holding the ball (again) after doing such a great job of getting rid of the ball quickly the previous week? Also, missing a wide open Callaway? What in the the Blue Hell was THAT ish? Just when it looks like things are starting to click… we get a Red Ryder BB Gun instead of the fabled Red Rifle!

Mixed Bag
- Gilliken. Is this the same dude who got drug tested after booting the ball 80 yards?

- Has anyone done analysis on our injuries on Turf vs. Grass? Does the Dome need to be resurfaced to get our guys out of the blue tent?
