Observations from Saints' victory vs Chargers

dizzle88 · 08-21-2023, 12:04 PM

Foskey said in his post-draft interview, that there's no better player to learn from than Cam Jordan.

If a player is still learning, you can excuse miscues as they grow but he looks bored and dejected out there.

Something that absolutely won't be excused is poor effort and I hope DA is making sure of that.

An example, I know Junior Galette ended here on very bad terms, but can anyone remember him in Preseason as a rookie?

He literally never stopped running, going after QB's, chasing bubble screens, chasing ball carriers. And it showed, because come gameday in 2013, if Cam didn't get you, Galette did.

Foskey really needs to step up, at this stage, Lalos definitely deserves a roster spot over Foskey.

Almost like the Pierre Thomas / Antonio Pittman preseason.

Maybe I have missed some info, or insight from others, but what are the chances for the Merriweather kid at RB? I think he’s looked pretty decent so far, has a pretty crowded position group, but maybe as a special teaser or practice squad body.

Final recap on the Bolts/Saints game:

Bresee has made plays & "flashed" in games.
Foskey badly needs more reps & needs to develop more moves (that was his knock by a lot of scouts).
AT Perry did the most with his reps & likely secured a roster spot.
Haener looks confident, poised and in control under center. No way he's cut.
Payton Turner has performed well & the pressure is there. Not sure what the hell Jeff Duncan is watching at practice.
Penning aka Junk Yard Dawg has to improve with his technique. You can't "whiff" against legit DE's in the league. That will get your QB seriously injured.

Collectively, the Saints need to correct the mental (penalties) errors. It will cost you on Sundays.

I watched the first half.

D line looked pretty sharp. Eased some earlier concerns. Hope they continue to gel.
I hope a valuable O lineman presents himself on the waiver wire.
Jaylon Smith passed Zach Baun on the depth chart having been with the team a whopping seven days...
Jameis is there to coach up the second string. He holds the ball too long and throws into impossible windows.
Penning needs to show more and I hope he plays at least another half game next week.
We may have a better WR room than I gave credit for after all...

Heard Haener settled in and played well.

This may not be Saints related but it sure is cringeworthy that the Jets fans think they are going to win the Super Bowl. Watching Greeny basically drool over Aaron Rodgers on ESPN is so bad. Let's all make a vow that we never become that obnoxious. Also, Carr will be better than Rodgers(made it Saints related).

Agree that Carr will out perform Rodgers.

I love watching Greenie get his hopes up every year. It's just like the Cowboys rub from Stephen A.

I can definitely see how they think that since two of the last three Superbowls were Brady joining the Bucs and winning it all his first year and Stafford joining the Rams and winning it all his first year. This seems like a similar situation except Rodgers has less than 6 and more and than 0 previous rings. I don't think the Jets are on the level of the Chiefs, Bills, and Bengals but I can see how they are close and I wouldn't rule it out. They could be on the level of the NFC elites like Philly and SF but they don't have the easier playoff path of the NFC. Someone has to win it all and I could see ranking them something like 7th on the probability list. If Saleh can bring a 49ers caliber defense, Sauce continues to be a shut down corner, and Rodgers imports the Green Bay offense you can't rule it out. Their oline leaves some doubts though.
