Re: Observations from Saints' victory vs Chargers
 

In general, I'm OK with the team's overall performance. If I'm nit-picking (and keeping in mind that the starters aren't reall present for most plays) here's what looks like it needs to be addressed going forward:

On Offense: Consistent run blocking. (I'm looking at you Penning!); Dropping the ball after Reception; Receivers standing around acting like they don't know what to do when the play is extended;

On Defense: No swarm tackling (I'm looking at you DA!); Red Zone D overall; DB assignment confusion; Run Defense!!!

Maybe this is just what the 2nd and third stringers are showing us, but it makes me more than a little antsy.

Amen to the swarm tackling ... I clearly remember Roby acting as an observer on a tackle or two rather than help bring down a runner/receiver.

And that's kinda what new DC Joe Woods was known for up in Cleveland.

Guess it's still early though.

“Saints fans want Winston to start week 1 over Carr”

Show me ONE Saints fan that wants that.

We need to move Winston now before the rest of the league finds out that he holds the ball too long and takes too many sacks. Haener is already playing better than Winston has.

Re: Observations from Saints' victory vs Chargers
 

Haener still hasn’t worked against other teams #1 Ds yet. I still think a cautious Winston is a better backup. He really hasn’t done anything to shoot the team in the foot like a TO and he has made a nice throw or three.

Just go out to Twitter (or X now). They are definitely out there. These are just a few. There are tons more. :rolleyes:

This post is dead on. Windham knows what he is talking about and does film study for a living. Penning had ONE play where he was made to look bad. That's all anyone remembers.
