Observations from Saints' victory vs Chargers
 

Did Haener win QB2?

Kendre Miller is good.

Lalos and Shaq Davis show us something. Summers too.

Overall interesting and a good eval for those players trying to make the team.

Can the Saints go 23-0 ?

We have some legit receiving threats. Penning is disappointing. Really impressed by Haener. Too many penalties. Didn't watch every minute but were there any injuries?

The fact NY can call a player off the field at their descression is absolute B.S. Haener looked fine after that hit.

Too many penalties folks.

24 in two games.

Flag city ain’t gonna cut it.

The way Haener threw the ball tonite should answer a lot of questions on his place with the team. 11-17 118 yards could have been much better if Krull could have hung on to 2 very well placed throws.

I liked his pocket presence, scrambling ability and decision making. His arm is stronger than it’s been portrayed and his throw are accurate or placed where only his guy can get to it.

Jameis … one great throw then throws it into quadruple coverage in the end zone. That kind of mind numbing play is just not acceptable … preseason or not. He shows no pocket presence, never seems to be in the same place so his coverage breaks down and when the first read does not happen, it ain’t pretty.

This may sting but Isaiah Foskey shows nothing.

Re: Observations from Saint's victory vs Chargers
 

Jameis Winston is laughing all the way to bank. We don’t save a penny if we cut him so he is guaranteed to make the team. Then in 2024 we owe $11 million if he walks, so Loomis will likely offer him more to stay and defer the cap hit.

Nick Kroll does not have what it takes to play TE in the NFL.

We should go young at WR. There is more upside.

Andrus Peat should have been playing for his job today. Giving him the game off sends the wrong message.

As a pass rusher Foskey has the killer instinct to close plays of a cast member at a haunted house pretending like he might grab someone.

Haener makes quick decisions, hits the seems, and is accurate on many throws. Winston is clumsy on the short and intermediate stuff so teams dont have to respect that and he has to throw into double coverage or worse deep. But like I said his contract makes Winston a Saint for life. He may be alright with our starting receivers who are better jump ball deep threats.

The refs showed once again they will screw us. This has to count minus 2-3 wins for our season.

Chargers MVP: Refs

Saints MVP: Easton Stick

I don't know how Kendre Miller is supposed to stay healthy or even make any yardage gains when the O line whiff blocks and he gets hit as he takes the hand-off.

Penning, touted for his run blocking ability, had one of the worst whiffs I've ever seen on a stretch run play.

The Chargers managed to get an unblocked sack, when sending only 4 people because our left guard just turned the complete opposite way. I know some of these guys won't play, but many might because our O line is injury prone.
Not a good look.

Payton Turner with a good sack and force fumble, that Bressee picked up.

I think Foskey is gonna find his way onto IR magically this year, he simply does not look like he can play at the NFL level. Maybe they redshirt him.

Lalos outplayed him and pretty sure that guy was an UDFA.

Re: Observations from Saint's victory vs Chargers
 

I find myself crossing my fingers and hoping for the best when Winston drops back.
He looks clumsy and shaken.

Jaylon Smith. A BIG, if is coming. If Jaylon Smith plays consistently like he did last night, questions about our LB depth may be answered. Playing like he played, may I say the order of our LB depth could be reordered.

Payton Turner continues to prove me correct. When he plays, his number gets called for all the right reasons.

We talked about this last season numerous time... discipline doesn't seem to be on Allen's radar. If the coach doesn't drive it, and the veterans do not have it, the rookies have no place to get it.
