Never take any opponent lightly when you're "supposed" to win. Especially, in the Dirty South!
Last year when we played Carolina, a QB who threw for 47 yds., 2 INTs, Sacked 2 times, and had a QB Rating of .... wait for it... 2.8... WON! Hit them hard! Hit them often! And score! Let's get it done |

Re: Week 2 - Saints @ Panthers
If you get a chance, check out the film study Rev Windham did on the interior D-line play.
Saunders & Roach were getting it done in those trenches. That interior "push" was getting there. Something that we missed last year. By the way, Carl Granderson's hand technique is impressive & he's strong. Saints are getting a lot of praise offensively, however, for me, it's that defensive front and secondary. You stop the run, you make teams one-dimensional & subsequent turnovers. Saunders (his gap discipline is solid) was a key signing this off-season. |

Re: Week 2 - Saints @ Panthers
I don't know about not missing Turner much. He was looking like he had finally turned the corner and was getting pressure throughout training camp. I think he'll be missed even if Foskey gets all of his snaps.

Re: Week 2 - Saints @ Panthers
The human turnstile (Throckmorton) may be starting for Carolina this week with the loss of their starting left guard. We definitely know his weaknesses.

Source: https://saintswire.usatoday.com/2022...player-grades/ He's clearly a player who can make an impact as evidenced by the play he got hurt on. Injuries obviously derailed him. And then did again. And now, unfortunately another freak injury will sideline him until December (estimating). My take is that he'll come back in December. Make some splash plays in the playoffs but we ultimately won't pick up the 5th year option and we'll hopefully have a great player on a friendly contract who can be a great value in 2024. Foskey needs to prove he deserves to be on the field. |
