Week Six: Saints @ Texans

Force them to throw it and I have confidence in those DB's to shut it down.

These guys are conditioned to swarm tackle. Spread them out on offense and take the small chunks they give you to score.

Rookie QB. Team is on the road for a second week after a big win. I don’t have a warm fuzzy about this game. Then again, I haven’t had a warm fuzzy about the Saints in a while. Point is Mayfield tore us up, and there were plays for the Pats to make, but Jones sucks. Stroud doesn’t suck.

I posted the above right before the Carolina game. We can now update those numbers to "Dennis Allen led defenses are 10-2 against rookie QB's facing the Saints. And the Saints were something like 16-6 since 2006 when facing rookie QB's."

We can now look at facing rookie QB's as a positive instead of a negative. I know. It's a hard habit to overcome as fans, but it's been almost 20 years since we had that rookie QB jinx going on. It just goes to show how old we are.

I like that that we are playing well on the road after pitching a shutout last week. The team should be highly motivated internally this week to show that last week wasn't a fluke.

Carr isn't much better than Jones he's just in a better situation.

You really think Carr isn’t much better than Jones?

I was thinking the same thing BS. I don't think there's any metric where they're even close!

Sometimes, you just gotta let some folks go on and talk their crazy talk.
