I read an article by Underhill stating that what he observed against Arizona represented very little of the offense the Saints have been practicing in camp.

It's conceivable that a team would run vanilla plays especially in game 1 of the preseason. Why show your hand and while using backup players?

“Let’s see what happens…”

Re: OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SAINTS CARDINALS PRESEASON GAME
 

Exactly. They were talking about that very subject on NFL Radio a few days ago. They were saying that given the vast majority of players used extensively in preseason games were going to be either deep backups or not even on the final roster, trying to run your schemes, offensive or defensive, is a waste of time. They said all teams feel it is best to keep things "vanilla" and simply use the games to evaluate the players' basic abilities, be they physical or mental. They said scheme work is most effectively realized in regular practice, classroom, or walk throughs.

It makes sense since there are almost zero instances in the preseason games where the entire defense or offense plays more than a handful of snaps as a group, if any at all. Why give anything away if it adds little to no value?

Re: OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SAINTS CARDINALS PRESEASON GAME
 

Derek Carr completed 2 of 6 passes for 12 yards, Alvin Kamara had two carries for three yards, which in your own words… is an evaluation of players’ basic abilities. So yeah.

Re: OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SAINTS CARDINALS PRESEASON GAME
 

I think it was either drunk Hebert or maybe Ross J but they pointed out Isaiah Foskey played most of the second half & didn't register a single tackle. From my tv, he looks slightly bigger & is stiff as a board. The effort part seems to be lacking.

And I'll quote someone here ... "he is playing against fifth stringers" but I'll give him the benefit by saying 2's and 3's.

Isiah Foskey & Penning are BOTH looking like terrible HIGH draft selections. The Saints are in no position to miss on high picks.

Payton Turner stood out though.

Re: OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SAINTS CARDINALS PRESEASON GAME
 

Yeah, this offensive line has holes in it. Really hasn't improved in 3 years. Penning appears to not be able to handle the NFL. Praying some dudes step up to the plate and/or a miracle.

Re: OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SAINTS CARDINALS PRESEASON GAME
 

They had Ezirim taking reps at LT. Give him a shot a RT. That's what he played in college. Penning is just not good. Defenders get under his pads too easily. Terrible engagement and lean. No meanness or toughness. Young has played better than Penning. He's at least serviceable. Time to cut bait on Penning. Is what it is.
