OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SAINTS CARDINALS PRESEASON GAME

K Major · 08-10-2024, 10:23 PM

The bad …

Carr still has no control of this offense.
Trevor Penning has slow feet & still lost. LT, RT, he’s not good at either spot.
Isaiah Foskey is super stiff. Has no moves & seems to fade at the point of attack.

The good

Kool aid is a good looking rookie DB
Chase Young is impressive off the edge
Bresee is disruptive
Collectively, the defense played well
It’s early but Rattler looks the part

3. Spencer Rattler is clearly the future of this franchise. The ball jumps out of his hands with velocity. He scrambles effectively and efficiently as well. Can we trade Carr for an offensive lineman? Rattler needs to start.

4. I like James Robinson. I also like big bro Nacua. Holker looked great as well. Kool Aid? A dog.

Abhorrent field conditions for an NFL field. Looked like a HS field.

I'm with Rez, trade Carr for an OL. Who would want him is the problem .

Both Haener and Rattler had their moments. Their style of play differs. Haener showed flashes of his Fresno St production and bravado. Rattler looks more fluid and comfortable. Did we see a Brett Farve-esque hard ass throw no one else in that QB room can perform? He might be the closest thing to Mahomes (that's too high an evaluation at the moment).

Defense looks improved.

The kicking game also.

Round 2 next week.

Who's going to Yulman's stadium for that scrimmage?
