Observations from the Saints defeating the Giants 14-11

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I would have joined in, but I had to wash my dead grandmother's hair at the dentist. Seriously, though, I'm paying attention, just choosing not to whinge incessantly....

Re: Observations from the Saints defeating the Giants 14-11

It is nice that Bresee made some highlights but I am not sold. The kind of highlights I want to see most from a 1st round DT are him personally beating his man and stuffing a run or catching the QB off guard. In my opinion his sack came on a collapsed pocket where someone else would have sacked the QB if he didnt, and likely the oline had lost track of where the QB was and tried to keep Bresee in front of him but ended up leading Bresee into a collapsed pocket with the QB. Had the oline been aware of where the QB was and stayed between them, that sack doesnt happen. On the blocked kick, its nice that Bresee has hurdling skills, but I would not call it the most athletic play. He looked like Rocksteady or Beebop from a ninja turtles video game my kids plays at Chuck E Cheese. He raised his arms in the right time at the right place as his legs were nearly crumpling underneath him, and it looked very awkward and risky. Ultimately its a play that a guy his size can only try about 5-10 times before he ends up in a hospital bed next to Zion. I want to see power and speed from Bresee, not hurdling and the luck of being in the right place and time. I still just see a big clumsy awkward guy with reach who seeks highlights while ignoring the fundamentals of his position.
