Big Play Devery
 

I've seen alot of talk about Karney, Deuce, and Reggie and I just wanted to mention Henderson. His big play receptions were a thing of beauty and had me holding my breath till he came down with them. What about that second effort getting in for the TD after he went up and grabbed that pass! Of course I give credit where credit is due and Brees looked like the six billion dollar Man completeing those passes.

"We can rebuild him, we can make him stronger...."

That was an outstanding throw and catch... kudos to him. Seeing how he disappeared last game, he was bound to do something good this game. Hopefully he'll show up next week.

One thing that bothered me in this game about Devery was the fact he ran out of bounds on that 4 and 1 reversal. I can't stand it when they don't lower their shoulder and get the extra yards. He easily had 3 more with those two blockers in front of him. Lewis and Henderson need to learn a little something from Deuce and Bush... finish off your runs goodness.

No doubt Colston needs to grab a hold of them boys and teach em that too. I love it when he trucks folks!

RE: Big Play Devery
 

I disagree with you about the 4th and 1. The last thing the Saints need is another injured receiver.

Or pansies on our football team... :annoy:

I think DH was making damn sure he got the first down by running pass the marker on the sideline. The players dont see that yellow stripe we see on the TV. I`d rather not see DH taking unneccessary hits in the open field. The goal was get the 1st down and keep Roho on the sidelines, mission accomplished.

and ditto what wheelman said.

RE: Big Play Devery
 

I think we should tell Bush to start running out of bounds also... I mean we wouldn't want him to get hurt. Come on now... it's football.

Re: RE: Big Play Devery
 

And DH played smart football. You know, that thing this team hadn't done in six years before this season.

RE: Re: RE: Big Play Devery
 

I see it as not giving 110% gaining the extra yard... you see it as smart football. Oh well it's just something we're going to just disagree about.

I think had we not scored on that drive or won the game, you might not be saying the same thing. But I guess we'll never know.

Re: RE: Big Play Devery
 

Or a fumbled ball. The object was to get the 1st down. Henderson did exactly that.

... or he breaks a tackle and takes it to the house. Oh gawd... might as well be playing two hand touch out there. Million dollar athletes that are afraid of contact... :| So should rb's stop churning their legs on a fourth and inches after they're pretty sure they have the first down? Nope... you get every inch you can.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Big Play Devery
 

It's always a dicey play papz. How many times have you seen a player get the ball stripped while trying to get that extra yard.

It's another aspect of the issue of a QB trying to thread a ball into a tight window. If he succeeds, it's a great play. If not, it's a Rex Grossman :D

The odds were against him I think. Weren't there like LB's waiting for him? Do you really expect him to truck these guys? What we really need to do is tell Reggie to hold the ball better. He still waves that thing around too much!!

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Big Play Devery
 

I understand what SFIAH and wheelman are both saying... hopefully you also see the point I was trying to make.

Not really Jeebs... he did have two blockers in front of him I believe. He might have taken a nice hit though because there were three Cowboys there. And yea, I expected him to truck those guys. 8) I like to see contact.

We smashed Dallas, we embarrassed Dallas, we owned Dallas, we`re 9-4 and watching most NFC teams struggling and striving to be where we are ..... and your complaint is that a 2nd string WR didn`t try to punish a host of LB`s and go for 3 extra yards on a 4th and 1? .... whatever.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Big Play Devery
 

Just because we smashed, embarrassed, owned Dallas... it doesn't mean we're a perfect team either buddy. There's always room to get better... and finishing out plays should be one of them.
