Bottom Line:
The Saints have the Same problem now they have had for several years. No defense and a suspect offensive line. I don't know why more isn't said about the O-Line. Brees has his worst game since coming here. The play calling last night, in my opinion, was not very smart either. Drew will bounce back, and Deuce and Reggie will have many moments this year, but we're treading water until our O-Line is fixed/gels, whatever, and until we figure out how to play the run and pass in the same game.

Re: Thoughts...
Man, ESPN ripped us apart. But that's okay, they will be riding on that bandwagon real soon!

Yeah, I'd rather them rip us apart. Every time they start talking good about us and picking us to win over a big team we end up losing, like Thursday night.

Re: Thoughts...
Here are my thoughts on "thoughts":
(1) No one here expected us to go 16-0. No one. (2) Sure it is sucky that we lost this week, but at least it was to a good team playing well. (3) Our offense had a lot of problems. That is a concern. However, after the first 8 minutes or so of the second half we were playing catch-up. The thing that is most troubling here is that Brees lost his composure. If he stays calm, we're alright. (4) It is good to get the first loss out of the way early - this way the team isn't feeling invincible when we match up against division rivals (where it is more important that we get some Ws). (5) We didn't have any big personel changes on O, so lets call it bad play calling and first game jitters and expect better next week. |

It didn't look like the OL did very well in the game. The DL of the Colts was establishing the LOS 2 yards in the Saints backfield. But you have to keep running the ball to draw in the linebackers and the safeties. As an alternative you can spread the formation and clear out the underneath area. The Saints did this a bit in the second half. Johnson was really the only effective weapon later in the game.
Coach Payton still needs to learn that you do not let defenses dictate your playcalling. If a defense gears up to stop the run, you still keep running at them to make them committ. That sets up play action. It'll all be a distant memory after we take care of Tampa and right the ship. SFIAH |
