Finally, a "W"
Okay, we finally played a decent game. Reggie showed some flash, the o-line gave drew a little breathing room enough times, and the defense held up.

Things I noticed:

1) Usama Young showed some great athletic talent but poor decision making.
2) The pass defense looked porous.
3) Payton continues to show some really desperate play calls. (run on 3 and 8. drew's leap on 4th and 1.)
4) Fred Thomas put in for Usama.
5) Reggie showed some flashes of what he can do.
6) Brees looked awesome when he had time to let plays develop. Zero interceptions.
7) The Defense can blitz.
8) Simoneaux is the weakest link in coverage.
9) Mike McKenzie is very hot and cold. He stopped one touchdown and gave another away but he is the best pass defender we have.
10) Henderson is still dropping passes but thankfully not playing as much.
11) Lance Moore and David Patten looked great.

Summary: The game really seemed to hinge around the o-line and the defense getting pressure.
