Game balls
 
Dish them out baby, let's go.

Offense - It was close between Ingram and Armstead, but I gave it to our young LT who did a great job against a seasoned vet in Trent Cole. The line gave Brees ample time to throw and there were holes for our running backs.

Defense - Cameron Jordan - 1.5 sacks and helped keep McCoy to 77 yards rushing.

MVP - Call him Graham... Shanye Graham. I didn't cringe one friggin' time.

Hard to argue with those selections.

Offense - Ingram. Ran hard, broke tackles. His vision looked better. He still zigged when he should have zagged a couple of times, but much better than what we've seen previously

Honorable mention - Robinson and the O-line. Khiry has some legit star potential. He will be PT's replacement in a few years.

Defense - Deion Sanders, err I mean Keenan Lewis. The dude is one of the best CB's in the game today. The lock-down silencer.

Honorable mention - Cam Jordan. As we sometimes do with Brees, we may soon have to start the "other than Cam Jordan, the game ball goes to"...

Also: Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins - Only because many said they'd be targeted all game, they're a liability in coverage, they're the worst safeties on the NFL, they'll get abused blah blah blau. Neither played great but considering the Jason David-esque attacks on both of them, they deserve some credit.

Here here! Harper was excellent. The only time he got burned was on that TD when Foles had a minute and half to throw the ball. I didn't call Malcom a :censored: once!

And on that touchdown Harper gave up, I don't remember it being terrible coverage... I'll have to re-watch the game and make sure though

D- Kennan Lewis
honerable mention -the rest of the D
O-O-line, Ingram and Robinson
honerable mention-Brees and the recievers including Jed Collins
I liked the way the Saints played last night we will be hard to beat if we continue to play as a whole!!

Harpers pass break up on their TE awesome, (and I swear I'm not picking) that Riley Cooper TD in the back of the end zone..... Seriously Roman!!!!

Coverage wise, he was step for step with Cooper until he fell.

I have been a Saints fan too long to have not cringed. But, I would have been cringing harder had it been Hartley out there.

Re: Game balls
 
Offense: Ingram. Definitely glad we kept him

Defense: Keenan Lew . You saw the void he filled when he was taken out definitely need him back.

MVP : SP .. I know ur like wahhht but he made the call to get rid of Hartley and there for gave us a clutch kicker.

Sean Payton - because he finally focused on the run and I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to do so. ;)

I might be wrong, but if I remember correctly, Foles had literally all day to throw on that Cooper TD. When the DL can't get to the QB after about 5 or 6 seconds, that is on the DL - not the secondary.

Agree.. Hicks is a monster in run support.

His mind said yes, but his body said no.
His mind said, take one more step, jump and knock the ball away(catching it never crossed his mind).
His body made him trip over his own feet trying to make that happen.
A+ for hussle and determination, B on the execution.
He crossed that T but just couldn't get that I dotted.
Harper played a good game and for 59:51 his coverage was very good.

Ingram gets my ball. Start to finish he was planting his foot and turning up the field.
Armstead gets honorable mention, but Ingram carried the day.
Jordan on defense.
Graham on ST.
Hopefully, now that "can't win on the road" monkey can go find a new grinder.
