Saints/Rams broken down, play-by-play

homerj07 · 08-10-2014, 06:37 PM

I really think having a good fullback will help the running game. A lot.

Jack Vegas · 08-10-2014, 08:54 PM

Agreed. I think everybody myself included thought Jed Collins was a lot better than he actually was. It didn't dawn on me until the end of the season when we were using a singleback set and running the ball all over the field that he wasn't all he could've been.

Looking forward to second quarter.

Yeah Jed really hasn't made an impression on me. There has got to be a better FB on the market somewhere. I don't mind them using a TE in that spot.

Austin Johnson made a couple nice blocks for Ingram on some those stretch plays, the first run of the game Austin made a block that allowed Ingram to cut back inside

I was impressed with Austin Johnson last pre-season. I think we could roll with him all day long if Lorig misses some games.

I like his nasty attitude. Former LB turned FB. You know he loves skull crushing hits.

And Jed was serviceable, but I never thought he was as good as his hype.

We also signed Greg Jones yesterday, I believe... There's another FB, Lorig may miss some time

Jack, thank you for all of the hard work you put into not only collecting all of this but transposing and posting for us to digest.

Appreciate you brother!

Second quarter here:

I don't think I'll be doing the second half, it's just too time-consuming. I enjoyed doing it, but I've just got too much life going on this week.

Vonte Leach was a Former LB turned FB and happened to become one of the best blocking full backs ever to play the game

Ran both Arian foster and Ray Rice to their best Rushing seasons

If Austin can be half as successful as that guy we could be onto a winner
