The future look bright!!

lee909 · 08-12-2016, 10:51 AM

Im watching the first half now.
Bad KO timke for me last night so only saw the 2nd half.

If nothing else was seen last night the improvment on 3rd Downs was there to see.

Got gauged a couple of times on the run but look better overall.
Nobody is saying this is the second coming of the early 2000 Ravens but with this offense it doesnt need to be. get somewhere in that 12-20 realm and the Saints will win more than they loose.

Plenty to work on,a pissed off coach but some good spots too.
Dont want everything looking pretty through the start of preseason. that normally goes to players heads. Keep them hungry until September

Anyone forgetting that Brees was only in the game for three plays?

Or that Brady, Edelman and Gronk weren't?

You still have to play well against whomever is out there. Our 1st string guys did just that.

Our 1st string running back fumbled on a 2 yard carry near the red zone.

this team has got to get over the penalty/turnover and lack of takeaway stereotype in order to be competitive.

Some of the players looked great and it's easy to get excited but I understand the posters that are not impressed with what they saw. Just my opinion but last years biggest problem on defense was stopping the run and there wasn't anything Thursday night to suggest they've gotten any better.

2015 vs run - 4.9 ypa
Thursday vs run - 5.0 ypa

I'll remain optimistic and believe they'll get better as they gel.

The other thing about the future looking bright...

We aren't set up to win in the future we are set to win NOW. Bree's isn't getting any younger. We don't have a replacement on our roster for when he does that was evident.

Our future looks like 8-8, 7-9, 8-8, 8-8, 7-9.

It looks bright, but only if...
They find a way to get on the + side of the turnover ratio,
They run stop a lot better,
They open field tackle like the other guy stole something...
Brees stays healthy.
