I paid more attention to the defense ...

Rankins (intense motor) and Fairley looked good and will cause issues for offenses.
Edebali has improved his game this off season. Will be a threat.
Davison may become a beast int he trenches as he was constantly in the back field.

Our young rookie corners are learning (sure there is work to do but it's a start). Rarely did you hear PJ Williams named called. That's a good thing.

James L is a not a fast guy but he COMMUNICATES on the field. Guys weren't out of position or incorrectly lined up. Saw some nice good things stuffing the run early on.

Starting defense played well. I'm encouraged with the progress Coach Dennis is making thus far. They will continue to improve.

Oh and this without our best defensive player .. Cameron Jordan.

Side note: I hope Stephone Anthony is ok. I understand he was carted off last night right before the half.

I did notice offensively that COLEMAN could be in trouble. His game is not where it needs to be. He rarely reacts to the ball and doesn't seem to use his large frame in tight windows. This guy should be dominating in the flat. TommyLee or Harris could take his spot if he's not careful.

On the flip side ... MICHAEL THOMAS aka MR. ROOKIE is good. He is fearless and makes big catches. The stage isn't too big for him. I really like his style of play & swagger. His future is bright.

Improve, stay healthy and get better every week is my hope for this team.

Euphoria

This is why you don't read to much into what you hear coming out of camp.

The only two things I head from camp that actually made sense based on the game was WR Thomas and WR TOMMY LEE.

None of the rest matched to what I saw on the field last night.

Euphoria

Grayson - I just didn't see anything that would warrant keeping him. Maybe practice Squad if he lasts that long but didn't see much growth. He needs to come out and make statements that he can be a back up and even take Bree's spot when he retires and not seeing it.

It was a Saints game without Brandon Browner anywhere on the field or sidelines, therefore I was very interested in watching the defense again.

The first 3 series for the Pats amounted to 25...I didn't think the starters on d played bad at all. The Dline looked very good. The 2nd qrter things fell apart some, we let up a td and fg and they had 192 yards of offense. I truly felt the interior pressure, especially from davidson was good. Edibali had two sacks. Fairley looked quick to get inside on a few plays, too quick on one that he over ran the play. I saw reason for optimism on D, but let's see how we continue and what happens in the dome week 1

Your team stinks

st thomas

luke m. was disappointing, he did'nt play like we've seen him play in pass 2 years, was throwing off back foot when he had time. throwing it up for grabs was ugly, no height on ball to help receiver, was he pissed because he had clean up roll with the 2s and 3s 4s 5s. i have to give nod to grayson except his first play, that was a turable call, anyway. payton loooked teed off because of 20 flags that were bone headed and that can't be coached.

Marcus Murphy could be a very special player in the special teams area however those muffs/fumbles have got to stop.

Would really like to see TommyLee back on punts/kick offs next game. This could be his spot to take.

WillMacKenzie

Agreed. Marcus Murphy was already on my bad side for putting the ball on the ground too many times on punts. And last night, he did it again, but the Patriots let him off the hook.

I hope he and Brandon Coleman get cut immediately.

I've come to call Coleman "Mouse," cause he plays like one.

exile

Mostly ugly in my view. Bad calls on D and absolutely not much after the first string players.

They have a long way to go to beat 7-9 from last year. At least at this point of preseason.

One announcer put it best: "This team has a one superstar and a few above average players. But, it has a whole lot of average types."

The Dude

By bad calls do you mean coaching? It's preseason and they don't put to much into calls. They are more focused on mechanics and putting players in the best position to judge where they are. Murphy cleans up fumbles and he's dangerous.
