Re: Saints stumble out the gate with penalties, turnovers vs. Patriots
We didn't stumble out of the gate. Drew came out firing a beautiful deep ball. Ingram fumbled but that is a rare thing and I'm not worried. The one's looked good on both offense and defense.

Re: Saints stumble out the gate with penalties, turnovers vs. Patriots
Speaking of the O line .... I re watched the Pats pre season game and focused on the offense this time.
A Peat still looks extremely raw to me. I understand he is being switched around however he was beaten pretty badly by a good defensive end. Not a elite DE one but good. He will face good ones every week. I'm hoping he develops but I just don't see it this year. FWIW, no one has emerged yet to seriously challenge Zach out of a starting job. UNGER looks to be in ELITE form thus far. |

I've also read that he did fine at LT in PS1, but struggled when he shifted to RT. Obviously the problem is that we already have a fantastic LT in Armstead who is also strictly a LT. Perhaps our mistake was assuming that Peat could easily adjust to RT. It doesn't look like thats the case at all. The footwork and mentality is completely different. |

all in all not bad.
Sticking with time to jell then pass judgement. |

Re: Saints stumble out the gate with penalties, turnovers vs. Patriots
Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers... they were the killers.
Set those aside and I saw some very good stuff. Much of it away from the ball. The defense looks like they come to play. That's huge. Give Dennis Allen a few more weeks and I think he's going to make us proud. O-line has some kinks to work out but were able to score adequately w/o Brees. Once the offense gets into a rhythm, its going to be something pretty. It's still early. But I like it. |
