Five Takeaways From the Game...
Brees' amazing plays was the head storyline as it should, but there were five takeaways from this game that stood out for me...
One...Coby Fleener made clutch receptions... ...I have been his been one of his biggest critics here in our community, but since the haircut, he's really started to play hard and make some tough catches... ...now, it's still real early, but hopefully this is a game that he starts to build on and continues the great play... Two...Again, on offense, but Can't Guard Mike Thomas has become our No. 1 receiver and now leads the team in receptions; that's a rookie leading the team in receptions... ...with Snead working the slot, underneath routes and Cooks the most dangerous vertical threat, sleepless nights for the other kids... Three...Cam Jordan is underwhelming when you factor his contract number and even uglier is Jordan in space trying to contain his side of the field, much less bring pressure... ...Jordan wasn't going against the best pass protectors and got punked by Cam Jordan on a few plays, Edebali, a backup, outplayed him... Four...Drew Brees will have to be his own pass protections because injuries and neglecting development of the offensive line has created some real problems up front and will be the priority in the offseason... ...Brees just thought he was punched in the mouth, don't want to think about facing the Seahawks who'll hold and PI our receivers without penalty... Five...Great, great game by Kasim Edebali who showed up in a big way and played the run much better than previous games (though he did have some gaffes as well); really took advantage of the Panthers' backup O-line... ...Dennis Allen seems to have given up on this guy before he even took over, but Kasim has consistently graded our best pass rusher (PFF) all season... Worth mentioning is that we finally got to see Daniel Lasco on a few plays and the rookie who fell to us in the seventh round looks like a good fit to our offense; maybe it lights a fire under Marcus Murphy (our Darren Sproles proxy)... What were yours? |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
