Re: I really don’t see anything that we have done this offseason to improve this team.
No, we only played three playoff teams last year not including division teams. We relied on Ingram to get a crucial first down and we settled for a FG against Minnesota. We fell behind against the rams in a winnable game because of the game plan to stop Ingram. The rams weren't a great run defense last year, so that plan was genius. But SP was so slow to react to the rams throwing a wrinkle into his pre-planned playcalling. Everyone can say we had no Lattimore, but we had Lattimore when an inferior offense to the rams put up 30 on us in the playoffs. Now some have said that had Kamara gotten more touches they would have caught on and stopped him. Kamara's big runs was what got us in the redzone or endzone to get our only TDs in that game. Without Kamara in that game, we get blown out.

We need Ingram for those unpredictable games. Those teams who can't stop the run and are not a great team. The division rivals who we play twice a year we need him for those. But SP needs to open his eyes when it comes to big time matchups. Our offense is predictable pre-adjustment for the most part. It wasn't against Carolina, as we used the one obvious weapon against them to open that game from the get go.....Ginn Jr. But generally, we are nothing surprising in the pre-planned plays. Thomas and Kamara have proven that talent sometimes exceeds trickery. There was no excuse not to use either on that big third down.

" We relied on Ingram to get a crucial first down and we settled for a FG against Minnesota." Not sure what you're talking about, we only kicked one field goal against the Vikes in the playoff game and Ingram didn't get a carry on that whole series. "We fell behind against the rams in a winnable game because of the game plan to stop Ingram. The rams weren't a great run defense last year, so that plan was genius.

Without Kamara in that game, we get blown out." The Saints gained 123 rushing yards against the Rams. The running game was working. On the other hand Goff went 28 of 43 for 354 yards and 2 touchdowns. Not having Lattimore and Crawley in that game definitely had a huge impact. Most people that saw the game felt that was the difference. It seems like you're going out of your way, even making things up, to belittle Ingram when the truth of the matter is, he was excellent last season. |
