6 takeaways from the Saints' victory over the Browns

I’m watching the big Antonio Callaway TD over and over. It’s a weird defensive play call. We’re lined up in a 3-3-5 with Anzalone-Klein-Davis at LB. The safeties come up to play underneath zones while Lattimore, Klein and Crawley are covering deep thirds. Klein does a fantastic job picking up the TE up the seam and stays with him stride for stride. Crawley just gets beat on the post route. It looked kind of like this:

i have to look at it again also, I never heard of a coverage that will have the corners run and cover so much distance without help over the top. Unless they were in man, it's unlikely cause their were no blitz or pressure to the qb, i think. I gotta look at it again

Just seen the replay, I must admit, that was not cover 3, Crawley was in man or some kind of deep zone. Crawley played that coverage like he assume that Callaway didn't have the speed or Tyrod didn't have the arm strength, He absolutely was beaten

This is correct. Like I said last week, we need to leave the Cover 3 alone.

Didn't we run a lot of cover two successfully last year when we played our best ball? I read an article saying that cover one and three are weaknesses for us. This must be another case of DA following Payton while trying to out think the opponents.

From the clips I saw of us last year we still ran mostly 1 and 3. I haven’t looked at all the film though.
