Impressive push from interior DLine there. Ticked off very precious time off the clock.

They are becoming the strength of this D, like our LBs last year.

To me it would be more productive to pull Drew out and get a reciever in there. At least the receiver is more of a threat to catch a pass or maybe even block.

I just don't get the whole thing. But, whatever. We won, that's all that matters.

I’ve been screaming this all year. Everytime Brees lines up outside, it reminds me of the play last year when J. Cutler lines up at receiver and just stands there. Take Brees out and but in a receiver, to make the defense honest.

He plays the deep ball much, much better than KCrawley.

For a guy who just signed & inserted into a starting role on short notice ... this was encouraging.

One of Apple’s best plays was when he got beat on the double move, instead of let the receiver catch the ball for a score, he tackled the guy. That forced Minny to use all 4 of their downs to score.

Replace one or two of the three QB's with a receiver?

What's a receiver going to do? Possibly Pass? NO We don't have Snead anymore!

To start, there was a play where Brees lined up wide, the back covering him was looking in the backfield the entire time, slowly creeping towards the action. The same DB crashed the line hard at the snap and was active on the play. Stick a playmaker out there to keep guys for creeping.

If you go back and look, 29 knocks him down, literally. Apple falls and as he is falling he grabs his leg, lmmfao, that really was an outstanding play
