Re: ELI APPLE
Well what we saw was a talented player being coached up to play to his talents.
The penalties and bone headed coverages he had been doing since we traded for him was horrible. He certainly wasn't worth the trade up until this game last night. Broken up plays the int. I got excited for him. Shows you how good are the coaches we have and the talent scouts are doing. |

Re: ELI APPLE
It's the team. This defense is greater than the sum of its parts. They are all coming together, they believe in each other, and together they are playing above all of their collective individual abilities. You can see it in how they react after every play. A guy makes a nice tackle, and someone else is always right there pulling him up from the ground and popping his helmet, congratulating him. They affirm each other when they do good, and they talk about it in deep talks on the sidelines like brothers, when something is going badly. Somebody gets a stop on 3rd down and they all fist bump and dance, together. And when something really amazing happens, they take a group photo.
And the coaches, too, of course. But I think the main thing we are seeing with this defense, is that these guys really do believe in themselves, and they play every snap like it's a step on the journey, like they are trying to get somewhere, trying to get from HERE to THERE. They believe in it. So do I! |

Re: ELI APPLE
Eli Apple says the Saints are bringing out the best in him
"Apple has started eight games for the Saints and already has more interceptions as a Saint than he had in two and a half years as a Giant — including a big interception in Monday night’s win over the Panthers. Apple thinks he’s in the right place." https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...e-best-in-him/ |
