B&G,

Go back and re watch the tape. He gave the offense the ability to stretch the field. Did you notice how the safeties could not sit inside the box? They weren't able to cheat on those routes.

Crossing patterns ? check.
Slant patterns ? check
In and out routes ? check

He is soooo much more valuable than just catching a pass. The guy performed like an experienced vet at WR.

As for my thoughts on the game...
Defense was dominated today, Cam Jordan looks like a fool for running his mouth. Hard to say if it was bad coverage or poor play calling, but one thing I know is that Ben played a perfect game and we let him do it. Next to no pressure for the guy, and when there was pressure he flushed out of the pocket easily and had all day. Ben is one of the best passers when he breaks out of the pocket or extends the play, and our lack of pressure allowed this all day. The only pressure came from blitzing LBs and we often got beat when doing that.

- nice to have Ginn back
- #64 needs to be cut
- where is Davenport?
- Marcus Williams who?
- Dennis Allen got worked this week by a simple offensive concept
- Kamara still has the juice
- Refs blow a ton of calls on both sides
- Apple played better than Lattimore

If our D line plays this way in the play offs we’ll be in trouble. If we don’t get healthy on our O line it’s going to be a quick run..

Alvin Kamara's uncanny balance was on display throughout the first half. He broke a pair of tackles on his 8-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and scored standing up while leaving two Steelers defenders prone and perplexed in his wake. Later, he weaved his way through a wave of Steelers defenders and tight-roped the sideline on a 31-yard catch and run to set up a Lutz field goal just before the end of the half. The latter gave the Saints a 17-14 halftime lead and momentum after surrendering a 97-yard touchdown drive in the final minute of the first half. Kamara has many skills as a runner, but his remarkable balance might be his most impressive asset. NFL defenders can't seem to knock him off his feet.
