Missed making in-game comment with our discussion, but this route by Cobbs was really bad-@ss...

He'd be a nice get in the underneath slot routes, if he could only be faster on the outside...

Taysom good
Teddy bad

Ellis is gonna make an impact.

Pretty sure he missed Harris for his stud list.

Saints :... "What position do you play?"

Taysom: ... "Yes" :p

Reading the board last night the overall feel was that we could have done much better. The receivers couldn't get open and the backs weren't showing much either. Apparently, teddy was under the weather....maybe he should have stayed home!

Re: USA Today/Saints Wire: 7 studs and duds from Saints preseason win over Chargers
 

Teddy definitely sucked, but it was one of those things where there was really nothing that anybody could do, because (1) you can't dare play Brees in preseason game #2 with this current O-line as a patchwork work-in-progress...(2) you can't play Taysom Hill the whole game either (injury risk)....(3) you don't have a journeyman "camp body" #4 backup QB to plug in there, because this team doesn't need a #4 journeyman "camp body" backup QB. So we were stuck with illin' Teddy and his dancing shoes. Burn the film. I'm over it. If Teddy has two more good games in preseason, we know to throw this one out. If he continues to struggle, well then you have a conversation. But if Coach Payton said he was sick, I take his word for it.

The second half with Taysom was one of the most ENTERTAINING halves of preseason Saints football I think I've ever watched!

Harris really stood out. The way he handles punts is electrifying. Felt like he was gonna break one with every return.

Re: USA Today/Saints Wire: 7 studs and duds from Saints preseason win over Chargers
 

I'm confused on this point. The starting O-Line from the game:

Newhouse
Peat
McCoy
Warford
Ramczyk

There's absolutely nothing patchwork about our starting 5 minus Armstead that Brees will be behind next week (with Armstead) and behind on Monday September 9th again with Armstead. That's a configuration the Saints have played a lot of games under in the last 2-3 years.

Did I miss something?

2-3 year configuration except for Armstead? Who ya watching brother?


Newhouse - Came from Panthers in the off season
Warford - Rookie
Not one player you referenced is in the LT depth chart behind Armstead.

Only Peat and Ramczyk have seen actual play time in a Saints jersey in our offense against an opponent.
