You know who I am really sick of?

PJ Williams.

The guy celebrates when he knocks people out of bounds and then blows coverage after coverage.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

It was Williams beaten by Stills for the TD wasn't it

Booga mac. Was cudoing Romeo Grendel tonite how’s he’s the best in the game at 70 years plus then on the last play was calling his prevent deFense dumb. Has to chuckle. At the booga

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

The bad defense was more a result of not having and DTs... which meant we had to blitz more to get pressure.

It was a bad gameplan by the D... you shouldn’t blitz Watson, but DA felt like he needed to.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

I wish P-Rob was healthy.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

It was Lattimore I think.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Nah it was definitely PJ Williams. #26.

Latt was on Hopkins.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

We had 5 or six sacks not a bad nite

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Yeah looks like 26

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

It takes DA a half a season to get it rite

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Yeah I think Onyemata will close the gaps that Watson was escaping from and stop the early runs

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

This game also shows that Sean needs to change his preseason routine of letting the 1st string offense barely get any snaps. That's why they looked flat at the start. Same with the Defense. They need more snaps in the preseason.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Yep. It was PJ. PJ looked like he was supposed to help Lattimore on that Hopkins slant for a TD too.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Unbelievable game. We need Onyemata back. Run D must improve. Lack of pass rush forced us to blitz too much. Hendrickson played better than Davenport. Dennis Allen again with this 3rd defense...

Offense was very good. Murray will get more touches vs other opponents. We saw glimpses off Jarred Cook potential in saints offense. He should be able to dominate with Sean Payton play calling.

Yeah, Wil Lutz is the man!

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

We beat a legit playoff team out of the AFC. There’s room for improvement but I’m just happy we got the win. I’m pleased with the Kamara/Murray backfield and of course with Mike.

I expect a little more from Lattimore even if Hopkins is the best of the best at the position. Make those catches a little harder to reel in. If he pulls them down in traffic then oh well, but I expect a little better positioning. Tough sledding for an opening night game.

6 sacks though? Love that.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

The defensive back play is so disappointing not because of Hopkins that’s a given it’s the techn . The tackling , out of place in crucial spots it’s bs to me,

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Saw a replay of that Marcus Williams INT ...

He covered over 30 yards to go get it. That was pretty impressive to me.

This is what he did extremely well in college.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Beat a playoff team without Rankins and ony. Get those 2 back the middle of d vastly improves where we were getting gashed tonight.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Davenport no longer the starter? I only don't like it because it speaks to lack of trust IMO by the coaches. If he isn't starting by week 4 he's officially a bust.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Glad it ended the way it did OT would have taken its toll on team steam it worked out 1-0 baby

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

A bit premature for that label.

Saints coaching staff will continue to get him snaps. Especially considering what they gave up to get him.

Saints had 6 sacks tonight. Two I know for sure were a result of Davenport pushing the pocket and Trey cleaning it up.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

In Davenports defense they were showing tunsel dominating him but damm he repeatedly jamming his hand to his throat and face mask may have took a finger to the eye. Anyone else see that?

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

I don't know how you guys can be negative. We looked fairly sharp on offense, especially in the 4th. We got 6 sacks all while being short handed up front on defense. This is game one. We're not a fine tuned machine yet.

I'm pleased as pudding and looking forward to the season. Tonight was fantastic. A great win!

:bng:

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Yeah, I saw it too.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Man, you guys ***** too much. A win is a win. 6 sacks, 2 receivers over 100 yds and a W. All that with some starters not in there.

**** that. I'm happy!!!

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

If PJ keeps running on the slant it’s a INT.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

I would say he is not elite, YET. He sure has the talent to be elite and I think he looked good yesterday.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

They showed 1 clip of Tunsil stoning Davenport, that’s after Tunsil poked him in the eye. A lot of what Marcus did won’t show up on the stat sheet. I saw a guy that put Tunsil in Watson’s Lap numerous times, allowing other guys to get those sacks.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Hear hear! I have no major complaints on Davenports performance. Some issue with contain but that happened all across the board.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Precisely.

Davenport didn't get there but he made life easier for others to lay hands on Watson.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

He was pretty good in coverage after that first long catch but sure missed a lot of tackles that led to big yardage though on runs and a few pass plays. Hopefully he gets better.

PJ Williams didn’t have a terrible game considering that the Texans have some pretty good slot WRs. Once again, he was good in short areas but doesn’t have long speed. Be also made some big tackles. Even on that pass to Stills he wasn’t beat bad, it was a great pass but a bad coverage call for the situation.

That slant that Lattimore got beat on wasn’t either CBs fault, it was a nice pass through a hole in zone coverage. If anything it was Anazlone’s fault because he decided to pickup a WR running a drag in man coverage leaving the middle open.

Defense definitely needs some work but I didn’t expect them to shut down the Texans offense. 1-0 is all that matters and we are a game up on the entire division!

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Was it Tampa last season 1st game torching us deep . Somebody studied our Dbacks to a tee. Our tendencies in certain formations will get us beat early and late. It worked out this one.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

I think a lot of teams will be rethinking the preseason strategy after this week. Most teams looked very rusty. I understand the "injury" angle, but even veterans need some work prior to the season starting. Big difference between practise/scrimmage and a real game.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

I don’t think we looked rusty. I think we played a legit contender with a superstar QB and the best WR in football.

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Re: Texans @ Saints MNF Game Day Thread
 

Texans were 11-5 last year.

As Rez previously stated, they are legit team.

Nice win for the Saints.
