On A POSITIVE Note Following Brees's Injury News
 
Although our upcoming schedule is tough, we face only ONE division opponent before week 10 which is Drew's potential return game.

@ Seattle
Dallas
Tampa
@ Jacksonville
@ Chicago
Arizona
B Y E

I see us going 3-3 without Drew!

Then it's Falcons > Bucs > Panthers > Falcons

Plenty of time to still win the division. :bng:

Chin UP Saints Fans!!

It is almost like preseason is continuing on steroids.

The schedule before the bye is not that bad. Seattle is tough but everyone else we could hang with. Have to assume Teddy will improve so 4-5 at the bye is reasonable. Let him play his own game though and give him more long range air strikes. The short ball is not his thing. The stacking the box on Kamara will also stop.

Dalls and Chicago will do to our O line what Rams did. We better tighten up the protection bc Teddy doesn't release quickly

Seattle, Dallas and Chicago are losses.

We should be able to beat Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and Arizona.

Only one I am worried about of those three is Tampa for the reason that they usually give us a hard time. Arizona could surprise us too. They hung around with Baltimore all game long. Their coach kicked 4 field goals when he should've went for it all 4 times; that was game changing for them.

Or he doesn't release at all. Can't expect 7 to 12 seconds in the pocket on any team to make a decision on who to pass to every down.

That's why I prefer Taysom. He knows the reads, has a cannon and his accuracy has improved tremendously. Not to mention he can run and will level you if you try and tackle him.

Bridgewaters entire body language just irked me straight away, like he was just sick of everything when given a chance.

If Taysom goes in as the starting QB we lose all of his intangibles. Bridgewater is more accomplished and working with the ones in practice will give us the best chance. I LOVE Taysom, but putting him in as the starter would be stupid. That's why it won't happen.

Whilst I agree on the "loss of his role" part you mentioned, Payton didnt seem too keen to get him involved anyway once Bridgewater was in. His first touch came in the 4th quarter on a crossing route.

In my view, you either play him at QB as the starter, or not at all incase they both get injured.

I noticed this too yesterday. He didn't really bother running any of the Taysom gimmicks after Brees got hurt.

It seemed last year any time we ran into a problem, Payton's solution was the Tayson Hill trick bag plays.
