Re: Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks
With Brees down we really miss the experience Unger brought. McCoy is outstanding but lacks the experience to call out adjustments which I feel Unger would have been better suited for in Brees absence. When Brees is under center he takes on all that responsibility. Could be partially to blame for some of the penalties

Re: Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks
Yadda yadda yadda!!! If Brees perform exactly like Bridgewater with a W without a interception y'all would not even mention that a wr didn't receive a catch till the second quarter. The concept is play to what the defense give you plus the time of possession was in favor in 1st quarter to the Seahawks because of the punt return.
I am sure once Bridgewater become more comfortable and familiar with the 1st unit the ball will come out faster but to criticize so harshly after a win lead me to believe that some of you probably would've preferred a lost so you can criticize even more by saying Taysom should be the starter. If so, I hope y'all continue to sip on your haterade while Bridgewater thrive |

Re: Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks
1. Harris is the best returnman we have had since Beerman. Sure he dropped one but stuff like that happens. His TD was glorious and exactly what the team needed to start the game.
2. Morsteads punting was stellar today. Pinning them inside the five twice is huge. 3. This might have been Davenports finest performance so far. Very active, stout against the run and bringing good pressure. 4. Alvin Kamara is something the truth. He carried the team today. 5. Teddy looked better today. Still a bit uneasy but better. He played as Cpt. Check down but doing so completed 70% of his passes. 6. Penalties, we have to clean this up. We can't have false starts, not being set when snapping the ball etc. It hurt the offense early in the game and helped the Seahawks late. If you try to make a tackle and happen to get hold of the facemask or push a little too much while trying to break free on a route I won't get mad but the pre-snap stuff drives me nuts. 7. McCoys athleticism on Kamaras screen TD was impressive. The big boy got down field in a hurry helping to clear the way. 8. Really good playcall on the TD to Thomas. Smart to throw a bubble screen which allows the guys in front to block for him. 9. The last TD the Seahawks scored kinda irked me. We picked it off twice to no avail because of penalties. 33-27 is allright but 33-21 would have looked even better. 10. I wanna send a gift to the Seahawks LB who nailed Carroll in the face. 11. The runblocking needs to get a whole lot better, QUICK. EFFORT! You saw guys really fighting today. I believe its the type of game that can make or break a season. We lost one of the best QBs in the game last week which kinda deflated the team and we lost the game. Today was a new game and the boys came out fighting and they kept fighting. Great team win! |
W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

I'd remind you Brees missed a game vs the Panthers, who were an elite defense, and Luke McCown shredded them, didn't need to get comfortable... But you inadvertently hit it on the head, Bridgewater is just not comfortable, he's playing scared; likely scared he's gonna get hurt again... |

Re: Observations from Saints' win over Seahawks
I'm definitely willing to give Teddy some time. Hasn't played a full game of regular season football for a very long time. It will take a bit of adjusting.
