Why is Lattimore Slipping?

neugey · 09-23-2019, 02:01 PM

Last year he got off to a slow start too. Maybe that is his nature. As long as he finishes strong, we can work with it.

He covers the best in a passing league where all of the rules favors the offense. The Saints mostly play an off man/zone scheme which is going to give up a lot of yards. The idea is not all in one play. The ghost of the Minnesota Miracle. Plus, I think he gets a little lazy and lacks concentration sometimes. He has supreme athletic ability. If he had supreme "want to" he would consistently be one of the best.

He's the best that we have on the roster. Our only other option is to trade for a player who may not do as well. Apple was an upgrade, but not by much, when we traded for him last year and he cost us a third round draft pick.

Some of these deep passes being completed have a bit of luck involved imo, with the ball ending up in a spot that I believe is just luck and ends in misfortune at times for us.
One thing thats got my attention the last few years is failclowns melted ice strategically throwing up a friggin prayer once a game looking for PI, and it was working with the zebras cocked,locked,and loaded itching to exercise their elbow.
I believe some of those are about to start being picked or just hitting the field.

The Td pass that klein gave up was really on good ole Williams. (#26) Klein looked pissed. He is good against the run but he sucks in coverage.

I was just watching some highlights and I did see a lot of catches being made in very good coverage.

Your right on . I never going to argue when the effort is there. Or if a player slips down and gives up a big one . But when u get burnt because you decided to peak in the backfield on man coverage .

Lattimore blames it on playing more zone. I’m not sure I buy that being the issue. If it’s cover 3 he’s still getting beat in his third of the field.
