Observations from the Saints Clutch Win Against the CowBoys

2. Vonn Bell has really hit a stride, 3 turnovers in 2 weeks i huge for us. The first penalty for roughing the passer I feel was a little ticky-tacky.
7 tackles, 3 assisted, 1 FF, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 pass defensed. This might have been his best game so far.

If I'm in the front office ... he will be a priority on the back end to re sign in New Orleans. Vonn improved from year to year and is consistent.

Guess those scouts/coaches knew what they were doing all along to go up and get him in the draft from a few years ago.

-Big win. Statement win.
-Teddy looks good and comfortable.
-The defense is playing with great level effort. Hitting and swarming. Bordering on flying around like a bunch of crazed dogs.
-Brown was a great FA signing. Huge in the middle.
-Davis impacts the defense like Brees impacts the offense.
-Harris had a hand in two of the field goals. One on special teams and one on offense.
-A Cook and Murray sighting.
-Thomas and Kamara shine even without gaudy stats.
-Davenport's game has taken a step forward this season.
-Lutz and Morstead are simply the best.

-The OL, with the exception of Ram, got individually whipped a few times last night.
-The officiating makes all games hard to watch.
-Since the beginning of instant replay, the officials have refused to overturn a call on the field even when THERE IS clear evidence to the contrary. The point of instant replay is to get the call correct. What it was called on the field should have NO bearing. The Zeke fumble was not a fumble. Glad it went the Saints way, but more often than not it won't. Just get the call correct.
-I didn't like Payton calling two timeouts when leading and the Cowboys looked content on going to the half. It worked out in his favor thanks to the ref's, but he has had that not work for him on multiple occasions in the past.
-Humphrey was targeted one time and Carr not at all. That situation has to improve.
-I was completely wrong about the outcome of the game and the performance of the Saints last night. They showed up and balled.

Saints will eventually bring in a vet WR ... from somewhere

Well, not to be Debbie Downer, but the Bucs are coming to town and Bruce Arians' offense just hung 48 pts on the Rams despite Jameis Winston, cross-country in the Ram's house (Suh added a FumRecTD)...

Great, win vs a hated rival - now let's all go do work now that we know our defense has raised the bar and we can close out on defense...

Seriously, I'd get Cyril Grayson back 'cause Ginn ain't getting it done; I'd rather have legit speed that shows up on Sunday to open things up...

Special teams weapons...

Assumption College alum Deonte Harris is tearing it up thus far. Gave our offense a short field last night. He's averaging 25 yards per return on kick offs and 13 yards per punt return.

Thomas Morestead and Deonte' Harris have been great thus far.

I'm still surprised. Kind of like the day after we won the Super bowl.
