New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas: Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater 'fought his butt off' in win over the Dallas Cowboys

Teddy has Thomas and Kamara. Two great players for sure. But, the lack of anybody else to make even the smallest play is really hampering the Saints offense. Teddy is absolutely giving it his all. 2-0 is all that matters.

Teddy giving it his all as a game manager... because that’s all he offers. Hard for folks to make plays when he won’t throw the ball more than 10yds.

I’m not sure what people here expected from Teddy, but I have seen exactly what I expected to. A game manager that can win if everyone plays great around him. Teddy ranks 30th in QBR after 2 games, so if that’s giving it his all... ok.

I don’t think Teddy will put up enough points against Tampa, unless the D or special teams score, this game is likely a loss.

So what do you do to game plan on Sunday if you are Coach Payton/Carmichael?

We gotta slow the game down. Run. Run. Run. Play action. Slant. Bubble screen. RB screen. Curls. Quick outs. Drags. Then eventually take the top off.

I actually think this is a much tougher match up than last week's game simply because who the Bucs now have as a Head Coach and Def Coordinator.

Lattimore will need to replicate his performance on those boundaries.

Goodwin and Mike Evans are problems.

As I was saying...
Six sacks help!

I agree with Rez, but we need to force teddy into deep throws more often. Teddy is 1-7 on throws of 15yds or more, that's awful but you have to keep the threat of it in the game so DBs don't start cheating up. I would also mix in Hill and let him have about 15 snaps at QB, not for gadget plays, but for actually throwing the ball and making reads.

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
