I think Sean has done a really good job easing Teddy in, and I also think we're going to see it get opened up a little more this Sunday...

Speaking of stats ...

FWIW, M Davenport has a total of 22 pressures thus far. That's good for #10 in the NFL per Pro Football Focus.

Now that we have Shimmy back in the middle, Davenport could eat (sacks). He was so close to Dak ... Tyrin held him a lot though.

By week 8, this D line could be absolutely nasty.

I believe the offense is as open as it can/will get with Teddy. He doesn't see the field as well as Brees. Few do. The only legit weapons on offense are Mike and Alvin. Brees could make everyone on offense a target and productive beyond their ability. Teddy simply won't. Teddy will however make more plays on the run and with his legs than Drew. Teddy will be different. Teddy won't be a fantasy guy. Teddy can win. It's just going to look very different than Drew.

Re: PFT’s Week Five power rankings
 

Agree. When under pressure Teddy also doesn't climb the pocket like Brees. Teddy's tendency is to scramble, which is possibly a contributing factor to some of the holding calls.

The Pats have played the 31 hardest schedule so they haven't played anybody. The Saints have played the 3rd hardest schedule. The difference is one win to LA against the Refs in a game where Drew got hurt.

If anybody cares to look at the USA Today NFL Computer Power Rankings the Saints are 5th and move up to #4 with different computer rankings.

Carolina is #10 and hard to believe... LA is #3 I guess because the beat us. :rolleyes:

I agree with you on TB’s ability to read the defenses and make his read progression, but Dallas which has a great defense was not allowing TB and our receiver any time to separate. If TB can not get the ball out and down the field this week the against the Buc’s the hand writing is on the wall after 3 weeks and 2 weeks of game planning for Teddy as a whole this offense too talented to not be scoring more points. Does coach continue to play safe and hope the defense and special teams wins the games for us or does he make the change?

If we fall behind to the Buc’s I have not seen Teddy’s offensive play have the pace speed or energy to come from behind ... coach might make the change for some Taysom Time.

Re: PFT’s Week Five power rankings
 

In fairness to Teddy... the Rams, Seahawks and Cowboys all have great defenses. :mad:

Re: PFT’s Week Five power rankings
 

We get the penalty calls, not the awards and honors.

It is what it is.
