Observations from Saints' win vs Bucs

K Major · 10-07-2019, 09:17 AM

CB Marshon Lattimore vs WR Mike Evans, Evans had three (3) targets, zero (0) receptions, zero (0) Yds; While Lattimore did flub some zone coverage, he completely shut-out Evans; Win --> Lattimore ...

^^^ this stat on Evans vs Latt ... I mean just last week he just shut down Amari (had almost 200 yards receiving on yesterday vs Packers) & now shut out and shut down Evans? Wow man ... just wow.

Well, I withheld praise after the win vs the hated Cowboys because Cooper was playing a little gimp and then there's doubt about the Cowboys' innovativeness...

Marshon seems to be motivated vs individual matchups because he definitely had some lapses in zone coverage yesterday - DA will need to find ways to keep him focused in that regard...

Lattimore is no where near an island, shut-down half-the-field guy yet, as he's got to work on the total game...

But the individual athleticism, skills to shut down an elite WR was on proud display yesterday...

Players took Drew's getting hurt pretty seriously. Nobody ever figured we would go 3-0 with Drew.

I respectfully disagree.

Who cares if Amari wasn't 100% last week. He had almost 226 yards vs the Packers in a losing effort on yesterday. 226 yards. Against Latt he was shut down.

Fast forward to the elite WR in Evans the following week. 0 receptions on 2 targets and Marshon shadowed him on 43 of 53 snaps. Evans who is a stud had no answer, no separation, no productivity.

Just like Deion Sanders said on his show yesterday ... "Lattimore is a dawg all day, took away a lot of the playing field and is quickly approaching shutdown territory".
