Observations from Saints' win vs Bucs
 

Great team win as we see continued growth from the defense. Over 6 sacks, even one from the rookie Granderson! Our front is no joke.

Jared Cook stepping up just a bit.

Teddy can begin to bicycle dance kick as he lost the "check down"moniker today.

"Can't Guard Mike" had a monster game today.

Lattimore continues to improve... Evans was shut out.


We just scared the crap out of the entire NFL for the rest of the season.

WHO DAT !

I was going to start a similar thread. Special teams left a little to be desired, but we played well up front, especially on defense, and the oline is starting to get its collective head out of its collective :censored:. Check down Teddy? Nope. Lattimore just held Evans to nadda. That's pretty amazing, because Evans is a damn good WR.

Super proud of the team today. Great win in the division!

That Shnit is unreal :cool:

Re: Observations from Saints' win vs Bucs
 

My ten thoughts on the game:

1. Harris had his "Welcome to the NFL" moment today. Hopefully its something he can bounce back from quickly.

2. We cut down on the penalties A LOT.

3. I don't think I can remember us ever having a D-line group this deep.

4. Trey Hendrickson better get healthy quick because there are more guys that can play.

5. Cook had his best game of the year but still has things to clean up.

6. Thomas is worth every penny we're paying him. He is just a stud.

7. Running game just did enough today but this is our biggest posibility to improve.

8. From what I saw Klein made som nice plays in coverage today.

9. Evans had a tremendous catch streak broken today. Lattimore has really stepped up his game the last two weeks.

10. The last TD irked SP and hopefully he shoves a foot up the D *** to remind them to FINISH! They played a really nice game so to give up that last TD is just sloppy.

Bonus: The Falcons got blown up.

Bruce Arians is a complete moron and a t***canoe!

Andrus Peat and Terri no Armstead are the reason the run game is soso this year, Andrus Peat has been put on his arse EVERY game this year. This should be his last year as a Saint

Re: Observations from Saints' win vs Bucs
 

I agree about Harris. I hope we don't get to the point where wer're all holding our breaths when he goes to receive a punt. I was glad to see Cook step up. I think the running game needs some work. Perhaps they can get Washington in the mix. The Defense is starting to gel and they seem to be having fun out there. I agree about Payton nailing the D for that last drive. Sure they were up by 14 but there was still enough time for TB to pull something off. You don't let your foot off the pedal until the clock says 0. As for the Falcons, I"m puzzled.

If Carl Granderson keeps developing, this D-Line is just stupid. Malcom Brown is really starting to settle in too. We have the depth to just send guys in waves.

Re: Observations from Saints' win vs Bucs
 

Just a thought of mine;

Maybe having Teddy throw checkdowns and short passes against Seattle and Dallas was a necessary step to build up his confidence and help him get used to being a starting QB again.

He was unleashed today and was throwing down field constantly.

Re: Observations from Saints' win vs Bucs
 

No one is talking about Malcolm Brown so I will ... He's a brute force in the middle. So far, he's been an excellent upgrade on Tyeler Davison.

Looking like a quality Saints Free Agent signing for 2019.
