Observations from the Saints win over the Bucs

The Dude · 11-17-2019, 09:18 PM

A few years back I started saying that Brees could play well into his 40’s if the Saints would make it a priority to sign 2 pro bowl to elite receivers. He extended average receivers careers by making them look like all stars and it was time to start signing/drafting receivers who could extend Brees career. Instead we have Peat, Davenport, wasted draft capitol and crappy FA acquisitions. So here we are.
**** is about to get real from here on out minus the payback we dish out on Atlanta.

Mike is the best in the game. Only 50 catches remain for the record. Ain’t gonna leave a lot of room for others to get theirs. Sean and Brees will make sure of that. And I don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing. Mike is gonna take a lot of hits. He’s came up gimpy on some catches the last two weeks.

Kiko Alonzo ...

Money. Made some solid tackles.

Week after week, he's getting more familiar with the system and has been capitalizing on those snaps.

Observation: we've all seen Drew make the other team jump offsides with his hard count, it's one of his great tricks as a QB....but I don't know if I've ever seen him do it TWICE IN A ROW, like that, before. There was that sequence when it went from 3rd and 17, to 3rd and 12 and then 3rd and 7, all off of Drew getting them to jump. He literally psyched them out twice in a row, on back to back snaps. That was awesome.

- Control time of possession (we won in this category by a lot)
- Balance
- Play good defense

Recipe for a dubya.

Post game, Rev Deuce mentioned that their could have been several reasons on the limited snaps for Davenport ...

1. Wanted to keep him "fresh" throughout since TB is a pass team first.
2. The brace on his arm may have limited him on technique.
3. Trey Hendrickson provides more consistency from the pass rush.
4. Not using Davenport on stunts as much with Rankins back & see TRex as the better edge presence right now.

All good talking points though.

Was going to post this as well. I got rid of cable so I can't watch the games... THE HORROR!!!

Deuce Windham and Ellias Williams indeed made the points you typed out and also stated that Davenport doesn't seem to get off the snap quickly enough. He's apparently a step behind from the get go.
