Observations from the Saints win over the Bucs

@CantGuardMike is the best Wide Receiver in the NFL - and his best football is yet to come! With the game's rules today, he's nearly unstoppable...
Alvin Kamara looked to be his old self, Payton made an honest effort to spell him with Murray; but Ingram would have pinballed more yards today...
You can tell Cam is getting older, but like Drew, he's smarter, wiser and picking his spots; Tampa Bay wanted no part of him today...
Really happy that Trey Hendrickson was pass rushing with reckless abandon which is a relief after that ugly injury earlier in the season...
Hendrickson even had a QB knockdown, disrupting a pass and on the next play TB triple-teamed him, Cam was glad to eat...
Marcus Davenport just keeps disappearing; don't blame him for Payton stupidly putting two firsts and a fifth up for him, but Damn, play like a first rounder...
As much talk that there is re: another receiving option, which we do need, I'm more concerned about our offensive guards now, and moving forward...
Eli Apple has to be re-signed; not sure how we stretch those dollars, but his confidence is growing and if Aaron Glenn stays, he's getting better...
Gardner is still rough around the edges, but his play, coupled with Apple's improvement, we may see Vonn Bell expendable this offseason...
Linebacker play is so much better than what it was three years ago; saw some uninformed comments re: Klein; I'll just say we're not in the LB room...
We mostly play nickel as the trend in the league is Pass, Run, Pass; but today I saw lots of 3LBer sets vs a pass happy Bucs offense - that's encouraging...
Still a head-scratcher our abysmal record coming out of our BYE week; but it was nice to see the team come out and play with greater intensity...
Consider our best cornerback was out, was really impressed the way the defensive backs circled the wagons and only gave up big plays with a lead...

Crusader, Barry from MS, Rugby Saint II and 1 others like this.
