Observations from the Saints win over the Panthers

7. Josh Hill is a great blocker in the running game. He is the type of player that flies under the radar but is really important on a roster.
-- YES. and we have a number of guys like him, average fans dont know, who make a huge difference.

9. I'm so glad our kicker is Wil Lutz and not Joey Slye.
-- Best K we've had since Morten.

Speaking of WR's ...

How in the hell does Trequan Smith allow that corner to out jump him on that pbu? Wasn't that one of his strong points (high pointing the ball) coming out of UCF?

He's too tentatively for my taste. When the football is in the air, he needs to have the mentality that "it's mine". Go snag it man.

You either have dawg in you or not.

Another take away from me, that I haven’t seen listed...

Drew’s arm looks healthy right now. The zip on the ball was there and surprisingly he was able to throw the deep ball. Unfortunately Ginn blew both deep passes but they were good balls from Drew.

That’s a big difference from last year. This time last year you could see the zip start to fade from Drew’s passes.

Absolutely. That first one went about 60 yards. Very happy to see the old boy still has it.

I for one don't hold Cams penalty against him. He was punching at the ball and missed. On the next play a defender attempted to punch it out and Aikman pointed it out. The defense is opportunistic and we have punched out several balls this year. If anything I put that on the refs going after us because I'm not even sure he made contact.

Agreed it was an awkward I’ll timed jab at the ball. If not he punches like a girl lol.
