Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans

Drew called guys out on the field today. Loved it. Wouldn’t say he went all Philip Rivers on dem. But more of a pissed Brady or Rodgers. He got on guys running the wrong routes and Kamara running out of bounds to name a few. We’re gonna need more of that to keep players focused on the prize.

3. The fact that Demario Davis was not elected to the Pro bowl just shows how much of a sham that thing is. He might very well be the best LB in the league right now.

4. O-line started off really shaky but managed to shore it up. I can't wait to have our guards back. Ram gave up a really bad sack, its the first play like that I've seen from him this year.

5. We have a ton of talent (no pun intended) on the interior D-line. Onyemata, Stallowrth, Tuttle, I like them all.

6. D-line as a whole showed up much better this week compared to the last. Brought good pressure all the way.

7. I hope we can keep Harris around for a long time. You know you have a weapon when the other team starts squib-kicking the kick offs.

8. I loved the punt fake. Good call but a bad drop.

9. We got to see the real Kamara today. The burst was back and so was his decisiveness. The play that impressed me the most was the block on Cook's TD and that seemed to really spark him.

10. Cook is really starting to show up for us. He is a tremendous athlete.

Kamara started this game looking like he still didn't care to show up, when he went out of bounds for no reason. Drew was visibly upset with him, and I would bet had something to say to him on the sidelines. Because immediately after that series, he suddenly started breaking tackles, making spin moves, and accelerating through holes, instead of juking in place.

All things we have not seen since about week 3. Someone lit a fire under him. If it wasn't Drew, somebody sure as heck did.

I'll continue to beat a dead horse here but this team is built to win anywhere.

Saints were behind 14-0, had key injuries during the game, 10 penalties & Brees had 3 sacks. Yet somehow we defeated a desperate team in their building. That's difficult to do.

This is a special team. We're not done yet ...

MT is getting better and better and better. It’s a good thing he is.

Kamara has gotten gun shy. He came into the league young with something to prove not caring if he got hurt. A few years older and like most young men he starts to get a sense of mortality. He gets hurt and realizes he’s not made of steel and now he’s being over cautious. I think you will see old Kamara after today.

Keep Murray off the field unless it's last resort or garbage time. Good player but he's not the thing to get us to the thing at this point.
