Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

1. Michael Thomas. You can't guard him. Period.

2. Patrick Robinson had a really nice day. Made som great tackles in the run defence and the last pas breakup was a thing of beauty.

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.

12-3 Who Dats!

Can't Guard Mike gets the record. Glad he caught a TD for it too, albeit a catch later.

#20 Jenkins looks good as a late FA pickup.

Kamara showed flashes of improvement today.

Overall a very satisfying win.

WHODAT !

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

We may the 2 best weapons in all the land. That being Hill and Harris.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Cook has 8 TD's in the last 9 games, quietly put together a very good season for us.

Thomas is the best in the league at this moment, not one person can deny that. Its unreal what hes been able to do this year.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Good win against a solid team. Tennessee is my dark horse pick for the AFC playoffs, if they would have had Henry in it may have been a different game. Overall, a lot to work on, but a road win is always good. And yes Kamara made a few ‘kamara’ type plays today... good to see because it’s been gone since week 3.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Try Chauncey Gardner Johnson at Free Safety.

He's a rookie but not afraid to make a play and will light your a** up. We need more young dawgs like that. Marcus Williams is still whiffing on tackles.

Get well soon but I'm not so sure he's the long term answer at FS. With all the criticism Alvin Kamara gets, I'm surprised no one is really focusing in on the lack of production last few weeks from Williams.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

1) Too many flags in this game, both ways really. Boger-ball :(

2) CGM is an animal. Honestly, Logan Ryan and the other Titans DB's actually covered him pretty well, still didn't matter.

3) CJGJ looks pretty good in safety positions. He did a great job on that big hit not leading with his head and then having the presence of mind to recover the ball.

4) Patrick Robinson got himself out of the doghouse to say the least. Let's hope he keeps it up.

5) Got quite pass-happy on a rainy day at times. Kind of fortunate it didn't cost us. Brees was just inches from being sacked for a safety. We caught a few breaks.

6) Good thing Henry wasn't playing today because the Titans run-blocked quite well.

7) Panthers got walloped today, seems like a trap game coming our way.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Quick Hits...

• Saints will have to play a near-perfect game each time they take the field to win the Superbowl with the officiating their getting...
  
  
• Drew Brees inconspicuously showed why he's the GOAT with an audible that resulted in a long Kamara TD run...
  
  
• Our secondary has been playing injured because when their reinforcements relieved him, we saw some some secondary play in the second half...
  
  
• Seems funny to see such a big man fly under the radar, but Shy Tuttle with David Onyemata gives the Saints options next Free Agency, Draft...
  
  
• Thought our reserve guards played very well against a very talented, very strong, very tough Titans' front seven...
  
  
• Until someone stops us, Payton needs to pound the middle with Murray, and gash the outside with Kamara...
  
  
• A.J. Klein is a very underrated, very unappreciated pash rusher as he had two sacks on the day...
  
  
• Trey Hendickson may be five pounds light as an every down defensive end, but he brought consistent pressure opposite Jordan...
  
  
• Gardner may be our best steal in the draft since the '17 draft and as our Strong Safety, is in the perfect position to be a difference maker
  
  
• Cam Jordan has achieved the irreplaceable level that Drew Brees has for this Saints Franchise...
  
  
• Jared Cook was slow out the gate, but is really coming on for the Saints passing game...
  
  
• As thin as the WR position is, really believe Ginn is hurting us more than he's helping and he should be left INACTIVE moving forward...
  
  
• Mike Thomas has now ended the debate as to who is the best Wide Receiver in the NFL and if he keeps this level for five more years, wow...

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Brees is slowing down

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

I was just thinking the same thing...

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

I only saw part of the game while in a restaurant, but one thing I took away from the game, is that the Titans scoring came to a screeching halt when Apple got hurt. They only started scoring again, when we relaxed and got comfortable with a lead.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

We won and still im pissed. The refs are a joke. D-line should've had 2 more sacks. Why the hell did Kamara run out of bounds when he easily had 7 more yards? He did make up for it with the blocking on Cooks long TD.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

No need to wash Trequan and Ginn's uniforms :p....

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

It like riding a Rollercoaster. your UP your Down your UP your down. Then it ends.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

No love for Harris? 150 return yards is insane. Offense should have had 2 more TDS with the field position he got us.
D line looked better as someone said but the secondary really helped out with that today. Besides the first two big plays they had a pretty good game.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

???

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

So are you saying we are drafting Jeaux Burreaux? :bng:

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Hats off to PJ Williams. He got pressed into emergency duty at FS and he did ok. He didn’t mess up.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

We need GB to lose and Seattle to beat the Whiners to get the number one seed.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

How?

Re: 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.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

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.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

See post #3.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

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 ...

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

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.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

I think he was joking Halo. If he wasn't, he needs medication.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

I agree

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

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.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

That was sarcasm

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Dline doesn't look the same without Davenport and Sheldon. 3 of those sacks came off of blitzes. Trey Hendrickson needs to share more snaps with Granderson. The run game was killing us, luckily the big guy didn't play. The Big plays have to be stopped looking like the Saints defense of old out there. Marcus Williams I'm not as concerned as some of you He's played better more times than not this season to each his own on how good he is. Offense no complaints(Lies). The Oline has to play better Andrus Peat welcome back big guy. The defense as a whole has taken some steps backwards hopefully everyone can heal and we can get a Bye going into the playoffs.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Carl Granderson ...

Made a few plays today. That tackle on a very elusive Dion Lewis stood out. Keep on eye on him in the rotation as we head towards the playoffs.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Not a bad UDFA pick up.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

New Orleans Saints first to clinch a playoff spot in the NFL sitting at 12 - 3 great right? Defense blah, blah, blah...........Offense blah, blah, blah............."COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA", blah, blah, blah. Yeah" BUT WHAT IF?" blah, blah, blah......SEAN AND THE MICKSTER....blah, blah,blah.....KICK EM WHEN THEY UP!! KICK EM WHEN THEY DOWN!!!.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Cut him..........

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

I saw a replay of that fake punt & dropped pass by Hardee ...

Taysom had some serious mustard on that one. That ball was whistling but Hardee has gotta catch it. I guess that's why he's a DB & not a WR ;).

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Yeah, wish they would have had Hogan in Hardee's spot.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

That dip under the block and tackle for loss play was very nice by him.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

Yeah, I know I will probably get flamed for this. But it sure looked to me like Drew was probably down in the end zone on that play (knowing the way the refs have treated us, it honestly could have been called either way). And after he hit the turf, Drew immediately pointed at the one yard line and gestured, "I was out there" and the refs moved the ball forward out to the one yard line and spotted it very generously for him. Sometimes it's good to be a record-breaking veteran QB. I kinda felt like the likes of Brady, Rogers, Manning and Brees will get that call, get that spot, but most other ordinary QB's might not have. Drew is a warrior and the refs know it. Sometimes, if you pay your dues and prove you love the game enough, the game loves you right back, and that's Drew.

Re: Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans
 

And in his defense, Kamara seemed very humble and very determined yesterday. He did a quiet praying/"thank you" gesture every time he scored a touchdown, he didn't grandstand or showboat in his celebrations hardly at all. I think those touchdowns meant a lot to him, because he knew he had been away from the end zone a lot, and it's a big contract year for him. Let's hope he gets back on track again. But I think if there was any hint of him being disgruntled with his touches or him not being happy or fussing about off-the-field issues (other than his injuries) I didn't see any trace of it in his body language yesterday AT ALL. Looked like he was "in the moment" and totally wanted to be there, period.
