Observations from the Saints' win against the Titans

Crusader · 12-22-2019, 03:35 PM

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 !

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

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.

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.

K Major · 12-22-2019, 04:02 PM

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.

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.

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.

It looked like a for-sure safety to me. I was shocked the replay wasn't reviewed. Thought I must've just seen that wrong.
