Rugby Saint II

He looked sluggish and not crisp n the least. He worked all off season doing some shot putting or throwing some sort of heavy ball to increase his strength, which was his focus this year. Maybe it cost him his accuracy which is his strength. Can he get it back? My gut tells me yes...possibly for even a couple of more years.

I truly believe that when the Saints O-line finds their timing, gels and gets in sync then we'll be back to a top tier unit enforcing our will on other teams. Sanders has to get comfortable in Payton's complex play book with an abbreviated intro to the offense. I believe that he'll get in tune with Drew sooner rather than later. Payton has to start using Murray more. He was obviously in the beginning of the game but as usual he got away from him. Tre' Quan still dropped balls and I believe he ran the wrong route at least once. He had good YAC though and threw a nice block for a big gain. He has to be more consistent...still has to be more consistent. Bottom line in my opinion the receivers couldn't get separation and were owned all night.

The defense started Strong but then fell apart. DA never adjusted to their evolving game plan. We might have been out coached now that I think about it. There were far too many missed tackles after the initial strong start by the defense who put up a weak front four.
