Tampa game - 1st and goal at the 10, 3 TE set for Brady with the fake to RB and hits OJ Howard wide open in the back of the endzone. Ellis was caught flat footed guarding no one.

Green Bay game - 4th quarter, Saints down by 3. ARod with a naked boot leg to Robert Tonyan for 6. Again, KE responsibility.

Both missed assignments by Ellis. Not Demario, not Alex, or Jenkins.

Not sure why there was a need for you to show me snap counts when I clearly stated Kaden has been beaten for tds. TWICE IN THE REDZONE. He's not only beaten 2'x for TD's, but clearly confusion on his part on both.

Zach Baun needs to be playing in his place on those formations.

I'm on to Detroit.

Re: Week 4: Saints Final Injury Report
 

Yeah I dont feel this is going to be a fun one to watch.

5 starters out and someone took the bubble wrap off two 1sts too quickly!

PJ Williams and Patrick Robinson are going to be starting at CB, which is just a death wish in its own right.

Stafford has a good receiving core and will likely obliterate our secondary for the third straight week.

Re: Week 4: Saints Final Injury Report
 

Perhaps neither Baun or Ellis aren't up enough on the defense to be effective. Both young and no OTA's or minicamp.

Re: Week 4: Saints Final Injury Report
 

Both young, yes, very true. Ellis however, being drafted in 2019, was afforded all of last year’s full luxuries, including preseason, training camp, etc... He did play in a handful of games last season also, iirc. It shouldn’t take two years to at least not look “lost” while on the field. Bottom line, I would rather see the newly drafted rookie instead of the guy you know can’t play up to speed.

Re: Week 4: Saints Final Injury Report
 

Tbh, I think he was injured 99% of the year. I could be wrong. But I think he was placed on IR before the season or at the beginning of it.

Re: Week 4: Saints Final Injury Report
 

I think he was more of a ST player, seems to be the norm for Payton’s rookies. But, he did have 3 starts last year, can’t really tell you if ultimately wound up on IR.

Re: Week 4: Saints Final Injury Report
 

Another factor is the five total snaps on defense over the first three games. It has to be difficult to come in on two or three plays a game in crucial situations as a young player. I'd rather have a more experience player in at that moment. Perhaps Baun could have done better.

Re: Week 4: Saints Final Injury Report
 

Agreed, and fully understand. Whether “it has to be difficult to come in on two or three plays a game” is an excuse or a reason, is another argument to be had, lol. When you do get the opportunity to showcase your talent, it’s always best to start off on the right foot. It tends to quiet down any naysaying that might be happening.

Here’s hoping the young man gets on the same sheet of music as everyone else very soon. Defense is going to need everybody’s full attention, every snap of every game.
