Saints Defense (what did I just watch)
Someone help me understand last nights game please... Defensive secondary is the area I’m least able to diagnose.
Did our defense ‘get good’? Did Tampa play that bad? 8 yards rushing and less than 220 total. Did Spag’s let the defense call their own game? All three? FFS, that secondary went from sh1t-show to prime time in 7 days. A Tom Brady offense with less than 20 minutes of total possession! A definite standing slow clap for the defense but WTF do I expect next week ? |

Next week home against a 40-whiners team without Garoppolo and possibly Kittle.
Lather, rinse repeat! |

I think it’s two things. 1. Finally healthy 2. Great Game plan
Michael Thomas opens up the entire offense! It seemed like the saints took out a half season of frustration on TB. |

Re: Saints Defense (what did I just watch)
When Tampa threw away their game plan because of the big lead and literally passed the ball on every play, it freed us up to be more aggressive. It was a special night and we won't have that luxury next week against a team that is committed to the run.

It was a one sided affair the entire game. It was so good to see Tom Brady look rejected and stumped sitting on the sidelines trying to figure out what the hell is going on here. The Saints dominated the game from the very beginning. Looking pretty good setting course to the playoffs.

Re: Saints Defense (what did I just watch)
It's all mental. Lattimore always plays big against Evans and the DL was active. There was a media clip of Arians talking about Hendricks was the easiest player to block on the line and he played like a man on a mission. I also think when we are the underdog we play with a huge chip on our shoulder. 60% of the country and all nbc talking heads picked Brady and the bucs. Big shoutout to the OL. They played great. Only hiccup was a bad design play when you tried to block a premier pass rusher with a TE and no help. That will never work. Great Win

Don't look now but Trey Hendrickson has 7.5 sacks in 8 games. Good for 3rd in the league...

Too bad we'll lose him after this season. He's gonna want some money and the Saints will keep Davenport instead. Which is really too bad. That kid has been awesome.
