Flat Footed

dizzle88 · 12-15-2020, 05:35 PM

My concern is for this week is that Spags plays a lot of zone and Taysom struggles with Zone because he doesn't seem to be able to anticipate the gaps in coverage.

It explains why he had 2 decent games vs Falcons - primarily a man coverage D.

You are right, but Still have to have better blocking than last game no matter what Dizz!

Absolutely, O line got bullied, similar to the Vikings playoff game last year.

Here's hoping Payton can get it sorted, there are too many early round picks on that line to be playing that way.

It happens. Sometimes it absolutely shouldn't. Makes absolutely no sense. And yet it does. I'm personally not worried.

As all Saints fans know, you gotta have faith !

Having the ball with 6 precious minutes on the clock and absolutely no sense of urgency was very telling

Saints offensive line had no answers for Eagles defensive front 4, they dominated our Oline. The Eagles only rush 5 on 5 or 6 downs, we will see more and more of this as we move to and thru the post season. We still scored 21 points and Taysom just does not seem to have the ability to get the reads Pre snap and getting thru his progressions on post snap reads to identify the one on one matchups or seeing the opening receivers. Direct effect of Eagle Front Four pressure.
The ball need to be out 2.5 seconds or less or roll out to extend the play but Taysom has not be very accurate when throwing on the move.

Whoever plays at QB this weekend offense will have be ready to score often and limit turnovers. Not sure our Defense will be able to contain the Chief’s offense.

The hell with him throwing on the run, just run ; it’s why he’s back there in the first place. WTH Man U see this so many times with running QBs . (Ala Aaron brooks)They forget they have to win the game no matter what.

And unfortunately for us, Spaggs has tape on Taysom.

He'll definitely need to process things more quickly, navigate in the pocket and protect the football.

The audition continues for Hill on Sunday.

That is the New Orleans facilities address in Metairie. I put that down for kicks! I live in Fairhope Al on the eastern shore on Mobile Bay. It's an old money town and has it's own Saints bar!
