Rewatched the Saints game

[dfense]

Brees did exactly what Weeden should have been doing. He threw 5 to 7 yard pick routes and out routes all game. Eventually the Cowboys rushers were exhausted. Why Weeden can't do that all game is beyond me. Without the ball control of the Romo led offense, this defense is in serious trouble.

The Patriots are going to do nothing but what Brees did all game long, only better.

Here's a preview of Brady's stats;

36-42 315 4TDs with a 2/3rds TOP edge.

He's going to have a 80% completion percentage throwing underneath to little WR's Carr will naturally play 10 yards off all game. Not very excited about this week.

Because our fan base Weeden haters will say he is a dink and dunk QB.....

 

[Jarv]

I don't think we have pick routes in our playbook, its illegal so JG wouldn't even consider it

No kidding, after the alt game fans went off on Weeden for the dinks and dunks. This game he still hit a lot of short passes but also went deep something some were claiming Weeden was incapable of. I guess Weeden is going to be ripped no matter what

 

[canters]

I am not exited either-will be glad when it is over. It is not the end of the world ( 2015 NFL season ) if we lose.

We will be better at some point this year-hopefully before it is too late.

Not true, Williams got open on a pick rout.

So Weeden is doing what the fans want and not what the coaches tell him?

I'll take your word on that, I was being slightly factious, but we seem to have more dump passes out of the backfield than WR/TE picks, compared to some other teams like NO/NE. It's all the rage you know.

Yes and more penalties that are being called this season for offensive pass interference. Honestly I have not seen this many offensive PI called through out the league, refs seem to be cracking down on illegal picks

Marinelli should mix in some zone blitz. That can disrupt the 3-step quick-fire passing.

only against some teams. GB is doing it all the time as does the Pats and somehow few get called there.

Well, a lot of fans do think they know what is best over the coaches and FO....I keep reading it on here every day.

Can't dispute that only thing I can say is out of all the games I have watching I have never seen this many offensive PI that are being called this season due to illegal picks.

you have to go deep more than once or twice a game and YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE THE PASSES. You have to HURT the D for them to change. Right now they correctly believe that weedon will not really cause damage going deep. Until he does they will continue to stack against the run and short passes. Right now I think it would take several long TDs for the D's to really adjust. Until that happens they will continue to box us in as they have done.

I don't think we run many rub routes. Maybe occasionally but we don't feature it like NE and others.

I think much of it is coaches playing it close to the vest with Weeden. However I saw them open it up a little more vs NO than Alt and I think that is due to increasing confidence in Weeden that he will not make the bonehead throws. Dallas knows they have no chance at all if Weeden is out there throwing picks so I think they have kept him on a short leash but the more he shows I think the more they will trust him and be more aggressive with him

True but then we don't deflate balls either. NE has their rules the rest of us play by a different set of rules.

I will believe it when I see it. Hopefully the coaches realize just how close we are to losing the season and that will make them more willing to take chances.

I may drink heavily during this game.

I'm starting in Saturday night. My goal is to not remember the game.
