Saints plan to approach Week 17 "like any other game"


Mr. Scot

Per Sean Payton, but he's not real specific as to what that means other than that they'll "try to win".

Saints plan to approach Week 17 like any other regular season game

Quote

Payton said that the team will approach the game like any regular season game and that they’ll try to win to end the year with a 14-2 record. As noted by multiple reporters on the Saints beat, however, Payton didn’t say that every starter was going to be part of that effort.

Payton could determine that backups could handle doing what’s needed to defeat a beaten-up Panthers team. If that’s the case, there’s a chance Teddy Bridgewater starts at quarterback for the first time since the 2015 season.

I can't imagine a scenario where our starters lose to their backups.

Considering we're probably going to to be playing a banged up backup at QB, I can.

I don't think we're going to to be going all out to win this one. As soon as it was clear that the Vikings were going to to win yesterday, some of our key starters got pulled.

Equally important question though...

This game is meaningless. Why should we play our starters?

It's meaningful as far as the draft is concerned, personal achievements, future employment tape for coaches and players, ratings: tv/radio/internet/printed word, and ticket sales. RR will play the starters imo. As a fan I would sit the starters for draft position.

    • I'd been trying out different mobile browsers to see what worked best with the board (Brave used to be good but wasn't cutting it these days). My Choice: Firefox (Android) Unlike some others, Firefox embeds links on the first try. The method that works best is to make the change from "x" to "Twitter" in a separate editor (note taking apps tend to work) then paste it in as plain text. Doing this, I've yet to have an issue. Also worth noting that this browser doesn't give you the little "broken link" sign when you post an emoji like a lot of others do. Hope that helps 🙂 ... Of course if you can't spell or type for sh-t, you're lazy about editing and/or your grammar sucks, a browser isn't going to help that 😐
    • Sacks are a function of the scheme you run and the quality of your pass defense. Many sacks are coverage sacks because your secondary stopped the short pass and gave your rushers time to get to the quarterback. One gap schemes generate more sacks from your d- line while 2 gap schemes tend to concentrate sacks on linebackers and blitzers. So how successful any of our D line will be will depend on Evero's scheme. If we rush three again and no blitzes we won't be getting sacks.  If we use more press coverage and start 6 guys on the line and confuse the blocking assignments and use more blitzes, stunts and overloads Brown and company could feast. Guys will get more work as they learn the system and playing time as they produce on the field.
