Not a single ball travelled more than 20 yards in air. 

We run a very similar system. Remember that.

 

On the flip side, how in the hell we sat back and let this happen I’ll never know. Everyone and their dog knew what the Saints were going to do especially with Thomas and Sanders out. Everyone except Phil Snow I guess

Yes, but Carolina is a mid-teir defense at absolute best. The comment is that you won't beat top-tier defenses in this way, as perhaps evidenced last week vs Chicago.

Meanwile Nick Foles and JimmyG keep getting away with checkdowns and the occasional shots.

Maybe its because they both have good defenses Idk.

Anyway op our problem today is our LBs are bad in zone (check how often Shaq waits til the ball is about to be thrown to break) and then the players underneath miss tackles.

And Brees too for that matter, though he's several levels better than them and the offensive scheme is as well.

Look at how far it's taken the Saints in the past decade though.

Yep I can’t remember which 3rd down conversion it was (there was too many) that Kamara was running a crossing route and Shaq sat wait back for absolutely no reason resulting in a 1st down. Brutal

    • Also if it reads funny, I tried to type it as accurately as I could without changing anything, I wasn’t trying to be sloppy.
    • Hey, tbe  first pro game for Bryce vs the first for Cam, nothing needs to be said.    EdIt/PS each showed us exactly who they were, first time. 
    • I went back and watched the press conference from Monday again because I wasn’t really paying attention at the time. He’s telling us what’s going on, but we are just dismissing it as coach speak. Here it is in text.   Reporter 1: When you say with confidence, do you think Bryce is confident taking those deep shots, or are they being called? What is going on with that? Canales: Yeah it’s a mix of all those things. Reporter 2: What needs to happen for your deep passing game to open up a little bit? Canales: Chemistry, timing, it’s everybody. Protection-wise, was.. um, finding the right opportunities, coverage-wise, um.. and then it’s just you know, the timing and me to you factor- getting the guys down there and giving them opportunities to make the plays. Reporter 3: Is it fair to criticize the lack of vertical threat you guys had, like Xavier Legette had a post wide open but the ball got hit up, there are opportunity there but drops, play mishaps, etc. Are you pushing the ball downfield with your play calling or do you feel like there is a disconnect with the production? Canales: In general it’s a group effort, yes lets get some more opportunities, um, to have those plays come alive- I will call them more when we have more success with them and those things come alive for us, but we have to keep working together, we have to keeping taking those shots in practice to make sure we are comfortable with them and uh; certainly for Brad and I to look at the pass game, coverage, and what they are giving us, uh pretty simple. When they are playing single high and everyone is at the line of scrimmage, we have to make the most out of those opportunities when we have them. Um, so that we uh, are a balanced offense which um, does play off of the run game, which we have got going but now let’s get the pass game going so we can really attack with an offense that I visualize for us. Reporter 4: Calling and Bryce taking more shots back last season… why have you gotten away from it if it’s as simple as what you’ve said about kinda getting too reliant on the success of the run game? Canales: By numbers-wise we are about the same, I think it’s just a matter of chemistry, the full group getting comfortable with those things and then making it come alive. Reporter 5: Is Bryce comfortable taking those deep shots? Canales: We will have to just keep growing as a group and make sure that you, we are at the time on task, the trust factor, the me to you factor, the.. all these things you know, and grow. Reporter 6: What do you think will help the trust factor? When you say that do you mean between receivers and Bryce? Staff and Bryce? Or play calling and Bryce? Canales: all those things and you know, it happens in practice and uh, we’ve had these things come alive in practice and we got to make sure they make it to the game. Reporter 7: If you’re not seeing success in the vertical game, is there a way to alternate your approach to open up more YAC opportunities? Canales: That could be a strategy as well, throwing and catching on some of the short/intermediate stuff um, but I do know you want to stretch the field at times and we get these vertical shots called and we try to make sure we are attacking the right coverages and then from there it’s confidence and the me to you factor which happens in practice. So what I got out of that was he is calling it but Bryce isn’t throwing it. It sounds like Bryce is checking out of it for better coverage match ups and / or thinking he doesn’t have good chemistry with some of the receivers. Also how he totally skips Reporter 5’s question is damning as hell.
