Radio Broadcast vs Saints

I almost always watch the games, even if I record and watch later.  Was caught out of town, driving home and listened to the radio broadcast last night.  Forgive me if these themes have already been mentioned, but here are the themes I heard.

 

FYI - it seemed to me that even while we still had the lead, the guys in the booth felt like we were squandering the game. 

1. On the last play before the QB run, flop and penalty; during the timeout the crew noted we were going with mostly DB, only a couple of linemen.  Then they said -oh, oh - we showed that too early and the Saints had a chance to see and change their play - obvious coaching error.

2. Luke (I believe) kept noting how the D wasn't ready, didn't have hands in the dirt, etc.  - coaching and players. Especially on the drive where they moved almost without resistance.  He sounded like he was ready to go tackle someone since the Defense was being so obliging.  

3. Sounded a lot like Jaycee was transformed from shutdown corner into the guy they targeted specifically - it does seem like he's making plenty of highlights for the wrong reason.

4. Noted that Icky was just manhandled and tossed into Bryce - not speed rush, sweet move, just bullied like a child. Sounds like the kind of guy we need to open the bank for - he has a habit of folding at the worst times.  

5. Noted the holding call on Moton was bogus - unless ref shared wrong #.

6. The Anish guy - good voice and pretty good play by play.  However, every once in a while, he has to make some obscure reference or use a word he thinks people don't know because he seems more interested in sounding smart than delivering the game to a fan.  Not as bad as Mixon but enough to make him seem like a nerdy guy who gets to do football instead of a fan and expert that wants to help listeners to be able to "see" the game.  Just annoying and unnecessary.

Yeah it wasn’t an optimistic atmosphere during those long NO marches. 
 

Luke is really good at analysis. Lightning fast with it. 

Would you call him a super processor? 

It would be nice to have at least one of those in the organization.

I loved how descriptive Mick Mixon used to be. He had the uncanny ability to paint a picture with his words. Miss that guy.

    • Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.
    • Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
