T.D Lined Up As DE, But Dropped Back For The INT

When I posted that Seattle article on how they beat Saints, everybody kept talking about their corners. But the article was focused on Seattle d-line and linebackers play that lead them to dominance, not their corners

 

And guess what... d-lineman dropping into coverage was one of the things they did to confuse and disrupt Brees

fantastic call.  I saw that TD was lined up in a 3-point and didn't think a lot of it.  Great play - show him as a DL, bring Kuechly, so gotta get the ball out fast, right at TD. 

 

 Saw CJ was deep in coverage at one point.  Seeing it of course means he got picked on, but you can't win them all

i noticed CJ dropping into the flats a couple times... a good throw from brees to jimmy graham negated it on one play

 

good to see us switching stuff up though, it takes a hell of a good scheme to trick drew brees, and it happened numerous times today.

Drew Brees can't see because of his height at times, so a lot of his throws are thrown where players are SUPPOSED to be. Exactly what happened there. That's why you see him trying to stretch his neck like a giraffe to try and see over the linemen, or he'll have a twenty step dropback to try and get a better view.

    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
