Film Study: Matt Ryan’s very bad no good terrible day

News source: Matthew Terry

It’s one thing to be outplayed by a 30-year old gadget tight end making his NFL debut at quarterback. It’s another thing to be outplayed by him while also getting sacked eight times. While Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan isn’t a stranger to being sacked, especially against the Saints, continually hitting the turf while Taysom Hill frolicked to a pair of touchdowns on the other sideline had to sting. So, that leads to the pressing question. Why did Matt Ryan get sacked eight times? Really, it’s because of two simple words. Coverage Sack.

Instead of going through every single sack that the...

How Taysom Hill and the pass offense match up with the Broncos Defense

Taysom Hill and the New Orleans Saints offense exceeded a lot of people’s expectations against the Atlanta Falcons. And the area they surprised people most was through the air.

With Hill making his first career NFL start at quarterback, he averaged over eight yards per pass attempt and posted an adjusted completion percentage of 90.9%, which was third-best among 30 qualifying QBs.

As you can see in this film study (PERMALINK), he was supremely accurate in the intermediate levels of the field and overall just made sound decisions.

While Atlanta’s defense isn’t as bad as some make it out...

Week 12 of the 2020 NFL season kicked off on Thursday with wins by the Texans and the Washington Football Team and it continues with 12 more games on Sunday, which means that the 24 teams in those games submitted their final injury reports of the week on Friday.

The teams playing on Monday night won’t release their final injury reports until Saturday and are not listed here.

With that housekeeping out of the way, here are all the injury reports for Sunday.

LB Kwon Alexander is already 'an infectious leader' for Saints after just 2 games

When the New Orleans Saints traded for linebacker Kwon Alexander in early November, they knew what they were getting on the field with the red-haired LSU product.

In the time since then, Alexander is fitting in and then some — despite only having played two games for the Saints so far.

"I feel his personality immediately now," coach Sean Payton said. "It feels like he has been here eight weeks. And that's a good thing. His work ethic on the field, he's an infectious leader."

That energy is what sets him apart. After Alexander's first game as a Saint, fellow linebacker Demario Davis...

Texans officially release Kenny Stills

Attention, contenders: A veteran receiver with plenty of experience is available. As long as none of the non-contenders claim him.

The Texans officially have released Kenny Stills. Because the move comes after the trade deadline, Stills will be required to pass through waivers. Every team will have a chance to submit a claim for “dibs” on Stills and his five remaining 2020 game checks, at $410,000 each.

Stills, originally drafted by the Saints in 2013, was traded to the Dolphins in 2015. He signed a four-year, $32 million deal to remain in Miami in March 2017. Miami traded Stills along...

Saints' Andrus Peat, Ty Montgomery ruled out for game vs. Broncos, Deonte Harris questionable

New Orleans Saints starting left guard Andrus Peat has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos due to the concussion he sustained last week against the Atlanta Falcons.

This will be the second game Peat has missed this season after missing the Week 4 game against the Detroit Lions due to an ankle injury.

Veteran guard Nick Easton will likely play in Peat's place. Easton has been a reliable backup guard for the Saints the past two seasons, starting in five games this year while rookie guard Cesar Ruiz was hurt and then re-acclimated.

NFC Playoff Picture: Where the Saints stand heading into Week 12, potential seeding changes

Yesterday at 11:25 AM
News source: Madeleine Hudak

The NFL playoff picture this year is more crowded than ever. With the expanded format of 14 teams this season – which could potentially expand to 16 – the postseason race is less decisive by Week 12. An unfortunate consequence of the 7-seed expansion, however, is the now incredibly elusive first-round bye. This year, only the No. 1 seed is awarded that bye; its importance cannot be understated. In the case of 16 playoff teams, there would be no bye week.

In Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, the Baltimore Ravens managed to fight their way there with a Wild Card berth. Since then, not one team has...

CSC’s Fantasy Start/Sit, Saints vs. Broncos: why Taysom Hill is worth starting

Yesterday at 10:13 AM
News source: Hayden Reel
Replies: 0

The Broncos have been decent against wide receivers in fantasy this year, ranking 14th and allowing only slightly above the league average. Thomas got back on track in a big way last week tallying 104 yards on 9 catches in his first game with Taysom Hill at quarterback. Hill targeted Thomas 12 times last week, relying heavily on the Saints #1 WR to move the ball through the air. I know Thomas’s fantasy owners have been disappointed with his production this year, but I believe the reliance on him in the Taysom Hill led offense will continue against an average Broncos defense.

Saints defense proving good things come in bunches with 9 forced turnovers in last 3 games

The Atlanta Falcons were running out of chances, but they still had life, driving into New Orleans Saints territory with about five minutes to go needing a touchdown to cut the deficit to single digits.

It was a third down play. Saints defensive back Janoris Jenkins was lined up in single coverage on Calvin Ridley. As soon as Ridley broke off his route inside, Jenkins made his move, breaking hard and looking back into the backfield.

Quarterback Matt Ryan’s pass was off the mark, a little bit too far toward the middle of the field, and Jenkins picked it off, effectively icing the Saints’...
