First of all, let me say this was a GREAT win. To go on the road and drop 48 on the Eagles is a huge statement. Brees is, without question, the best QB in the NFL right now and the way the defense is making plays gives me more confidence about any Saints team ever that we can go deep in the playoffs.
<OBut I think we can constructively critique the way we play because I genuinely believe we can play the 'perfect' game at some point this year
1) Two games in a row with a long kick return is a bit concerning. I don’t think we are at the point in the season when we can give teams short fields. I think we will get there by mid-season, and two games do not a trend make, but the team should continue to make upgrades on the coverage unit.
2) I think Reggie is still trying to do too much on punt returns and should be a bit more patient.
<O<O
3) The drive at the end of the half by the Eagles was not something I would like to see out of the defense. Yes, they only kicked a FG but there will, again, come times when the D needs to step up and make a play.
<O4) Morstead kicked the ball out of bounds and Devery made a another catch that -while he turned into a first down - he ran back that would have lost a first if he was tackled. Ticky tack stuff that the team can be coach up.
<O<O
That's pretty much it. GREAT game and Who Dat!
