I sure hope you are correct on all counts~! Though all of our guys who have been thrust into overachieving have stepped up and gained confidence, it’s those few blown plays which have cost us those close games and THAT has GOT to STOP~!
We NEED those tight plays to go OUR WAY and NOT be huge gainers for opponents wouldn’t you agree? I recall most of those important plays becoming INTs for Sharper and the backfield we had at one time and THAT made all the difference in the World for our record and team confidence. The Line would rush better knowing the secondary would deliver if only the D-Line could produce a bit of pressure. The reward factor was huge and each player fed off of each other’s outstanding play.
THAT is the kind of success I’m looking for and The SAINTS are about a half a second late on those huge plays. To achieve is just around the corner for our Defense and I’m certain of that barring any further injuries where we may have to bring in yet more new players. The second and third stringers are doing excellent jobs for who and what they are and getting better, seemingly, with every game.
The SAINTS are on a two game winning run and have beaten a team which hadn’t lost a game until Christmas all of last year and took on a team of The Chargers who needed a WIN as desperately as we did and WON both of those games. We now head into KC to play a very productive team who knows how to RUN THE BALL~! Can we counter them? Can we STOP them and do our own damage against them with OUR RUNNING the ball? Getting excited to see how we continue to play these next coming games. It’s a strong line-up we face but it WILL tell the tale of just how much we’ve grown, because IF we can make these games WINS? It’s going to be a season of great fun to be a part of once again~!
