Saints QB Depth Chart -- Updated 11/19/2020...

The NFL requires team publish their official Depth Chart. This week, the Saints updated their official QB Depth Chart to the following:

QB1 - Drew Brees
QB2 - Jameis Winston
QB3 - Taysom Hill

I, for one, am Not Mad!!!

Sean Payton with young and fresh 5,109-yard arm... Lawd Have Mercy!! Focusing on getting Winston's arm strength integrated in Payton's Personnel Grouping... this will be Epic!! Payton can put DHarris on the outside and Winston can reach him 50 yards down the field. Payton can put 2-TE, Cook-Trautman, in a formation with RB41 or Murray and attack defenses with screens and seam routes all day. Unless you roll with the Black and Gold, This WILL NOT BE PRETTY!!!

During the record-setting yardage years, Drew Brees would take shots and engineer 1-minute drives. Back in those old days, the Saints DL would tire, DBs would struggle and the defense would give up tons of passing yardage. The yester-year Saints were an offensive juggernaut but the defense could not keep up. These Saints are different. This Saints team has a DL that is 8 studs deep. Let them eat!!

For those that know, like me, winning football includes controlling the Time Of Possession. I hear you. Winston can dink and dunk or take the shots down with field. In the last game, the 49ers had knocked Brees out of the game and were down one score. The 9ers coaches were probably feeling pretty good when Winston came in the game cold off the bench. But the wind went out of their sails when Winston extended the lead by 10 points.

In the Super Bowl Campaign, Brees fought off competing offenses with his deep shots and the defense had Darren Sharper. Sharper lead a defensive backfield that killed drives with interceptions and won the Super Bowl with a Pick6. Part of that group was Malcom Jenkins. Jenkins now leads a talented group of DBs who could gel at just the right time. Fans comment about the Winston turnovers but any fan of the NFC-South have seen starting QBs turn the ball over -- it's practically par for the course. In fact, I expect Matt Ryan to be a generous contributor to the Saints Turnover Total this weekend. It's Par For the Course!!

I digress... but Winston's arm and Jenkins DBs are exactly the way the Saints should attack the ATL Falcons. The Falcons have nothing to lose and a HC with something to prove. Winston has practiced against the Falcon defense with Morris was HC at Tampa. I believe Winston can out duel Ryan in his Mercedes Dome or ours.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry Sports Fans. The run for the NFC #1 Seed starts this weekend and you don't want to miss it!!

GO Saints!!
