AMA: Post-Cowboy's Game

fishing4food said

If you told me the Saints were 25 points better than the Cowboys at the beginning of the season, I would have said you were crazy. The execution of the offense and to also take Micah Parson's out of the game was good coaching. You can tell the players have bought into Kubiak's system. The defense has a swagger and the players are not afraid to tackle or hit someone. This not the same team as we have seen since Drew retired.

Question: Can Olave and Shaheed continue to carry the load for the receivers since A.T. Perry is a healthy scratch and is non-effective this year? Is McKinistry the new replacement for Latimore?

100% they can. Shaheed in particular looks SPECIAL this year... his routes, his understanding, the angle of his breaks. He's playing at an all-pro level for what he's being asked to do (Olave is still the man and the more complete WR--just considering how Shaheed got here, his play has been extremely impressive).

One thing this system--and it seems, Kubiak's philosophy--is that it is ALL ABOUT getting the best players on the field. There are far fewer 3 and 4 WR sets (10 and 11 personnel)... it's almost exclusively 21, 12, and 22 personnel, and very little rotation. Olave and Shaheed are taking the lion's share of snaps. Has any other WR had a target in these first 2 games?
