Hot Takes Welcome (Post Tampa Bay Loss)

Jesse Custer said

Oh, I'm not arguing that 27 points should be good enough for a win. I'm also not saying it should be designed rollouts all the time. I honestly felt like Kubiak was able to use more of his playbook with Rattler than with Carr because of the rollouts. I just would've liked to see more reaction to the blitz schemes. If Taysom played yesterday, I think the game goes a different way. Dude is the best hot read option in the NFL, IMO.

Unfortunately I don't think Kubiak really had anything he could use for their blitzes. They started playing the edges wider with LBs and DBs looking for the designed rollout so now the Saints have to go more to the pocket, and we all know the status of the Saints interior OL. Add in combo coverages and well designed blitzes coming at a rookie QB, the Saints OL telegraphing screens too easily, the blitz beaters Kubiak tried didn't work. Once Tampa realized they could cheat against the rollouts and not get hurt up the middle, it was curtains.
