Video After Week 2, is the Saints pass defense a concern? - Film Study + Podcast (2 for 1!) (1 Viewer)

Most shocking thing about that play is Klein running step for step with Landry and actually taking him all the way to end zone fairly well.

Dude is fast for a LB (albeit Landry is slow for a WR).

I think it's a game by game thing and situational. I wouldn't be surprised to see them return to that against certain opponents.



Yup, you're in the right time frame. They were defending the market with 5 underneath (rushing 3). That cover 4 could have worked, but would have left "the hole" a little more open for attacking. Still probably a preferable result though. I personally would have been happy with a traditional Cover 3, maybe run C3 buzzi if you're worried about the middle of the field being attack for first down.

Thanks Rev for taking the time to clarify.

Also thanks for all you do, your insight is invaluable here and appreciated. When I’m back on my feet I’ll subscribe to the Athletic for your takes. And I don’t believe in that on principle. ?

Idk Bonchie if it messed with Landry on that play, but my Browns die hard fan friend says Landry has a knee injury.

I appreciate that, and enjoy the back and forth!
