Game thread Saints VS. Titans (9/10/23) (4 Viewers)

Let's see how they look after half-time. I refuse to expect perfection on the 1st game of the season. Hopefully we can find a way to pull out a win.

The Titans always win these type of games. Guess we need our D to win this

Looks alot like last years saints so far....

Especially on offense.

 

[Innotech]

Umm, we score as much points as the Texans right now. Offense is turrible.

we are also playing a really tough defense

The way our offense is playing, being down 3 with the Titans getting the ball 1st is a bit scary. Penning needs help frfr. He is just not adjusting at all. Beat you once, shame on them, beat you 3x, you are the official whipping boy.

I’m at the game and been watching the offense closely - I don’t know if it’s the route concepts or just rust - but the receivers are not getting open (aside from that olave route on the pick )

It looks like the routes are taking too long to develop considering that Penning is on roller skates in pass pro.

Carr and McCoy are clearly frustrated on the sidelines. Something has to change. This Titans line is blowing up the saints interior and getting heavy pressure with the end rush (obviously). Carr is very uncomfortable in the pocket this half.

It’s the same offense we’ve been running since 06….the league figured it out a long time ago.

Hebert is unloading on penning and the offense

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

Carr needs help from the running game tho. He ain’t Brees, throwing that much is a Brees like game plan and they are putting it on Carrs shoulders a bit too early w/ awful oline protection.

Bresee is a problem, Taylor bounced back from an early snaff in the slot.

Penning.
Carmichael.

Fix those two things, and we're not losing this game.

I’d put Peat at LT. Penning is lost

He has been mentally and physically rocked this game. DA needs to monitor this better in game we are lucky the score is this close

 

[dataussie]

Gotta expect some rust in the first outing . Hopefully we can lift in the 2nd half.

 

[Dallas_Saint73]

Defense can’t hold much longer. Need the offense to step up and have some long drives next 2 Q’s.

 

[PHSaint518]

If Allen doesn’t bench Penning and move Hurst to LT with Peat coming in then he should be fired on the spot.

 

[gregh]

They need to Call some screens against this pressure. Have we even tried yet

Tennessee has a good defense and runs the ball well.. they have one of the better defensive lines in the league. The offense hasn’t looked great, but I think a lot of that is on penning. Carr has had NO time to throw the ball and it feels like that interception was a product of all the pressure he’s been feeling.

Defense looks great. Our offense is a lot better than last year. The titans were 7-3 last year before tannehil went down and if not for a terrible fumble by shaheed this game is tied or we’re up.
