I saw a difference yesterday with pressure with Onyamata being back (1 Viewer)

I believe that Rankins will be the icing on the cake. Because I saw that middle collapsing in the rams game and I expect it to really be chaos when rankins comes back soon. We gotta get our offense more possessions until brees comes back.

Our defense should be clicking once Drew comes back. Onyemata gets his legs and Sheldon getting back in there.

Well that’s good.

One of the positives yesterday was constant pressure on Goff. We're going to need that this year.

Davenport and Onyemata both had good games. Hendrickson is still providing pressure too. Good to see that d-line doing work. It was against a much better o-line than the Texans, so definitely a bright spot.

Really I was happy with the defense as a whole. They collapsed at the end but hard to blame them.

Hendrickson now has 3 sacks in 2 games, Cam has 2 and now Davenport is on the board with 1. When Rankins comes back, assuming he is in football shape, this DL will be fearsome. I just hope the offense can contribute over the next 6 weeks or so!

Love The Big O.

Same thing I saw.

The contact call on Apple was a terrible call. And Kupp flat-out shaked Lattimore. It happens.

Beyond that, not much to complain about defensively.

Collapsed because they had to stay on the field the entire 2nd half. Hopefully the offense can sustain some drives this coming week.

This’ll be like watching the Saints in the olden days when the defense was the bright spot I hear, maybe.

So much pressure there was a sack fumble return for touchdown.. oh wait

They forgot there was a second half.

They forgot there was a second half.

That is on the offense because they could not sustain any drives....d on the field too long.

 

[jayd265]

no coincidence it basically fell apart after the no td thing. it looked like it totally deflated the D. for good reason too.

It seemed like it to me too, but I was curious and looked at some stats. In fact the TOP was almost evenly split - Saints had 11 possessions with 57 plays that took 29:39; while Rams had 11 possessions with 61 plays that took 30:21.

So it looks like the back end of the D gave up too may big plays again. Sound familiar?
