Offense
Brees was probably pressured more last night than any game in his career. Look for much the same the rest of the way. Can't give any QB time to throw especially someone like DB.
OL has underperformed this year. Run blocking and pass protection have been not so good the last 2 weeks. Bushrod is an average left tackle at best. Constantly having to roll blockers over for chip or 2nd OL to help. Also, too many penalties staring with Bushrod again. Look for us to step up the development of Charles Brown in the offseason.
RB - Ivory, PT and Bush is a formidable lineup. Once healthy look for this unit to improve in the post season. Bush is a sport performer. If you didn't appreciate PT value to this team hopefully you can now. He is our most valuable back. Pay the man.
WR - Colston has a lot of catches but I think he has had way too many drops this year. Meachem and Henderson have been up and down. Lance Moore is the best receiver on this team. Pay the man
Defense
It's been an up and down ride with this defense. Started terrible, got better against weak teams then until last night struggled against good teams again. Not many turnovers but better against the run outside of Baltimore and first ATL game.
DL - Not bad. Alex Brown has come on as of late. Will Smith and Sed have been solid but not spectacular. Wilkerson and Hargrove have been serviceable. Little to no pass rush from front four. Need to step up intensity in post season.
LB - Vilma has had a very good year. Shanle, Clark, Dunbar have all been okay.
DB - Beat up most of the year this unit has been up and down even when healthy. Look for
Malcom Jenkins is a player. Flat out our best DB. Sharper okay since coming back. Veteran presence helps. Porter and Greer have to step it up in the post season.
ST
Coverage units have been better as of late. Kicking game solid need to continue on all fronts.
Post Season
Are we really hitting our stride? Winning 7 of 8 I'd say so. The key will be getting into the post season with a plan to stop the pressure we have seen on Brees the last two weeks. We will see it against Tampa this week and then in the post season. I look for SP and GW to make adjustments. It's time to take it to the next level Boys.
