I don’t know if there is a more high effort every play player in the NFL than Cam Jordan. I have never seen him take a play off, even at the end of games when the other team is in a hurry up and everyone is gassed. It’s not like the Saints give him any rest. He may go down as the best and most durable Saints defensive lineman ever, and I have seen them all.
I concluded after the first few games this season that the Saints made a mistake paying big money to get Demario Davis. I concluded wrongly. He has turned it on in the second half of the season.
I don’t know to what extent these things are related, but the Saints defense has been immensely better since acquiring Eli Apple. Apple has been every bit as good as Lattimore this year.
I was strangely not resigned to the fact that a Panther score was inevitable after the touchback. To the contrary, I figured the defense would get a stop. I can’t recall many times in the past where I was actually confident our defense would hold on at the end of a one score game.
The Saints blitzed every play on the Panthers two minute drive. That was smart, I hate seeing a team who has dominated on defense go to a death by a thousand cuts prevent defense at the end. I am not sure another qb might not punish you for that. But it worked with Cam Newton who was terribly innacurate when rushed. His shoulder is obviously not right. To his credit he is gutting it out, but he could ruin his throwing motion forever with the compensations he is making.
Sean Payton > Ron Rivera. Nuff said about that.
Michael Thomas and Mark Ingram are the offensive versions of Cam Jordan. They give 110 % every play. I love high effort players.
Will Lutz is quietly having an all pro season.
It feels like Thomas Morestead has been our punter for thirty years. His angled punts are incredibly concise. I am convinced he could kick free throws at an 80% clip.
How many Super Bowls would Drew Brees have with a running game and a defense? How much better would he be this year with a top tier tight end and true deep threat opposite Thomas? A decent slot receiver would help too.
You could put Alvin Kamara in any team uniform with any number and I would recognize his running style after one run. The list of running backs I could say that about is quite short.
If the Panther coaches are smart, and there is scant evidence they are, they would shut down Cam Newton now. I hope they don’t. We play them again. He is not going to figure out how to throw straight between now and then.
I am going to contribute to Saintsreport to help Andrus make sure our home here doesn’t crash from the traffic it’s about to see on our run to the Super Bowl.
