Official Preseason ( Week 1) Gameday Thread: Saints @ Patriots

[manxman2601]

I didn't even know Vellano was still on the team. Lol

Give it a few weeks.

I don't want to speak too soon but Flowers clearly has the talent. Might be the long term answer for Nink over the coming transition in the next few years.

Don't forget to fast-forward the, you know part.

Yeah, I will.

 

[jah]

Just me or Humber has looked like a hell of a tackler?

Want to put him on my 53 over Freeny but based on last year (he wasn't good but the staff clearly likes him) and his extension, he's a near lock.

 

[manxman2601]

FFS. Wish I'd watched the Saints commentary now.

My recollection is that dislocated elbows are not typically season Enders. The most vivid in my memory is Koy Detmer. I think he missed 3 or 4 weeks with a very grotesque dislocation. Although each case is unique...

Slater's elbow dislocation last year was gruesome and he was back practicing in a week IIRC

Good pocket presence from brisset there.

 

[BobDigital]

Overall a lot of good and bad things this game. It will give us something to talk about over the next week though that is for sure.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Derby looking good tonight...some key blocks and good catches.

 

[Wheelman]

Iosefa gets beats on a block. Doesn't seem good in pass protection.

 

[Kdo5]

I want a Brissett TD drive to finish it off!

 

[Mack Herron]

Derby is a keeper.

Not to start a firestorm, but Brissett doesn't look like that much of a dropoff from Garropolo. His pocket presence is better than i expected....plus he has the body to endure hits at the NFL level. Garropolo is a toothpick and looks like he's one hit away from a serious concussion

 

[BobDigital]

FFS. First a Pats challenge now the Saints are using TOs... This is preseason game 1. Lets just play the regulated time and get out of here.

 

[woolster22]

Who blocked the fg?

Vellano off the LG.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

WoW!! . Brissett to Derby is very encouraging. Me likey

 

[Froob]

FFS. Wish I'd watched the Saints commentary now.

Yeah they're def better than ours. I watched the game last year while I was in Saints country and they were solid. Spoke highly of the Patriots too.

 

[raduray]

Brissett knows slide

Overall particularly with what i have heard in practice he has surpassed my expectations tonight. Hope he can use this game as a springboard. I want him to succeed of course.

I want to see him progress through his reads though. I am not seeing that.

 

[manxman2601]

That was nice from Brissett.
