Damn, do you guys have some depth on D or what? I was impressed by several back-ups. Wish I had caught the names or had a Miami roster handy. One back-up DE looked great. We might be looking at several of your cuts because we have very little depth on D.
The local TV coverage acted like it was a pre-season game as well. They phoned it in, never giving the down, distance, who made the tackle, or anything of consequence. They did have lots of good close-ups though where you could never see what was going on. You could do a nose hair count if you wanted to.
I hope my Saints will take a good hard look at who you guys finally decide to cut loose at RB. Solid bunch from front to back. I think Robert Edwards would be a great fit in NO, but him only having one year left and wanting to start could be a problem. He played very hard tonight making the Saints gang tackle him often. He had a questionable fumble while fighting hard for extra yards.
As expected, the starters for both teams were in for micro-seconds tonight. Why the Saints had Mel Mitchell as the single starter in the lineup in the game is beyond me. He is out for the year with a torn ACL. Is Freeman still on the trading blocks? Heck, we had our 4th string QB playing SS in the 3rd and 4th after Mitchell went down.
Looked like our second string OL had a decent outing in the 2nd and 3rd, but that is where some of our depth is.
All in all, it looked like a 4th pre-season game. Too bad there were so many dings to starters and reserves. Good luck on the season. Hope to face you guys in the post-season "somewhere". :D
