give your fucking left tackle some help!!! the kid was overmatched all night but did they give him a te to chip, nope sure didnt. did they get at least a chip with the back? nah he has to get out in the pattern. what a shame that kid just couldnt do it and somebody needed to see it.
Why, because they've lost one game there? It's one of the top 3 homefield advantages in football (right up there with Qwest Field in Seattle and Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.)
Did you see the sack-&-fumble that ended the game? They kept Pierre Thomas into block-- except they put on the right side... not Brees' blindside and not the side Ware was on. Plain dumb.
their left tackle was getting overmatched that entire fucking drive, which began with a bit more than 2 minutes left.
No, not max protect. But if they were keeping Thomas in the backfield to block (which they did), why put him on the right (non-blindside) away from Ware?
cant disagree with this! not even to keep people in to block just get a chip on him to help the guy... he was getting beaten on the first step regularly and then he was so off balance to try and get out cause he was slow on the first step that he was getting bull rushed. just a chip from the te or back would have solved all of that. and it was so much more than the last play it was really the whole game. poor kid needed some help and never got any that i saw.
