Shaq Thompson

[Jeremy Igo]

So far not great. 

Anyone else notice how much he was out of position yesterday? Big reason the Saints were able to run so well. He took himself out of entire plays with over pursuit.

To be fair, it seemed like virtually everyone was out of position quite a bit yesterday. 

But, I'd be lying if I said we were getting out of Shaq what I would expect from a former 1st round pick in his 3rd season. Starting look like we spent a 1st round pick on a rotational caliber LB.

I think he was out of position on their first touchdown pass too. Yesterday was just a poo show at all levels.. except for CMC and Gano (even though they clearly don't trust him with anything over 50 yards)

Not sure what Wilks expected by making linebackers cover slot receivers. Michael Thomas had a field day.

I didnt get that either. Igo just posted the snap counts and Captain was only in for 11 plays.. seems so strange

We made Michael Thomas look like Julio Jones yesterday. Had Julio actually been playing he would've hung three bulls on us again.

Yea it was odd Munnerlyn wasn't in the game much, was thinking that watching the game. Wondering if he was hurt. He made a great tackle on a screen pass late in the game.

And when they ran a screen on the side we were blitzing that was painful.

[Jon Snow]

Good thing they gave TD a raise because he looked so good running 3 steps behind the play all afternoon.   Everybody sucked yesterday.

Davis was no better unfortunately, saw multiple occasions of him being out of position and PFF gave him a very bad run defense grade of 37. Dline had no contain all game, the backs got to the edge so easily and only a handful of times did they get any penetration.

To be fair, Captain was largely terrible in his 11 snaps so there's that to consider as well.
