Take it for what it’s worth. Some conversation concerning our loss last night before we close the books and move on tomorrow:

The Saints offense is a work in progress with new quarterback Derek Carr, but they are able to work out the kinks with a 2-0 record thanks to their defense. 

After holding the Titans without a touchdown in Week One, the unit kept the Panthers out of the end zone until the end of the fourth quarter of Monday’s 20-17 win. They held the Panthers to 164 yards before that final 75-yard drive, sacked Bryce Young four times and recovered a fumble after the Panthers quarterback lost the ball on one of them. 

Carr and the offense didn’t get much going in the first half, but finally connected on a couple of big plays in the second half that led to the touchdowns that made them winners in Charlotte. When the game was over, Carr praised the defense for giving the offense time to find its groove. 

“That is a very big part of the reason why I came here,” Carr said, via a transcript from the team. “Any team that I talked to was a team with a defense. I played these guys. I knew Dennis Allen. I know what it is like and how difficult it is. All I want to do is win. So, I was like, shoot, if I can go there and have a day like today — didn’t play my best in the first half, come back, play good in the second half and win a game? Like, I didn’t have to be perfect for four quarters and we won. That is awesome. I don’t like that still. We won, but I am still sick because I should have played better. I can help the offense more. I sit back and I am already analyzing it, right? But to have that defense to hold us, keep us in there until we got clicking in the second half, I mean, it helped us win the football game.”

The Saints could use a sharper offensive effort in Green Bay next week, but they should feel confident that their defense will give them a chance even if it doesn’t come together right away.

      Hope Koch recovers (he’s stated numerous times he doesn’t like to be called “koochie”) soon. But he does not instill confidence in the crease. I don’t have any confidence in any of our goalies, healthy or not. Andersen when available gives us the best chance to win but he’s never available.    Team has to explore trade options soon.

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.
