The Saints were pretty aggressive in their 24-3 win over the 49ers last night. That was the first time I watched a preseason game from start to finish in a long time. Just some things I'm curious about, noticed, etc ...
- Not sure what was accomplished by blitzing a team that obviously wasn't prepared for it.
- Where did all of those defensive linemen come from? Pretty deep there.
- I liked what I saw out of Jonathan Casillas and Johnny Patrick before he got hurt. Cam Jordan might not be starting for a while.
- Not going to worry about the first team offense yet but I see some of the same things I saw last year. They're not doing the "shock and awe" thing they were doing in the Super Bowl year. Enough with the sluggish starts.
- Both teams looked tired to me. Joe Morgan looked gassed by the end of his punt return TD.
- How can the Saints keep Joique Bell if they've already got Ingram, Thomas, Sproles, and Ivory? He looked great last night. Can the Saints keep five tailbacks? If you put him on the practice squad, someone will grab him.
- The starting wide receiver group (Colston, Henderson, Meachem, and Moore) has nothing to worry about.
26 days until Saints v Packers
