November 11, 2007…Payton Manning threw 6 INTs against the San Diego Chargers. But he was drafted 1st overall so it’s ok. Imagine what ppl would say if he was Mr. Irrelevant 🤔. #SFvsBAL#NFL
Ok…first INT was on Brock. Late on the read. The other two were just bad luck and amazing plays by the BAL defense. But of course all Brock Purdy haters will see is 3 picks on the stat sheet. #SFvsBAL#NFL
Derek Carr is a terrible quarterback. At his peak…he’s average. But let’s call it what it is…this year he’s been awful. Can’t blame the O-Line now. He is who he is. #saints
A record deal: Joe Burrow has reached agreement with the Bengals on an 5-year, $275 million extension that includes $219.01 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history, sources tell ESPN.
In the #Saints first preseason drive:
- A couple plays with motion
- Swing pass to AK in space
- Screen to AK
- Split zone-like action for Chris Olave on play 1
- Eye candy with play-fake and end-around fake
- Good pressure recognition
Leave out the scoring and still good things
Derek Carr said when Jake Haener came off the field after his interception, he leaned over and told him "You know who else threw a pick in their first preseason game?"
The INT on Haener’s stat line may look ugly but context is key. He and the WR weren’t on the same page. Happens. But he was still 10-17 for 105 and a TD. He didn’t play bad. I’m excited to see how he grows from this game. Plus getting the win makes it a bit easier. #saints
