We made it thru with little or no injuries in Thursday's Pre-Season game. I do believe though we had a couple of bruised egos based on the way the First String of the Patriots handled the First String of the Saints on both sides of the ball. It took Drew Brees and the offense 3 series to finally settle down for a 20-play drive taking 10:00 minutes off the clock. Let's hope there are more of those and less of the 3 & outs we saw Thursday.
It is no secret that Sean Payton has scheduled a tough Pre-Season for his offense going up against teams that primarily use a 3-4 alignment. Payton purposely did that because when the games start counting we will play several games during the season against 3-4 defenses. Yes, they are more difficult to contain and that is exactly why Sean Payton chose to get as much practice as possible against that defense. Look for a much better outing this week against the Texans, a team the Saints and Payton are a little more familiar with. The Saints should have a little more success this week.
