Well done New Orleans.

If you started the game with a script, I recommend scripting the entire game next time.

For the first quarter, you moved the ball on offense, showing patience and creativity. You played cover 2 on defense, something most didn’t think you were going to do but said you needed to do with Jason David at right corner back.

It was basically a show of two defenses not letting the other team’s offense get anything easy down the field. Two deep safeties, keep everything underneath. And we’ve learned that if you don’t play Patriot-style games on defense - disguising and rolling strange coverages - the only other way to slow down Manning’s offense is to play that deep cover 2 the Saints opened the game with.

But, for some reason they stopped. Or just started mixing in the kinds of 3 deep and quarters coverages that will get you beat.

As for Duece McAllister, well, he’s healthy. And that’s not really a good thing. He’s dancing around tacklers again, instead of running through them like he did last year when he wasn’t 100%. And he keeps trying to run like Reggie Bush it’s not going to work for him, this healthy thing. Even Reggie Bush can’t make everyone on the field miss like he thinks he can. Run forward boys.
