Saints Film Study Notes vs. Titans

  • Saints pass rush makes a big difference from the start.
  • Carl Granderson is going to get paid if he keeps doing what he's doing. One of his rushes helped lead to a Marshon Lattimore interception.
  • Michael Thomas looks strong in his debut, and Derek Carr threw him a dime to start.
  • Chris Olave appreciation.
  • Pete Werner makes a crazy play that doesn't count, but should be appreciated.
  • Special teams matter, and there were nice plays by Zack Baun and Lonnie Johnson Jr.
  • Bryan Bresee puts the pass rush moves on display.
  • Demario Davis pressure leads to Paulson Adebo pick.
  • Stopping Derrick Henry when it mattered most.
  • The Rashid Shaheed connection from Derek Carr for the score and to help ice the game.
