00:00 You're gonna see the Saints offensive line with some more problems Kenny Clark special player, but just whips McCoy here
00:05 This offensive line has got to be better going forward
00:08 All right. This is the trick play Saints get a little bit lucky here
00:12 You see Brian Brzee nice pursuit of the running back, but Jordan love if he catches this he's got 13 wide open over here
00:19 Well, I'll take a little bit late
00:21 Saints defense
00:23 recognizing the run
00:25 I'll say selling out they did a good job with coverage downfield
00:29 But if the Packers make this play
00:31 It's a big game for him. And obviously things might look a little bit different, but that's how football goes sometimes
00:39 Can't tell you how good it is to see Jimmy Graham used in the red zone. This is his first touchdown
00:50 in a while
00:53 Just nice little run on his route
00:56 And this is being able to get home
00:59 I mean when you do these types of things with Jimmy Graham good things are gonna happen big-bodied guy
01:04 Perfect window nice job
01:08 All right here we're gonna see the Mario Davis and Malcolm Roach combined for a tackle for loss
01:15 Malcolm Roach has quietly been one of those guys who just comes in and does something every week
01:20 But you'll see it Davis getting first contact on Dylan and then Roach doing cleanup job
01:27 Another week another week. We're talking about Brian Brizzi
01:30 Nice little pass rush inside here does a nice job getting his hands up at the last second to be able to force a pass
01:37 Breakup watch it again
01:39 You'll see Brizzi come in inside
01:42 And this is actually, you know him playing at the end position
01:47 They can use him all over the formation, but man, what a special player that the Saints got out of him
01:52 All right. This is sack number two on car Ramchick just getting beat
01:56 Rashawn Gary just a nice move getting home
01:59 We don't see that a lot from Ramchick. But man, this whole entire offensive line is really struggle. Watch it again here
02:06 Ramchick just getting pushed right here Gary doing a nice job fighting it off and getting the sack
02:13 Okay, nice job by Kim Jordan getting some pressure
02:16 They didn't get a sack on Jordan love today
02:18 But look cam come and force a little pressure
02:20 Love has to step up in his decision and it leads to a lot of more pass breakup
02:25 I thought the Saints defensive backs did a really nice job all things considered playing lights out, but watch it again cam coming
02:31 Just getting by
02:34 Maybe a little bit of a hold there, but nice job by him even better play by Lattimore
02:38 You know at some point we were expecting Rasheed Shaheed to get something
02:43 I mean you felt it last year. The guy was just one step away from breaking it open, but watch the long snapper coming in
02:50 He's got first opportunity some nice blocking by the Saints special teams gets past him cuts in
02:57 And then it's just all Rashid Shaheed doing what he does best
03:02 The last punt return the Saints had was 2019 when then Deontay Harris now Hardy obviously
03:10 Did it against the Seahawks on that road game?
03:13 You watch it again. You just highlight look at the long snapper
03:18 He's gonna be the first one that kind of gets in there
03:21 There's a little bit of a job on Ty Summers there
03:25 Nice blocking as you can see missing the tackle
03:32 Then Shaheed just does what he does best
03:35 Huge play for the Saints when they needed it and look, you know, it's unfortunate because these good plays are getting overshadowed by the loss
03:45 Look for three quarters the Saints made Jordan love look like nobody and just watch this decision
03:51 He makes into triple coverage nice job Tyron Matthew almost had this pick probably should have had it
03:57 You know you talk about the defense having almost picks
04:00 But also a nice job by Damari Davis and Jordan Howden rookie thought he played a pretty pretty good game
04:06 You see Granderson coming in but again throwing it in that window Matthew has a shot. They got to get those in the future
04:13 Look, I think Alante Taylor is one of the best players on the field on Sunday. You see him here
04:19 It's the quick little route
04:22 He's able to force one of his many pass breakups on the day
04:25 You're gonna watch it again as he comes in and I tell you what
04:29 I love Dennis every out Dennis Allen's reaction after this getting fired up
04:34 Saints defense doing their job. Look just appreciating Alante Taylor again
04:40 Packers wanted to try these deep shots, especially early and they did him late in the game
04:44 But Alante Taylor coming to play look I get people are talking about getting his head around and stuff
04:49 But I think the anticipation is there
04:51 reading some of the receivers body language and man for a guy who came in hadn't played the slot and
04:58 Just doing able to do things outside and inside in the same game is pretty impressive
05:03 Second year guy man. He's making such a big impact
05:07 Just another example how Alante Taylor affects games
05:10 He missed one early, but he did not miss this one
05:13 And we ended up being a 14-yard loss as a sack on Jordan love
05:17 Just getting in disguising himself just a little bit
05:20 You're gonna watch him coming in here off this right side actually the left side if you were looking at the field correctly
05:27 Just watch him coming in here footing was a problem in this game
05:32 That is one of the things that happened on his sack early, but you know, they looked at it again
05:36 This was deemed a sack and of course Dennis Allen fired up again on the sideline
05:40 You know running the football has been a very tough challenge for the Saints, but Tony Jones jr. Getting it done here
05:46 Some nice blocking by James Hearst
05:48 Keith Kirkwood out there that allows them to pick up a really big run
05:53 Facing on the wrong side of territory obviously Prentice going in motion Jones jr. Just making a nice move
06:00 Hearst with a nice block and then you see Kirkwood on the outside. Those are the things they need
06:06 So once you get a good run with Tony Jones jr
06:08 Here's Kendra Miller the rookie a little bit tough yards come on on the day
06:12 But made a nice move with tasting that quarterback you saw Derek Carr down at the bottom of the formation
06:17 But watch Miller again good patience good cut
06:20 Nice little play fake here
06:22 Just moving outside cut those are the types of things you need from a rookie especially with Camara come back
06:31 Chris Alave is just a different breed. This is his spectacular catch that he made and look nice little move here on his route
06:38 And just a one-handed catch and getting his feet inbounds
06:42 I've been talking about him when you talk about training camp him and Marshall and Latimer were clearly the MVPs of Washington
06:48 Hearst was some nice protection Carr does a nice job stepping up into the pocket last possible second just insane catch by Chris Alave
06:57 Saints definitely wanted this back. I know Derek Carr did Michael Thomas is wide open here
07:01 I get Carr was on the run, but man that is one where the Saints should have had a touchdown here instead of a field goal
07:07 This is just another
07:10 Example some struggles in the red zone. I thought it's turning corner
07:13 If you see Mike back in the end zone got to hit those gotta get those
07:17 Just more appreciation for girl on tay Taylor tackle for lost here just shoots through
07:25 With a big play to start things in the second half
07:28 This guy just plays in another level
07:31 Watch him again
07:34 Great tackle for loss on Dylan
07:37 It's another one of those plays by Jordan love
07:40 I don't know what he was looking at or seeing but Lonnie Johnson jr. With a nice read. He's got a quarterback on his eyes
07:46 Makes the adjustments honestly like filling the punt another game another Saints turnover
07:53 Remember last year this team couldn't get turnovers to save their lives and this year. It's a different story
07:57 Pretty good protection the Mario come in the last minute Johnson with the play
08:03 big Saints turnover
08:05 Thankfully Derek Carr is not gonna be out for this season, but man you talk about it
08:11 You look at the coverage downfield. He held it a little bit too long
08:13 You saw Graham underneath a little bit. That's just tough. You just look at it
08:21 Unfold just another sack nice blitz pickup by Kendra Miller
08:25 Can't fault Rashawn Gary for playing football. You got to be better there
08:29 Big back-to-back plays for the Saints where they get pass breakups. You're gonna see a latte Taylor here working from the slot
08:35 Getting a pass break up over the middle to start
08:38 Just another good play again. I think he was probably the best defensive player out on the field
08:45 You see some pressure coming just a nice little job over the middle look pretty clean to me
08:50 And you can see Adam the next play filled in for Paulson Adibo
08:55 Try to do it again. Maybe a little handsy there
08:59 But still another pass breakup
09:02 He did a really good job filling in for Paulson Adibo and just one of those examples of Dennis Allen said they had starting corners
09:09 He's another one of them
09:10 We'll see how it shapes out
09:13 Carl Granderson fresh off a contract a new contract watch his run defense here again
09:20 We've talked about him plenty. That was the area he needed to get better at but man
09:23 Another big play here. You'll see him again
09:26 Just that first contact from that left tackle just shrugging it off and making another tackle for loss
09:33 He's gonna be good if he can stay there
09:35 All right, you're gonna see this Taysom Hill run get wiped out due to Thomas hold
09:41 It was a little bit at the end
09:44 But a good run by Taysom Hill, but you'll see it coming in here
09:49 that Mike just gets a
09:52 Hand like you see it right there
09:55 But otherwise, it's a good job by Taysom Hill run the football
10:00 Look, we're Sean Gary had himself a day and you'll see the Saints go jumbo here and he just whips around Landon young
10:09 You know, they had to do some shifting because of Cesar Ruiz going out with a concussion
10:13 But you just got to be better. You got to give your quarterback enough time. This is just not not not working
10:18 They've got to get this cleaned up before they take on the Buccaneers
10:22 Was not a fan of play calling in the second half
10:25 Look, it's third and manageable third and short and you take a deep shot to Chris Alave. I understand that but you got Juwan Johnson
10:33 Coming across the formation and he was open watch it here
10:38 Johnson's just gonna come across he runs across her kind of with with Tony Jones jr
10:42 And he's open but the pass was already thrown. I did not like it
10:46 Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of this pass interference call on Alante Taylor, but it's football. I get it
10:53 You got to manage through it, but Taylor does a nice job on the route
10:57 Staying with the receiver step for step it gets a little handsy and towards the end where he steps back in
11:03 That's where the flag comes in, you know again. I've seen less called I've seen more called
11:08 Obviously, you don't have to be a Saints fan to understand that but you know love gets pretty good protection here
11:14 Just airs it out
11:16 And again, you're gonna see the the matchup downfield gets really handsy as soon as receiver cuts in that's tough
11:23 This is the Packers touchdown
11:26 You're gonna see Jordan love doing a really nice job on Demario Davis and look Marcus may had the the problem with the quarterback the other
11:33 Week and so look I understand it. I don't think that means the Mario's washed or anything
11:38 I think people need to keep that nonsense out, but it's just a good move
11:42 You see love just cutting inside the Mario think he's gonna go to the other side and it's a touchdown
11:46 But you look at the two-point conversion again love just buying time here and just being able to find the open man
11:54 See a lot of more playing on him. It was just as easy as you could get
11:58 I mean it was a big moment because that means the score could have been different
12:02 It could have been said of 1711 could have been 179 and it would have made things a little bit more a little bit different
12:09 This is another one of those third down calls look you only need a few yards and look you're gonna see Chris Alave get open
12:17 here late
12:18 With his hand up, but the pass was already thrown and once I'm going to Shaheed you had Jawan Johnson around
12:24 Yeah, Tony Jones jr. You only need a few yards and this has got to be better play calling better execution better play calling
12:30 I mean, this is just how it goes
12:32 You just got to do it. You can't afford that
12:36 They tried this play all game and it finally worked easy. See yet. I'm against Romeo Dobbs
12:42 Just a one-on-one matchup. I mean you talk about one of ones is perfect ball placement
12:47 There's not a lot that Adam could do I thought he had a good game
12:51 But this is just one of those things where you kind of just saw this coming
12:54 Let the Packers take the lead late
12:57 Can't do much about it
12:59 Despite everything that happened the Saints had a chance late
13:02 You get this big play from Winston to Chris Alave
13:06 Instantly flips the field. I didn't care for some of the play calls afterwards
13:12 But man Chris Alave just doing Chris Alave things and this is the type of thing
13:16 Saints were in a chance even with everything happening
13:19 Great great hookup from Winston
13:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
