00:00With this Saints defense and I'm really this was one of those times where I was you know you think
00:21about the opponent and you think about the quarterback and you think about the youth of
00:25the quarterback with Bryce Young and you wonder did the Saints play this game with Bryce Young in
00:31mind but what they tried to do to him and I was because what happened this was a the Saints I
00:38feel like you've got some guys that are legitimate pass rushers when you talk about Cam Jordan when
00:43you talk about Carl Granderson you know when you also you know Chase Young who they you know was
00:49with the Washington and then with the 49ers you know these guys are all can rush the passer but
00:55this was a weird game in the way and I had to look this up because I kept noticing on tape the
01:00Saints had and I'm just I'm just this is exactly what it was from the metrics the Saints had five
01:08off ball players generate a pressure in this game yeah they were they were they were blitzing yeah
01:14they've got a good linebackers yeah they sent they said it was the Saints sent 12 different
01:19players who did not play edge or defensive tackles on blitzes in this game they got eight
01:25pressures on 14 blitzes so that's something I don't know if it was one of those things there
01:30was one time I was watching there there there there nickelback Alante Taylor had three sacks
01:38in this game so you know here's here's you know here's a team that was bringing safeties they were
01:43bringing linebackers they're bringing nickel guys they were just they were doing things in a way that
01:49really gave the Carolina Panthers a lot of problems and I don't know how you go into this
01:55game thinking like okay well this might be our plan but they might also feel like there was one
02:00of the teams that was 28th in the league last year in sacks and they might feel like you know
02:05what if we don't generate pressure we're in trouble in these games so this could be the new identity of
02:11the Saints as a finding a way to bring pressure whether it's slot pressure safety pressure
02:18linebacker pressure that might be that way because of there but I mentioned about Granderson and
02:25Jordan and and also with young guys think are capable pass rushers but it was through that it
02:31was pressure through other means that they were able to get that to get that home
