I legit can't believe what I just saw, we pretty much just did to them what they did to us last year, not quite as dominating but pretty close aside from that 5-7 or so minute stretch in the 4th quarter.
I'm not even going to talk about the offense because we all know the deal on that side of the ball, but defensively I was surprised by how the guys were flying around tonight. Really tells you that hustle and aggressiveness on defense can make up for some deficiencies, we didn't do that last week and looked like shit against a 3rd string QB, tonight they were hyped up and flying around and held down one of the best QB's in the league for the most part.
I thought the DL got some decent push tonight, nothing dominating of course but we got Brees off the spot and made him uncomfortable. I thought Crawford, Scandrick, Church, Moore and Carter were pretty exceptional, McClain made a few plays, Durant and Hayden flashed a bit and Spencer actually looked decent considering the circumstances. Hopefully Carter's injury is nothing too serious and hopefully Claiborne's fool ass sits out a few games so we can just play Moore.
It'll be nice if Lawrence can come back and give us some explosiveness off the edge because we seem to be getting some decent pressure but we lack that explosive element.
