And, hopefully, we'll have Talib. Being able to give safety help to Peters while leaving Talib on an island against Thomas changes this game. No guarantees our defense is any better, but it's hard for it to be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, who else watches and analyzes every Rams game to the point where they'd see something like that? Because we're Rams fans we must be wrong? And it's just a coincidence that I was right today? Okay, Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talib can certainly do a better job on Thomas. It was hard to do worse than Peters, but I think Talib is one of the worst matchups for Thomas. What scares me even more, is Donald. We did a good job of limiting him today, but next time may not go so well. Interior pressure is one of the best ways to beat Brees, and Donald is the best in the game.

J-ALL-DAY Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 30 minutes ago, The LBC said: If there's one assessment I can make of Peters it's that no amount of bad play is going to affect his confidence (honestly, at this point that's a bad thing because it's a lack of humility, I feel like, is the biggest impetus to him showing any willingness to make adjustments in his game). Dude has an ego the size of Ric Flair. That was my original view on this, but clearly he has never experienced this. He was getting super upset towards the end of the game and it can't be fun to be picked around the way he has been lately. I just don't see how it benefits anyone at this point to have him following opposing teams #1 WRs. If he plays his side it could help him get his confidence/form back. That's what he was used to of playing in KC as @Jakuvious mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that would work. NE used to do that quite often a few years ago. But I mean do any of the corners really have to leave their sides? Why not just keep Peters on the left side? Or is Wade's system just set up that way to have the corners follow certain WRs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///mcompact Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Saints were the better team tonight and won it fair and square despite the homer's cry of "the refs screwed us...I got analytics to prove it, bro" posts.. You're 8-1. Act better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like those aren't good adjustments though if it involves Peters in man on Michael Thomas in the slot. That's a horrendous matchup. Even would've been when Peters was playing at an all-pro level, just from a skillset perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least three of the catches from what I remember had Peters on Thomas in the slot. But two of them involved Thomas motioning to the slot as Brees was snapping the ball so he didn't really have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Thomas lined up in the slot originally, I recall Joyner or NRC covering him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he ever was was clearly enough of a problem. I just know he was from the start on the long TD. I'm sure Peters can play RCB. But I know we made sure he was never in the slot, unless there was no WR out wide on the right side. Just doesn't have the short area quickness.

Ingram motioned out of the backfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
