Titans’ Bass fined $17K for Brees hit

The Redskins are even worse, just 29th against the run, allowing 132.5 yards per game. That might be a tad exaggerated, but it seems that it’ll be about establishing her own rule with new faces, and the least amount of people possible to link the team with the previous regime. They won the Super Bowl three years later.

I know the Saints are ranked in the bottom of nearly every defensive category, but they are not facing an offense that can light it up.

The ‘Skins offense isn’t lighting up the scoreboard; they only average 20 points and 329 yards per game.

If not for the penalty, the play would have been Bass’s first sack of the season. “Are we getting off the field on 3rd down?” Payton and many other Saints employees who have been loyal to Tom Benson throughout the process are reportedly concerned with the possibility that Benson’s family could gain a controlling interest in the franchise and start severing ties with anyone who supported the family patriarch. He’s the only player capable of being effective as a strongside linebacker in the base defense and serve as a hand-to-the-ground edge rusher on the Saints’ four-man front in passing situations. If that happens, then it could be a long day. Look at what Delaine Walker did last week.

One of the biggest reasons has been a spate of injuries at the linebacker positions as starters Hau’oli Kikaha and Dannell Ellerbe as well as backups David Hawthorne and Ramon Humber have missed entire games and/or chunks of playing time. And if the Dallas Cowboys tank the rest of the season (like, say, the 4-12 range), don’t be surprised to see them pop up in a Payton discussion despite the five-year, $30 million extension Jason Garrett signed last season. The defense just has to avoid committing the costly penalties that have haunted them at certain times this season. Drew Brees has been trying to make the most of the offensive players he has to work with. Last week, the get off and the kick was fine. Said groundwork assisted in no small part by the stalwart quarterback, Drew Brees.

The Saints have done a decent job at times against the run, which is not good news for the Redskins. They allow nearly 5 yards per carry. They gave him all that money to produce, not take zero snaps in the fourth quarter like he did last week.

“I knew how much we wanted to win that first game as a Saint for so many of us”, Brees says.

“I felt early on we had our opportunities to get out ahead and score a few more, and all of a sudden, we got a turnover”, Payton said.

The lowly Tennessee Titans, a team that has lost six straight games and now performs under the direction of interim coach Mike Mularkey, stand between the Saints and a winning record. “I think it is a byproduct of how they, philosophically, want to pass the football”.

Las Vegas has this game as an even line. “So, I think what we do mostly, anyways, we just, we worry about our execution and so however a team decides to play us or whoever’s on the field, we can just adjust on the fly”.
