And now Hill will start.
I like Teddy Bridgewater and felt more comfortable with him filling in for Brees than I do Winston...
But, guess we’ll see
With the all HC and OC changes in Winston’s brief stint with Tampa, he was set up for failure. He didn’t help his cause, certainly. But he can sling the ball, and still very young and healthy and he’s in Peyton/Brees system. Pretty good spot.
The nod to Hill, though, I’ll give him that. That’s throwing him a bone for a lot of work.
Yep Taysom Hill gets the start. Go Saints!
It is going to be VERY interesting. I am still not convinced that this leak was on purpose to throw the Falcons off. Anyway, I am looking forward to Hill starting. We know what all he can do and this will change our offense up - I just hope his is more accurate with passing than he has been. He certainly has been awesome in every other position. If Hill does play the entire game, we are going to be heavy on the run and our defense needs to play like they did the last couple of games. I really believe that we STILL GOT THIS!!! Any other coach and I would be nervous.
No one can say that they aren't curious about the game tomorow, no matter who Quarter Backs in the game.
I think Hill adjusted to the game speed by the second half and did a tremendous job. It took a half to get him there. I think he will be fine as our starter. LOVED those deep passes!!!! Like you, though, it was our DEFENSE that was unbelievable! 8 SACKS and constant pressure! Allowing Atlanta no touchdowns is no small victory!!!!!
And 2 of Atl's 3 FGs were long range, 50+ yards, meaning they didn't really get that close on the drive. The Dirty Birds were sitting at negative yardage in the 2nd half until their mid-4th qtr drive netted about 40 yards before it fizzled out. And, the Saints left at least 13 points on the field, probably more, due to penalties and turnovers. Game was not as close as the final score (24-9).
