>>>>>>For pictures of the LdL gameday narrative, click here: Saints vs. Bucs 09.07.08 Here are a few observations having attended and re-watched the win over the Bucs.
• White jerseys at home. Hmmmm.
• The Saints were able to win with Colston only getting 26 yards and the following players never touching the ball: Stecker, Karney, and Deuce. This is not to say we can win without these guys. Rather it demonstrates the depth of talented weaponry on the roster.
• Shockey seems to be filling the void left by Kyle Turley
• Pierre had more rush yards than Reggie on fewer carries. Tres bien!
• The Tampa Bay offense’s only sustained drive of the first half was accomplished via two-minute drill. And it still only ended with a field goal.
• Not a single LB blitzed during the first half. Coach O gave Garcia fits just by sending the front four (Ellis, Smith, Grant, Clancy) on every play.
• Gary Gibbs started two rookies on Defense. Cedric was included in the aforementioned. Tracy Porter saved a touchdown in the endzone – on 3rd down, no less.
• For every run play Jonathan Vilma was on the field, if he didn’t make the tackle, he made the runner change direction. His total was 9. This tally was matched by…
• Scott Fujita, whose interception ended the game.
Sublime and/or Ridiculous:
• As seen in picture #12, fan across the aisle from us wore an eye patch with a fleur de lis
• During the fourth quarter, the camera went right to Gruden, just in time for him to put in a big ol’ dip.
• The NFL has a new commercial that features a remake of “Everyday Is Like Sunday” by Morrissey
Given his understanding of the ironic and the macabre, Moz would fit in perfectly as a Saints fan.
