SEATTLE - New Orleans coach Sean Payton in charge of the 13th season has always remained a steady alongside.
Almost every game. Almost every snap. Almost always there was Drew Brees on the other end of the receiver, listening to Payton's words, and often torturing his opponents.
And now Brees went after surgery for an unspecified time to repair a wounded ligament near his right thumb. It's a test that Dalton has never met before being without Brees for a long time. It began on Sunday when the Saints faced Seattle's NFC friend.
Brees' disability enters what is expected to be a savior season for the Saints, and the Super Bowl can rest the pain that could have been victimized by a victim who did not search for the pain of missing the title game a year ago. And for now, there is no panic among the Saints.
With Alvin Kamara's escape from New Orleans, “This is it. Drew's dead, we all know. But we still have the same coaching staff. Orum I don't feel like Sean doesn't exist. Ready to fight. ”
Brees hasn't been able to start just three games since he met Payton in 2006. Not surprisingly, Saints was 0-3 in these games; Therefore this injury and this deficiency is very important. This will be Teddy Bridgewater's team - some Taysom Hill interspersed - for the previous six matches on the saints 'flag, and will likely consider Brees' return.
Iş The job for us as a coach is to put a plan that gives our players the best chance to win, Pay Payton said. Orum I don't know if anyone should change or rise, but, to a large extent, I think the group is doing it. ”
One person who does not expect to leave in any way is Seattle coach Pete Carroll, partly because of Payton's admiration for his work.
Roll After a few years of coaching, we look forward to this kind of match, Car says Carroll. That's what we're looking for offseason. ” "I have great respect for what he has done. He's a great coach and I love that he sculpted and reshaped his team for years, and you can see the difference."
The Seahawks had won their first two games for the first time, and Seattle won the Super Bowl title last season. But the Seahawks were lucky to reach 2-0. Seattle beat Cincinnati by an actor to open it, a game without the Bengals AJ Green. Last week they stayed at 28-26 Pittsburgh, where Ben Roethlisberger played only half of the game.
And now they face Saints minus Brees.
“You definitely have to remind men not to stop them from protecting themselves, because any day, the men in this professional league and the guys behind them are professionals, Seattle says Seattle line-up Bobby Wagner. In You can't take anybody lightly because they can have one of their best games. ”
Seahawks watch as they look to win the fourth against the Saints in Seattle:
TEDDY TEAM
Bridgewater started the 17th week last year, but its last significant start came before the 2015 season suffered a devastating knee injury that smashed it up for a better part of the two seasons and derailed its career. Bridgewater was 30 to 17 for 165 meters after taking over Brees last week against Rams.
Bu It's like being outside when it counts the most during the game, Bridge Bridgewater said. "It doesn't mean it's not a pre-season. I'll never accept what was given to the game. But just going there and competing at a high level says what that means."
OTHER QB
It's worth mentioning how well Russell Wilson started the season. He completes 78 percent of his passes, has five goals and no obstacles, and last week's ninth career match of at least 300 meters and three goals.
PRELIMINARY SURGERY
The Saints' pass rush produced nine sacks in two games, including Trey Hendrickson's end of the three-game reserve defense that seemed to have made a big jump in the third season. There were two sacks as a rookie, and there was none when he had a healthy game last season. For now, since 2017, the first team has received two more sacks from All-Pro Cam Jordan and Marcus Davenport, the first-round draft selection of more than 2018. The New Orleans front has been productive so far without the help of Sheldon Rankins in the first round of 2016, which was close to returning from the eyes of an Achilles tendon last January.
The saints will face a Seattle offensive line that has so far performed poorly, leaving four sacks to Pittsburgh last week.
CHANGING EVALUATIONS
How will the Saints use Hill? The special teams had the luxury of exposing the QB to heavy contact as an intense goal and as an option open to change because they used Bridgewater as a more traditional replacement in case Brees was injured. If Bridgewater starts, Hill will most likely be the primary backup; this would have meant Payton to turn down Hill's role as an assistant.
PERFECT AT HOME
The house in Seattle is always really good: Carroll has been exceptional under the first month of the season. Carroll has been 15-0 in September at home in Seattle since he took over in 2010. The Seahawks are the only team that is undefeated during this time in September.
