Deshaun Watson in Concussion protocol

[tiamat63]

Saints Defensive EPA is... not good.

I'd expect Shedeur to find success today.

I just read where they're starting Watson against Houston. - Per 'source'.

@Orion I kind of assumed he’d be back in the saddle.

Feels like a year since they’ve played a home game

@Dutch-Oven Well, they're home now until December 20th.

Phew! That said, I'm thinking their front 7 has a better pass rush than the one that just that had Sander's looking like a deer looking into headlights for too much of the game Sunday. My guess is it's a combo of a lack of preparation in the film room and focus as well as some inevitable rust. I didn't see a QB that looked hungry for the opporturnity he had until it was almost too late. I don't expect everyone to agree with that especially since the OL was a hot mess. However I think back to the types of QB/leadership we won with throughout the 80s with Sipe & Kosar; and I feel like I deserve to demand better considering how long ago that was. Thay had occasional bad days; but it wasn't ever because they didn't prepare for those hunting them. That might have been the most winnable game on the schedule yet; but to see a penalty fest unfold showed an overall lack of concentration epitomizing what happens when there's a lack of leadership or confidence on the leadership.

Just in case any extra motivation/incentive is needed this week - Watson is going against his previous employer. Just a guess that he'll be pepared...
