The showing in Los Angeles this week was much cleaner than the sloppy game the Saints played last week. Drew Brees did throw one interception on a pass intended for Ted Ginn Womens Mark Ingram Jersey , but that was the only turnover, which is encouraging. Marcus Davenport made his debut and did not disappoint. Taysom Hill had a better outing and the wide receiver depth chart may be the hardest one to finalize. Hill’s RedemptionTaysom Hillhad 4 turnovers last week when he was given the start over Tom Savage. He needed to bounce back tonight and he did that in a big way. He once again had a nice completion percentage going 7 of 8 for 66 yards and 1 touchdown. He also added 35 rushing yards and one touchdown. His rushing touchdown came in the redzone when he scrambled out of the pocket. He did a good job at going through his progression before deciding to take off. This is the kind of thing coaches like to see and could possibly keep Hill in the back up conversation, although Tom Savage looked good in his time on the field. Jake Roth-USA TODAY SportsDavenport and the D-LineThe controversial first round pick finally made his NFL debut and did not disappoint. He made a nice tackle on an end around where he used his long arms to tackle the wide receiver and displayed his pass rush skills. He used a rip move and showed flexibility to bend the edge and run the arc around the left tackle. Davenport got pressure throughout his snaps and combined for a sack with Onyemata. Trey Hendrickson continues to show his progress and his ability to key off the ball and explode off the line of scrimmage as the ball is snapped. He should get a large amount of playing time while Okafor is out and could possibly start even when he does return.Offensive Rookies continue to impressTre’quan Smith continues his stellar preseason hauling in 4 receptions for 39 yards and showing his football IQ by finding a soft spot in the zone coverage where Hill threw a laser to him in the endzone. Smith also caught a pass for a successful 4th down conversion. Boston Scott got some extra snaps this game and made the most of them. He showed off his elusiveness an ability to break tackles and the ability to catch passes out of the backfield. He could add some fun wrinkles to this already loaded offense. Kickoff CoverageThe kickoff coverage was pleasantly adequate this game, keeping the Chargers from reaching the 25 yard line two out of the three returnable kicks. This was a point of emphasis during the offseason and draft. Mike Westhoff was also retained this offseason for his special teams acumen. Its encouraging to see the team adapting well to the new kickoff rules.Jake Roth-USA TODAY SportsWide Receiver DepthSean Payton is going to have a tough time deciding how many and which receivers to keep. Michael Thomas, Ted Ginn, Cam Meredith, And Tre’quan Smith are all locks. The fifth and possible sixth spot are still up for grabs. Austin Carr had a nice game, playing primarily in the slot www.neworleanssaintsteamonline.com , he was able to snag 3 receptions for 38 yards, including one long catch for 29 yards. Tommy Lee Lewis is the guy who won’t go away. He led the team in receiving with 36 yards. His best play came on a deep pass from Tom Savage where he was able to beat the corner back and make an impressive over the shoulder catch. Brandon Tate looks to be the punt returner which gives him a spot on this roster. Based on the snaps in this game, it look like the sixth spot is coming down to a battle between Carr and Lewis.How important is the tight end position to the Saints? Last month, the Saints made a decision to remove Coby Fleener from their roster as a post-June 1 cut. The move happened after two disappointing seasons in the Big Easy, leaving much to be desired at the tight end position. During his tenure in New Orleans, Fleener produced 72 receptions for 926 yards and 5 touchdowns. Overall, Fleener’s production has been rather consistent over his entire career.Coby Fleener’s Career StatsYearTmGGSTgtRecYdsY/RTDLngR/GY/GCtch%FmbYearTmGGSTgtRecYdsY/RTDLngR/GY/GCtch%FmbCoby Fleener’s Career StatsGaren ArmbrusterIt was rumored that Fleener was adjusting to a learning curve for the Saints offense, so Saints fans believed that the Stanford product was set to explode into his role as the Saints starting tight end. Unfortunately New Orleans Saints T-Shirt , this was not the case. In 2018, Fleener suffered the fifth documented concussion of his career, which ultimately placed him on the injured reserve list for the remainder of the season.On May 7th, the Saints released Coby Fleener, stating he was unable to pass a physical.Since the decision to cut Fleener, the Saints signed former tight end Benjamin Watson, who will most likely split duties with current Saints tight end Josh Hill. With the loss of a once promising Fleener, will the Saints have enough fire power at the position to be successful New Orleans Saints Hats , or do they even need the position to be successful at all? If the offense follows the same trend it has over the last few years, then the Saints will have no problems moving forward.Saints Offensive Production Per Position Group (2013-2017)Garen ArmbrusterThis chart shows the amount of touches (rush) and targets (pass) each position group has had year by year. With Jimmy Graham no longer on the roster after 2014, production at the tight end position has steadily and strongly decreased; meanwhile, production at wide receiver and running back have seen increases over time. The most important thing in this chart is that the Saints offensive yards per game on average has increased over the 2013-2017 seasons.During the 2013-2017 seasons, the Saints ranked as high as the number one offense in the league and no lower than fourth. The lack of involvement at the tight end position has yet to hurt the Saints, and it shows no signs of slowing down with emerging offensive players on the team such as Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram, and Michael Thomas.In the end New Orleans Saints Hoodie , we have seen some incredible play at tight end over Sean Payton’s tenure as head coach of the Saints. Payton, with his elite offensive mind, continues to show that any position can be just as important as another within his system. The future is bright in NOLA, and things are just heating up.
