From the start of this one, the Saints were playing aggressive. They were punching at footballs, trying to get that game-changing turnover. Aggression and sometime ruthless abandon is nice to have on the defensive side of the ball. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the Saints have a strong defense with defensive guru Dennis Allen at the helm. On offense, the aggression and gun slinger mentality of QB Derek Carr can sometimes be a bit much and has in the past got him into turnover issues. Turnovers and costly errors cost them a game they should have won by 10+. This is a playoff team and if they minimize mistakes throughout the season, this could be a championship team.

I don’t think Harold Perkins is a linebacker! There, I’ve said it. A lot of time in sports, you can see “it” in a player/ They stand out amongst the other 3 and 4 stars. Harold Perkins is one of those guys. He stands out. The problem that he’s facing is he is still playing out of position. At linebacker he’s talented but either raw or unable to recognize where he should be. I personally believe that if you put him on the end with his hand in the dirt and told him to go get the quarterback, he would be back to what we witnessed as a true freshman.

The Cowboys are still running Zeke out, usually on short yardage needs, but it seems clear that Rico Dowdle has emerged as simply a better option across the board.
