Keuchly Knows the Saints’ Plays/Offense. Called them out all night.

The linebacker was calling out plays the Saints were running throughout the night. Even though this is a bi-annual occurrence, it remains an impressive spectacle whenever it happens.

The linebacker wore a microphone for ESPN throughout this contest, and early in the game, the broadcast showed him calling out plays before they happened.

“I got a great feel for these guys,” Kuechly said in the huddle. “I know exactly what they’re doing. Just listen. I’ll let you know when we’re checking it.”

The Saints have tendencies and these better defenses are also professionals. They study and know what the Saints are doing. I have every faith in Payton/Brees adapting. In many ways, it’s better that this is happening now. We’ve seen the Saints stay ahead of NFL defenses for over a decade now. I have no doubt they will adapt, especially with the bye week and home playoff games in the Dome.

We just need to get the OLine healthy and desperately need a #2 WR to step up.

Keuchly isn’t some defensive savant. They’re tipping plays somehow, and it started at Dallas.

Still took that L.


But man he's a great player. Hate that he had to play for the Panthers.

on the Saints one TD scoring drive, he looked lost. Taysom gashed him on the read option, and Kamar killed him on a mean cut back

The great teams will self-scout periodically. Now is the time for the Saints to do it. Throw off tendencies for the "second season".

Seems SP has started repeating formations and ensuing plays, holding them back for a playoff run. Didn't seem to notice repetitive plays during the 1st half of the season, but started noticing during Dallas.

Just a theory, so I also agree about getting the OL and WR healthy for the post season.

It’s week 14. If you’ve noticed ppl know what everyone is running at this point. It’s about execution and talent. We will throw a couple of wrinkles in every week but we aren’t rewriting the offense every week. We have 2 major issues. 1) Armstead isn’t playing 2) We only have 1 non running back to throw to. But we are 12-2 and just went 2-1 on a 3 game road trip.

The guy is a good linebacker but in noway a perfect player. We gained 155 yards on the ground.


If he knew every play he sure let them push the ball when they committed to the run on the last drive.

If the saints recievers would have made a few plays last night we arent talking about this at all.

The 6 games before last night the Saints scored 31, 31, 34, 20, 41, and 38 against the Panthers.

If Luke knows what they're doing he hadn't executed that well until yesterday.

Keuchly is an average NFL linebacker, and I really don't understand why people droll over him. Before the game, Booger did a piece on his high effort plays...which was basically him chasing down a RB 20 yds downfield because he either line up wrong, got blocked, or flat out torched. Then they were drooling over his high football IQ because of all the stuff he does and says pre-snap. He would occasionally make one or two presnap calls....like every MLB in the NFL...WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?!?

I think the biggest reason for our offensive woes the past few weeks have frankly been having to play division rivals on the road back to back. Right after a tough Dallas defense.

Meh.. He made that comment about "knowing all the plays" then the announcers went with it and showed him saying random words before the play. He never called out what play or who was getting the ball.

Yelled at a player to go blitz and then told a guy to watch the guy in motion.


Maybe he did know the plays but the times the announcers tried to "prove it" with him mic'ed up it didn't show any evidence of him knowing shite.




I also loved how they kept saying how smart he was and great tackler he was after we would blow by him and he would catch up and get a tackle after a 10 yard gain.

Imagine him in a Saints uniform.

The defense would become all world.

Mad respect for a player playing with a very disrespectful QB.

To quote a friend's facebook feed last night:

quote:

So what have we learned so far in the game? The ESPN announcers reeealy want Carolina to win, and they’ve all swiped right on Luke Kuechly.

Pretty much all division rivals that play twice a year every year have a great “feel” for what the other team is going to do. Hopefully the second game with them is Bridgewater handing off to whoever the hell our third RB is and getting Smith and Kirkwood experience

Ya know, this could just be the homer in me, but I heard the announcers say this shite last night, then play the clip, and not once did I hear luke say what our playcall was... it was more like he was shouting out their defensive playcall to his teammates after he checked in/out of something

Keuchly is a great LBer, no doubt, but the slobberfest was (predictably) over the top
