PFF notes:

-Patrick Robinson spent Sunday manning the slot for the first time in his entire career. The former first round pick looked like a natural in his 26 snaps allowing a single catch for nine yards on three targets with an interception and a pass breakup. Robinson certainly played well enough to retake his old spot, but with the results he produced it might be wise to continue to get him snaps in the slot.
So, is Prob better suited for the slot?



-The complement to McCoy’s monster day is unfortunately the former all-pro right guard. Evans was powerless against the defensive tackle’s array of pass rushing moves. Of Evans seven pressures allowed, two came within two seconds of the snap. You can’t chalk it all up to McCoy, though. Evans worst pass blocking attempt came on Clinton McDonald with 10:19 left in the fourth quarter when a simple swim move put McDonald into Drew Brees’ lap.

Signature Stat: Evans now has the third worst pass blocking efficiency of all guards.


-Thomas averaged 4.25 yards after contact and broke six tackles for an elusive rating of 212.5. His performance is all the more impressive when you consider he played just one third of the Saints 93 offensive snaps in the game. Thomas won the game ball, as well.

-It was a nearly flawless day for game ball recipient Pierre Thomas who had his highest grade since Week 2 of the 2012 season.

He looked fast as hell on the few blitzes he got

I think this is his last season as a Saint. He's just not good at all right now. The team needs to consider an interior lineman in the top half of the draft next year.

I'm pleased with how Grubbs has performed this year. Shockingly he's outplaying Evans by miles. Streif has always been rock solid. Armstead gets better every week. He's a stud run blocking on the left side which is something you don't see often. He's the total package and should be an All-Pro at some point in his career.

Robinson played the bulk of his rookie year in the slot with Porter & Greer on the outside, and that's the only good season Robinson has had & yes that is where he is best suited in the NFL
