re: Olave's brother took to social media to question the Saints' gameplan vs. Chiefs

Think KC knows that Olave is our best WR? Maybe they game planned for him and allowed Tipton to get the single coverage? Tipton must be great in practice as I have not seen a lot to get excited about in games.

I'm talking about some of the deep routes Tipton was targeted on. Those deep fly fades and stuff... double coverage isn't going to affect those. They're hard to defend, and they're hard to complete because you need perfect placement near the sideline 30+ yds downfield.
But Carr hit those passes to Tipton a couple times, dropped it exactly where it needed to be. Tipton just didn't catch them.

My thought on that, if Carr wants to throw those low-percentage plays downfield, why not send supposedly your best hands guy on that route? Hell, if you're facing double-coverage on him, at least that would open the middle up for the TE and Kamara.

Tipton going deep is a decoy, moves one guy. But if you can actually hit that route consistently, you don't do it with the decoy, you do it with a threat.
