That degree has to be quite small. The EDGEs still plays contain. Jared Verse is a menace, but dude is not the bendy type & I expect him to keep struggling to sack us as long as Kyler is the QB.
When the edges play contain it really befuddles Kyler especially if the ball doesn’t come out quick.
The middle starts closing in. It obstructs his sight line and induces panic and late throws.
Of course this doesn’t happen every time he drops back. But the blueprint is out there and I don’t see how we overcome that.

The OL sucked, especiallly the IOL.
Meh...Brown looked worse than last year and Adams looked like a new starter. I thought the others played fine. It's game 1 and o-line doesn't get enough contact in the preseason and it was on the road in a loud venue. I saw enough clean pockets and runs that it was an ok performance. If it is similar play in week 9, I would view it differently.

2 of the sacks were on Kyler.

PJJ and Froholdt were the best as expected.
Adams was average.
Brown and Williams struggled.

Browns concerns me, because he benefits from playing between PJJ and Fro - Meaning he only has to play his own game and not do many adjustments

I think he is the player Will Hernandez will eventually replace.

A new starting five, so maybe we should cut them a little slack.

Give them some time to play together as a unit.
A new starting five? All 5 of them started games last season. But for injuries they all would’ve played together most of the season (with Adams being subbed in).

I’ve always seen brown as the weak link, believing Adams as a rook last year would improve.

the first sack was on a boot that Cam Jordan blew up - it looks like maybe one of the TEs should have at least chipped harder but didnt (?)

and fwiw: it looked to me like the Saints were fully prepared for the boot game. Even the 3rd down conversion on the first TD in the redzone -- that was tight.

It looked like our LT and TE got tangled up a bit, and Jordan had a full-speed free pass.

Scheme issue on that one.
