Don't have all the stats

New Orleans Saints
– While he made several big-time throws downfield, including hitting Brandin Cooks (+1.0) for a 46-yard gain at 14:14 of the third quarter, this was a sloppy effort from QB Drew Brees (-2.1). The Eagles heavily punished his poor ball security under pressure, scoring immediately following both fumbles and his fourth-quarter interception, all of which occurred on the Saints’ side of the field. Brees took more shots downfield than in previous games—58.4 percent of his passing yards came through the air, up from his 40.1 percent season average—but that came with increased risk, as the Eagles back seven got hands on the ball six times.

LT Andrus Peat (-0.2) came into the game having played just 29 snaps through the first four weeks, but the Saints’ top draft pick held up fairly well in his first NFL start. (ed. note..f--- you naysayers) He allowed four combined pressures in 48 pass blocking snaps, with Brees’ pocket movement both helping and hurting him at times. He was close to surrendering pressure on a number of plays, but managed to anchor late and keep the rusher clear. In the run game, he had a few rough moments against Fletcher Cox (+4.9), including at 13:52 of the third quarter, but the Saints mostly ran away from him with only seven carries going to the left of center, and just three making it outside of left tackle.

– Another solid game from CB Delvin Breaux (+2.5), who picked up his third-straight positive grade after a rough start to the season. He spent more than 50 snaps in coverage, allowing a reception on six-of-seven targets. But just two of those gained a first down, while Breaux jumped the seventh pass for an end zone interception at 13:18 of the second.

Top performers

DE Cameron Jordan (+5.3)

CB Delvin Breaux (+2.5)

LG Tim Lelito (+2.3)

CB Kyle Wilson (+1.7)

RT Zach Strief (+1.7)

I wasn't planning on posting them this week because of how a vast majority of this board fails to understand how advanced metrics work, and want to trust their "eyeball test" over every-snap grades by paid professionals.

Yet again Cam getting double teamed and our interior DL not being able to push the pocket... Sigh, shite is getting old. Frick you Bill Johnson.

Senio Kelemete is Bryce Harris only worse. My goodness, we could do better with someone off the street then browner in coverage. His one good play for ten poor plays is not an acceptable ratio.

I'm curious, what was Brandon Fields' grade? Had to be like -20. Shows how crucial Morestead is to our ST.

-0.6

You rarely see grades outside of +/- 1.0 on ST because of the limited snaps.

lol no

You could be an unpaid PFF "analyst" if you want to be. The guys who grade these games are grunts who watch countless hours of game film in hopes of landing some mythical full time paid position at PFF

There's a huge drop off after Richardson. They attacked the "underrated" Eulls, Barnes and Edebali and won every battle.

I read Richardson had some hip issue. Didn't even know he was on the injury report. The Eagles exploited this. Richardson holds up well, and proved that.

They ran away and doubled team jordan the whole game.
