New Orleans | 6 | 19 | Lake County
We played our third game in a row on the road and displayed incredible offensive consistency. We managed to score just 6 points in each game despite great opportunities to score more. This time, there is an good excuse. We played the rook QB. He didn't do bad considering. Passer rating was below 70 and the passing percentage was not great, but he did pass for over 200 yards and NO INTs.
The defense after the first drive did rather well. After giving up 74 yards rushing on the first drive they stymied the rushing attack for lake county to just 90 yards in the third. The down side is giving up too many 3rd and long situations. We gave up 6 third downs that were 6 yards or more and 3 that were 10 yards or more. We only had 2 sacks and just on turnover (a force fumble), but we had 6 hurries, 2 knockdowns, and 2 block passes.
Some positives. When we are healthy on defense, we give up less than 20 points a game. With 7 or more defenders out, 30+.
However offensively we had 5 games in which we scored 10 points or less and only 3 games in which we scored 20 or more.
With a huge salary cap surplus and a draft, I see a fun and bright future for this team. There a good core. It is a question of finding the right pieces.
Next up, back at the friendly confines of the Superdome to take on the Ohio River Sharks.
