When teams lose, fans point fingers. This happens no matter the game, level of competition, or how bad the losses are. Yes, that even means preseason games, which people love to claim mean “nothing.”
That sports stereotype wasn’t absent Thursday night and Friday evening for (most) Saints fans. The Saints lost to the Browns in Cleveland, 20-14. It was a “disappointing” first week of the 2017 preseason for New Orleans. However, Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson, Mark Ingram, Cam Jordan, Delvin Breaux, Ryan Ramczyk, Marshon Lattimore and Kenny Vaccaro all sat out the game.
In other words, the majority of snaps went to second and third-team players.
