Hit or miss.
That’s the simplest way to put how Taysom Hill played in the New Orleans Saints’ 21-16 victory over the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. A ton of good plays were combated by a patch of potentially-disastrous ones.
The Saints linebackers, on the other hand, had nothing disastrous to combat their positive plays. They were studs all game, and are continuing a path of improvement towards becoming one of the top linebacker groups in the league after the acquisition of Kwon Alexander.
I took an in-depth look at these two facets of the Falcons game — Taysom and the linebackers — to paint a clearer picture of exactly how they’re performing on the field and what we can take away from it.
