After analyzing the New Orleans Saints’ “pick” plays during the fourth quarter earlier in the week, I wanted to take a deeper look at the offense to see why they were struggling to produce despite having so many offensive weapons. This game had one glaring issue to me: Russell Wilson did not play well. He lacked pocket awareness at times and occasionally misread defensive coverages which led to his interception and a missed opportunity.
An example of his lack of pocket awareness can be seen in the Paul Kruger sack at the 6:05 mark in the first quarter.
