Quick notes about Rams v. Saints

[Speeps]

-Run defense was not at it's best, because of poor tackling. Will improve as time progresses. This is a direct result of the lack of tackling in practices, not talent or scheme. I watched the game twice and a lot of runs would have been negated by simply tackling.
-Offensive line had trouble with blitz pickup especially in the second half, nothing worry about yet, as it's still early in preseason (QB's should have gotten the ball out a lot quicker on a couple of pressures.)
-Stedman Bailey looks great.
-Great running back and TE depth.
-Not as many pre-snap penalties as last season, but penalties needs to be clean up.
-No special teams penalties
-Shaun Hill will win games if need be. True pro.
-Gregg Robinson looks nice in the run blocking, can tell pass blocking is a work in progress.
-EJ Gaines and Lamarcus Joyners will be favorites for a long time to come.
-Aaron Donald, won't show up on the stat sheet this week, but his impact was felt. He lived in the backfield because of quickness, and his power in underrated.
-People were worrying about GW blitzing, anyone complaining about Mr. Ryan who was blitz happy last night?
-This team is light years ahead of where they were the previous two preseason.
