interceptions. Let's hear from both Peyton and taysom Hill
about hills performance in his first start of the season.
I thought man. I thought he played with a lot of heart,
a lot of guts, you know, we didn't help many in the first
half. You know, I'll be honest with you. We got to catch that
first interception. We got we got a
perfect coverage. Look we get
to drop a ball and make a good play on it.
That's unfortunate.
You know, I'm not going to
rush to any conclusions
having not seen the tape or anything but
man, I feel like
I feel like we did some things really well tonight.
And then we did some things really poorly. Obviously, it's
tough to win a game in, turn the ball before times. And so
as you look at the stats, you look at
what we did. That's that's obviously the thing that jumps
out to you. That's, that's disappointing. You know, I made
a comment to
coach and half times a day. I like some of these QB runs and
I didn't know we were going to call them all
on, on the next drive. But
yeah, I felt like that was nice. It's just kind of nice to
get A little bit of a rhythm,
get the ball moving and
just get going. Just getting into the game a little bit and
you know, I'm a physical player and
it's fun for me.
And as we said, he ended up with 101 rushing yards. Only
the third quarterback this year to do. So Lamar Jackson has
done it a couple of times, just in fields. Did it for
the Bears. And now taysom Hill is done it. And
he did enough that he's going to get the next start. And as
you said, the playoff
race may be over for the Saints at this point. They were five
and two. That's what makes this 5 and 7 record even more
amazing. I mean, boom, 5 and 2 goes to 5 and 7, just like
that. They beat the
Buccaneers and and fell apart. After that, just amazing to
think that there's still 3 and 0 in the regular season against
Tom Brady's Buccaneers
and their last win came in the Superdome on Halloween against
the Bucks and they have not won a game. Since then, an injuries
have a lot to do with it. But hey, nobody's going to shed any
tears for anyone. I'm sure that's
one of the we've talked about before. It's one of the Bill
Parcells saying it doesn't matter, you'll win or you lose.
No one's going to say, well, they didn't have this guy that
didn't have that guy, either one of
your loss for five, straight games. Now
the same It's have lost.
You know, Mike, I think about taysom Hill who you know, you
and I have spent time with them
both at the Super Bowl. Me and New Orleans.
He's an eminently likable
leader.
That's how I would describe him. He's a guy who is
teammates really like info
in part because he sacrifices his body,
you know, and he is an old school
football.
Now, on that first drive, in the third quarter, that he was
talking about where he rushes for 42 yards and puts them in
field goal position. And then it's 9:47 and he say, okay,
they're in it.
I guess I would just say this.
I know that taysom Hill says hey, you know, I like some of
those quarterback runs, but Sean Payton is smart enough to
know that
when you're a quarterback
and you're consistently
running between the tackles.
You're not going to have a long
Shelf life. And you saw some of the hits that he took some of
the punishment that he took last night. Look, you compared
her to Lamar Jackson on the at the top of the show.
Okay, and that to me, is the difference. Lamar Jackson as
a runner.
Is this Generations? Franco Harris?
And, for those who don't understand that comparison.
I'll tell you, Franco Harris, knew where the sidelines were.
Okay, and he knew That, you know, yes, I could probably get
an extra yard and a half here.
But instead of taking the beating that would consistently come
from taking that extra yard and a half for burrowing, for door
diving for it. I'm going to be here to play a full season
and that is what I fear. If a look we could watch that game
last night Mike and we would say
that the best thing that they could do right now is a very
heavy running. A dose of running
of taysom Hill, but I just think it's fraught with
problems. And I think that you do that too long,
and then it's going to be back to Trevor Simeon.
