The New Orleans Saints have beaten the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a snippet and the NFC South with 36:27 in this WEEK 8 again designed. Fortan rank the Bucs around the seven-time super-bowl champion Tom Brady only with 6: 2 at the top of the division, behind it, the Saints now follow 5: 2, the Carolina Panthers (4: 4) and the slightly deferred Atlanta Falcons (3: 4).
However, the victory over Tampa Bay has paid New Orleans expensive: Starting Quarterback Jameis Winston has not only excreted with a knee injury already in the second quarter, meanwhile the diagnosis is known and has confirmed the fears. The 27-year-old has pulled himself a cruciate ligament tear, also the meniscus has been affected. This is Winston out for this season.
The options: Hill or Siemian?
Now Head Coach Sean Payton has to decide whom he gives trust in the next few weeks. The most obvious solution would certainly be Tayom Hill. The 31-year-old all-rounder, who holds the nickname Swiss Pocket Knife due to its flexible application possibilities as Running Back or Receiver, has been a SAINT since 2017, thus also knows coach Payton s best. The problem only: Hill, which has been charged with the direction of Starting Quarterback for quite some time and lost the preseason duel with Winston, has been missing since Week 5 with a concussion, has not played against the Bucaneers. And is only at 138 NFL passport attempts.
And that brings to Trevor Siemian into the game: The 29-year-old playmaker was selected in 2015 by Denver Broncos in the draft, but has never been correct and finally 2020 after trying for the Vikings, Jets and Titans as a substitute for replacement New Orleans came. There Siemian waited for his chance - and they just get against the Bucs (159 yards, a touchdown). Head Coach Payton has also explicitly praised the performance of his protease: He did a good job and was relatively relaxed. He was not perfect yet. But he has shown some things we can build on video analysis.
Of course, it is also hardworking, especially fans and experts. So name like Cam Newton (Free Agent) is currently in The Big Easy. Dreamer even bring the resigned legend Drew Brees into the game. This is now a football expert at NBC - and there also been addressed to a possible comeback: I will be back on Sunday here (in the commentator box, D.Red.). Brees also trusts firmly on Siemian, who probably will probably enjoy confidence: He will do well. That s why he was brought when I was injured last year. He is a smart guy who can quickly internalize the game system.
