FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Under Pressure: It Gets Harder
Saints center Brian De La Puente was asked to do the impossible on a second-and-10 play call in the team’s game against the Buccaneers last Sunday. Blocking Gerald McCoy is a tough enough task on a normal play, but on this play, the Saints asked De La Puente to block McCoy, even though McCoy was lined up in a 3-technique, on the left guard’s outside shoulder. The play design had left guard Ben Grubbs pulling for a fake sweep. The hope was that the play-action fake would sucker McCoy into flowing to his left, towards De La Puente, who would pick him up. It didn’t work that way. Instead McCoy fired upfield immediately at quarterback Drew Brees. De La Puente was left to try to do the impossible--get his head across the hard-charging McCoy’s body to slow McCoy down. It didn’t work and by the time Bress had finished his play-action fake and started to look downfield, McCoy was picking up his first sack of the season.
