Patty's Players - Volume 6

Patty V • August 28, 2022

Hey Yo.



We’re back with another edition of Patty’s Players, and I’ll be quite honest, this is getting more and more fun each article I put out. I think eventually this may become a quick video piece, but for now I’ll just pray the text stuff comes through in the tone I’d like.


We’ve already gone through five former players, the fabulous, or FAB 5, if you will. So that would make this week’s selection the sixth.


Through the annals of time, there have been many phenomenal hype men. For example: Jimmy Hart, Puff Daddy, Paul Heyman, Flava Flav, Bill Alfonso and every single person who catches the holy spirit at their services on each lovely Sunday morning.



This week, we saw the return of an up and comer. A hype man who not only can back up those who need it but live up to the hype of what a hype man should be at times: comedic relief.


So without further ado, I give to you, our Patty’s Player of the week: Jameis Winston


Jameis is perhaps one of the most lovable guys on this years Saints roster. The man is about as genuine as they come, and you really must wonder at times if he does some of these things for the comedic impact, or if it’s just genuinely who he is. Regardless, I do not care. Jameis has become must watch TV. Whether he is throwing for 5,000 yards, or eating dubs in a pregame huddle, the guy is quickly becoming one of the most entertaining players for me to watch.


I present to you, exhibit a, and the reason this has become top of mind this week:


I’d like to first and foremost thank the Buccaneers, for not knowing what they had, and giving up someone as fun and relatable as a Jameis Winston. In the meantime, their current QB just took time off to go receive some sort of cosmetic work. Seriously has anyone seen that guy lately? He looks like he just stuck his finger in an electrical socket.


Now I’ll admit, I had my doubts, and this is documented in previous articles I’ve written, but the closer we get to starting this season with him under center, the more excited I am to call him our QB1.


I’d like to thank Jameis for keeping me on my toes, and I just know if he read this, he would be verbally urging me to continue, shouting words of affirmation to back me up and keep me going. For that, I am genuinely appreciative.

 Saints did not show up ready to play. I believe we’ve heard that plenty of times in the Kellen Moore era. But here we are, saying it once again after a game that meant a whole lot to this city and a game the Saints needed to win to avoid a 1-3 start to their season. Unfortunately the organization from the top down played a part in this embarrassing showing. The defense, down a couple starters, played like a unit that did not want to be out on the field at times during the game. Injuries alone are not an excuse for a showing like the one the Saints defense just gave. The defense couldn’t do anything right, they couldn’t stop the run or pass all night as the Falcons just had their way all game long. Brandon Staley has been emphasizing a bend don’t break defense with this unit in his tenure but tonight the defense was completely shattered. On offense it was the same old story. Another slow start forcing the team to play from behind yet again and scoring some points late to make it seem more respectable than the game really was. The Saints cannot figure out the run game and continue to put the whole offense on Shough’s shoulders and to his credit is showing he can be a good quarterback in this league. The offensive line is a big issue and with all the investment put into the line, the production has been inexcusable. Shough took some big hits this game and will continue to do so if the Saints don’t get this operation right soon. We’ll see if the coaches can make it happen because thus far they have not been able to. Ultimately when you lose a game the way the Saints did tonight everyone in the organization from the top down played a part in this one. We’re watching a team that does not have the talent or depth to consistently make enough plays to win. Nor have they shown to have a coaching staff to make up for the roster’s shortcomings. A quarter of the way through the season and the Saints are 1-3 and looking like the expectations placed on them this offseason have been too much too soon. They’ve got time to flip the script as there is plenty of season left to be played but they need to do it fast or otherwise suffer the consequences.

Twenty years ago, the city of New Orleans was forever changed. The "Rebirth" game when the Superdome reopened after Hurricane Katrina was more than a football game already. However, when Steve Gleason blocked the first punt of the game and it was returned for a touchdown, everyone in the building knew it was over.
