In his return, he was showed his fatal flaw is still present. Young struggles to finish at the quarterback<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-text-2\">\n<p>The New Orleans Saints came up short in another tightly contested match, falling 25-19 at home to the New England Patriots in week 6. Despite a strong effort, the Saints defense couldn\u2019t come up with a stop when it mattered most.<\/p>\n<p>With the game on the line late in the 4th quarter, the Saints pass rusher failed to apply pressure on Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who made them pay, by delivering a 21 yard strike to wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, that eventually sealed the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\"><strong>Chase Young\u2019s quiet return disappoints but shouldn\u2019t cause panic<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">Young\u2019s return to the field was a bit underwhelming, as the former number 2 overall pick recorded just one tackle and failed to record a sack or quarterback hit in his debut. However, he did manage to post a 20% pass rush win rate on 15 pass rush snaps, which is a respectable percentage coming off of a five game absence. Still, this didn\u2019t meet the expected production from their $51 million investment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Last season, Young did a solid job of generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks, but he often struggled to finish plays, finishing the season with only 5.5 sacks. In his return against New England it felt like more of the same. Drake Maye operated in the pocket with comfort for most of the game, as Young and the rest of the Saints pass rush were a step too slow on numerous passing attempts.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">While Young did not have his best day, it is important that this was his first action back from injury in a brand new defensive scheme. It will take some time for him to get comfortable and fully acclimated. Judging his performance based on a single game is premature, Saints fans should wait for a larger sample size before hitting the panic button.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chase Young finally made his season debut on Sunday, but it&#8217;s clear he needs to get acclimated in the Saints&#8217; new defensive scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":107728,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\u269c\ufe0f BREAKING REACTION: It took just one game for Saints fans to regret that $51 million deal \u2014 frustration boils over as questions surround the team\u2019s big-money move!
