Of Periscopes and Sitting Ducks: how to torpedo the New Orleans Saints

[teeray]

There was a play against the Cardinals where the Saints secondary got 3 penalties on one play.  Defensive holding, illegal contact, and pass interference.

All on one play lol

Great job on the post and love the WWII history, especially anything dealing with the Pacific Theater as my Granddad fought on Iwo. 30 days to get up the mountain and 2 hours to get back down it.

Wow! This was a very well written article. Enjoyed all of it.

My internal narrative voice thinks your writing style sounds like the Parks and Rec Pawnee NPR radio commentator.  You do great work!

As a former submariner, I approve of this post! My Captain read a passage from Fluckey's book the day I got my Dolphins pinned on. 

Awesome job!

Definitely in the top 5 posts I have seen on here.  I am not nearly the student of the game you are, but as a history buff and former major, bravo on the lead-in.  Great analysis too.  Thanks for posting this.

Great post. I'm totally buying this book http://www.amazon.com/Thunder-Below-Revolutionizes-Submarine-Warfare/dp/0252066707 and reading about this guy. 

it's a legitimately fun read

i'm not sure. as soon as i saw sanford getting abused i checked to see if vacarro was out or missed time, but that doesn't seem to be the case. i guess they just put him in rotationally.

i hope they keep doing it

So much awesome contained in one post. Great stuff. An inspiration really. I need to apply myself better and more often. But then again, the bar is set very high...pissing excellence as always.
