The threat of the Saints run game


I'm the Mike

Recommended Posts

The fight for the NFC South is still well under way, but Brett Kollmann gives a good analysis of why the saints offense is thriving and what Luke Kuechly and Steve Wilkes must be thinking about when we will have to shut it down in week 13.

In some ways our offenses are similar in that we have  good interior linemen at the guards, a tailback in Stewart, an elusive halfback with CMC, some speed at WR, a young talented WR1 with height, and a MVP caliber QB.

Defensively I think we outmatch them, but they have talented corners and seem to be better up front.

To me the Saints and the Vikings will be our last real TEST for this team and will give us a good indication of how we will play in the playoffs. If we continue to build momentum we will have a lot to be excited about in December.

    • You must have been excited on draft night lol I felt similar about walker but i felt like I saw a huge outrage when Walker wasn't the pick 
    • Eh, I'm still quite skeptical about Bryce as a franchise guy but YAC is a product of the scheme and pass catchers as much, if not more, than the QB. Perhaps there some nerd stat out there that has teased that apart but even then, it's not like baseball where it's just pitcher vs hitter in static situations.
    • we are thin in a few areas. I still think they think we are set at edge.  We still have DJ and Barno and one could go to the PS.  Edge is one of those positions, for some reason, where if you do not draft the right guy or break the bank, you gotta go with what you have.  Personally, I think our 2 draft picks will be fine.  SEC kids. Jones and Wonnum are adequate vets who are not so good they will steal playing time from the toddlers.  Three rookies (including Mwansa, who could play special teams while developing as an edge) behind 2 vets is huge, but don't forget, we had a veteran group of DTs, DEs, and LBs.  On the back end of the defense, all veterans (starting) except maybe Ransom.
