Selling out to stop the run, instead of the pass

Teams started started stacking the box over the past 6 games and held them to under 100 yds rushing each time. In that span they went 3-3. 

Not a crazy strategy...gotta pick your poison against them. 

This. Teams have had success against the Saints selling out to stop the run. We just don't have the secondary to effectively do it. It allows Brees to carve us up.

Brees made some unbelievable throws in this game. Simple as that. The secondary didn't play awful, and we sold out to stop the run and did a good job.

Difference was lack of offensive execution in the red zone in the 1st half. Cam played his ass off, and we had a shot at the end.

The interception that wasn't and the bs intentional grounding certainly sucked too.

I'm disappointed but the team gave it their all. The Saints are just overall a better team than we were this year.

It has been a fun season. We weren't going to win a SB with our receivers, but Cam proved himself again to be one of the best QBs in the game.

Hope we can get back to the playoffs next year

 

More impressive than the thtoes from Brees were the catches from his receivers. Our guys were dropping perfectly thrown TD passes while the Saints were making circus catches. Those fugers caught EVERYTHING.

The thing is our front is our biggest strength we shouldn’t need to go all out to stop them from running 

 

meanwhile our secondary is horrendous and needs all the help possible

Is it any more fitting that our season ended on Cam getting sacked on 4th and 23 when we were initially in scoring position for the win? I mean honestly? If one scenario could capture the season better I would love to hear it. 

IF you go back into the thread about the Bills and the Jags i literally said that the Panthers and Panther related teams are the only people in the NFL who could do some poo like that.

Only the Panthers or people formerly affiliated with could go from 1st and 1 to 3rd and long from almost out of the redzone.

This is a very newbish thing to ask but why exactly is it not letting me create a thread? It isn't highlighted to let me click on it. I've been on the huddle almost every day since 2010 and would like to start making threads, so if anyone could help me out it would be appreciated, thanks.

I just joined and I would also love to know how.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
