Biggest concern against Baltimore?

Their pre-snap defense is a scary thing. They'll have 7 or 8 guys standing around the LOS. Never know who's coming. The pre-snap by Cam and the oline had better be on point. One of the more confusing defenses I've ever watched the Saints play. 

Yeah this can be an issue.  Pittsburgh used to do this.  One way to counter this is with the power run game.  When you have you players standing they typically dont get leverage and power to stop gaps for the run.  But it can be tough to block at times.

I'm pretty sure the offense coming out flat is my biggest concern for every game.  Whether it's the conservative play calling, Cam taking 8 throws to get warmed up, or just horrible offensive line play.  There always seems to be something that holds us back early in games.  Then Cam wakes up and puts the team on his back.  It would be a welcome change for us to come out and look organized and prepared from the start on offense.

thats why we should come out in the no huddle. its the best time to do it

Thats actually a very very good point.  Use that pre-snap crap against them.  Dont let them get comfortable.  I think we should come outta the gate running no-huddle on Sunday.  We dont have to do it all game, just throw them off a little bit, and help Cam get started hot and in rhythm.

Their run defense is STOUT. Kamara led the backs with a 3.8 YPC, and that's only because they pounded the run all game and the 2-3 yard carries started popping for 9-10. 

Think it's important to stay balanced against them. Saints trailed most of the game and still had a 36:30 run:pass ratio. Even when the run game isn't getting fantastic yardage, keep handing it off. That wears on a defense.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
