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.

      Garrett Wilson is doubtful

      Technically speaking, Fields has been a better QB than Bryce Young in the NFL.  I mean it’s bottom rung comparing by BY isn’t better.  Thats what I don’t get about the talk this week.  We don’t have a QB edge

      Might be different against a team with no legitimate pass catching options outside of their rookie TE though.  Their #1 WR tomorrow has 8 catches this season, next best WR receptions number this year is 4. If we can't defend that while Horn travels with their TE, then we have some serious problems.   Maybe we don't end up doing that in the end, but it's probably how I'd be scheming up the defense tomorrow when they have only 1 non RB pass catching option.

      I fought sleep to stay awake just to watch that fumble on the goal line as we were going in for the go ahead score and said fug it, I'm going to bed. I've seen this movie before. I know how this ends. This bullshit of having California teams in conference with east coast teams is trash. That game probably didn't end until 2:30AM. Hell, it was 2AM at the time of the fumble and there was still 3+ minutes to play. In conference games being played into the 2AM hour for local audiences is terrible for the game. And the worst rule in football really does need fixed. Fumbling through the endzone or a fumble recovers by the D in the end zone should not result in a touch back and the ball on the 20. Fumbling through the endzone should not be a turnover. Fumbling out of bounds isn't a turnover anywhere else on the field. That should be the offense's ball on the one yard line. If the D recovers it in the endzone it should be the D's ball on the one yard line. Everyone knows this and everyone talks about it so just fix it already. If Cal was getting the ball at the goal line instead of out to the 20 I would've kept watching. That's a completely different scenario than the ball at the 20.
