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.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
