Kellen Moore has been getting some positive press as Cowboys OC. He's been mentioned as a possible hot head coaching candidate in the press, and his name has even come up on this board as an option if we were to be looking next year.

But the Saints defense figured out a way to get some clues on how to beat his offense by employing an unusual tactic.

They studied Moore's college playing tape.

Saints got clues to Cowboys offense from Kellen Moore's Boise State tape

Gotta give em credit. Outside the box thinking, and it worked. That's the kind of thing I'd like to see us do.

It might not be as esoteric as going back to watch the offensive coordinator's college game film, but our coaches did a damn good job identifying and scheming an offensive gameplan that took advantage of the Jags LBers propensity to over pursue run plays by using misdirection and jet sweep motion by the WRs (and actually run it a couple times to make the defense respect it) and then having the Oline down block which allowed massive cutback lanes that led to TD runs of 84 and 59 yards along with 285 total rushing yards.

Obviously, having that level of success is to a certain extent predicated on the otherworldly year CMC is having, but the coaches still deserve credit.

The Saints coaches have obviously been good this year, but I can't find too much to complain about from a game planning standpoint for the most part so far this year from our side.

The only caveat so far was that the offensive coaches didnt seem to have a good answer to the Bucs defensive gameplan to throttle CMC.

I will be disappointed if we don't have a better plan on Sunday.

We just had a game where we shut down one of those explosive QBs in the entire NFL, limiting him to 172 total yards of offense.  Sandwiched between his games of 473 and 369 with 79% cmp%.

Our defense is playing better than the Saints in almost every stat I looked at.  Yards/g.  Points/g.  Turnovers.

I feel confident that they are looking at what they need to look at to win games.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
