Moving on to New Orleans

Week 16 is in the books and its not one of our better weeks but we need to move on.

We play the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and if we win, we lock up the 2nd seed in the NFC which means a 1st round bye and a home game for the divisional round.

Our defensive backs will be tested against Drew Brees because everyone and their grandmothers know that the Saints love to pass. The Saints rank 1st in points per game, 1st in pass yards, and 1st in total offensive yards. To build momentum leading into the playoffs, we need a confidence booster and that will be to shut down Drew Brees. Pierre Thomas has been coming along nicely for the Saints but he isn't Derrick Ward and Brandon Jacobs so our defensive game plan doesn't have to be focused on stopping the run. Our rushing attack needs to just show up and offensively we should have a nice day at the office. However, defensively, we have playing like complete poo as of late giving up 27½ points per game for the last 6 weeks. That stat is pathetic. On the contrary, the Saints have been scoring just under 33 points a game and a 4-2 record in the last 6 games. Their offense is hot and we need to prove to ourselves that we can stop a high powered offense to have any chance in the playoffs. If Brees even does remotely good, I'm going to punch Ken Lucas in his nose and make his eyes water a little bit.

Let's lock up the NFC South with our defense.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.

      Panthers Preseason

      Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
