so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

[OneBadCat]

I think we need to get a big play from Coker or T Mac in the first drive to scare their defense then pound the rock. 

[DaveThePanther2008]

If I remember correctly, we were alternating Rico and Chubba who wasn't ready to come back.  We've performed well against teams that stack the box.  If we get Hunt and Mays back.  We'll be able to run enough that it will open the passing game.

I was so angry at DC for not sticking with Rico.

[toldozer]

Same way we should beat everyone. Run the ball until we have to make big time throws. Then trusting Bryce to make them.  Having Chuba and Rico both healthy down the stretch could be huge

And we get our starting 5 on the oline back.  Hunt is a beast

I think Mays back this week is a big deal itself.

I saw the man come off the field arm just hanging so we didn't waste a time out for medical reasons against the cardinals trying to make that comeback. Much respect to him

Saints are 1-5 in the Dome. They beat the NYG who Tankathon has in the top pick ahead of LV by slightly weaker SOS. 
 

The Saints’ win, cost them that top spot. They would be in the 1.1 right now. They aren’t good. 
 

I think show up and pass block because we are going to have to throw.
Running a pass first plan with Bryce is risky as hell but they will likely stack the box again and force us to punt a lot or take some shots. OL really needs to keep their pass blocking straight.

If the inats use the same game plan, you have to throw at the blitz and run more TE/WR smoke screens at the blitzing side. 

You have to force them to stop sending a CB blitz, make them pay.

Honestly Id like to see Hunter in this game besides Horn, whom has done near nothing in months. Hunter is a killer on those smoke routes and is a master at seeing a weak spot when a team is blitzing CB. 

 

Add this too- Run the read option a few times, those CBs have to make a choice and if they choose wrong, the chance for a big gain is there. 

Id also tell BY to pump fake more this week too. 

Evero should have looks that Tyler has not seen, he needs to confuse and hope Tyler has TOs. 

No BS this nFC south is weak and all, but the iants are one of the better 3-10 teams I can recall. They play hard and look very well coached without big talent. I think around 5 of the losses were the classic one or two plays away from wins.

That’s nice in theory, but Bryce can’t out the ball on tiny Renfrow.  But you are right.   Renfrow would make a lot since if the Saints repeated the game plan for the first matchup over Horn but but probably makes more sense to just run it with Coker. 

whatever it is, and maybe some of it is player personnel given it extends beyond one staff but the the Saints have straight up had Bryce’s number better than anyone 

[Yup]

so usually the team with the most points wins the game?

So long as there aren't too many missed opportunities, yup.

Its too easy to blame BY and we all know this....(even if its 100% true)

 

I don't feel the iants have the blueprint on BY. Panthers just were not ready- CB biltzs are super risky and thought of as to only use like once a game. I know you watched lots of football this year, any other team you recall having their CB/safety blitz nearly every other play?? Its sort of all-in play used for those "surprise" 3rd down calls. Panthers will have solutions this time or repeat the history......I honestly think DC just never practiced plays against that edge pressure, give the saints coaches all the credit. That took BIG BALLS and it worked great given BY folded under that pressure. It even stopped the running game, unblocked missle safety or willing CB tackler, Rico was neutralized too. This time Chubba is healthy and OL should be better too. Tremble and Evans have bigger responsibilities this week too....

 

I forgot to add, that dang stadium can not get rockin.....I hope they have hand signals on point too.

Offense:

1) throw the ball on 1st down early in the game

2) throw the ball deep every now and then

3) use the pass to make NO not have 9 in the box, then run the ball

Defense:

1) stop the run

2) take away the seams and dump offs to the flats 

3) force a couple of turnovers 

 

[SOJA]

Saints defense has Bryce's number. I don't think he's ever really looked good agains them. I'm actually more worried about the Saints than the Bucs right now weirdly

[Aussie Tank]

Run the ball and play action off that. We're going against a rookie QB so throw some different looks at him not just vanilla coverage
