Splitting with the saints....

Right now, I would be concerned about our ability to even slow down their offense. If we get some of the problems on defense ironed out, we might be able to give them a game at home.

I think we will be able to keep their offense off the field. The Saints have huge issues stopping the run and covering the middle of the field. Should make for some nice long time consuming drives. Our D should stay fairly rested.

I like our chances.

We have Jeff Otah back. That means we're going to run Williams behind Otah. We now have Olsen, so we're going to spread out the Saints and force their LBs to try and cover him. They won't able to do so because they're not good in coverage. Cam is going to scamble and extend a few plays, and take some deep shots down field to Smith and company. We have plenty of ways to attack the Saints weak defense.

The question is whether or not our defense can pressure and sack Brees enough so limit their potent passing attack. If our blitzes work, and CJ can presure him, then we have a shot. If not, it could get ugly.

The Saints just kept pace with the world champions for a 40+ point plus game and you are saying maybe we have a chance, but at what exactly? Scoring some points or winning the game?

Both those defenses looked like poo. The Packers had more stops but in the bigger picture they were suckers for the big play, the Saints didn't need to complete three 5 yard passes, instead they took 20 yards at a time.

You have your homer goggles on and I wouldn't bet money on a win vs. them. Until we can show we can score 40+ points, even on a 'suspect' defense. These teams are offensive powerhouses and all defenses will look 'suspect' vs. them. They key is the ability to score points, lots and lots of points. Rivera's is building the team for it but I doubt it is ready just yet. We may play them twice a year but this will be Rivera's first time facing them with the Panthers, there is little familiarity.

    • lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
    • I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.  
    • As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
