Take the reigns off Cam for this game.....our true weapon

I know Cam has been giving much more freedom to take off and scramble, but perhaps even more so for this game. With the loud ass dome it will be difficult to hear and I'm sure Ryan will be trying to disguise his defenses and force bad decisions. Truth be known,Cam and Tolbert are now the two most effective runners we have at this point....Deangelo has been on and off and Stewart just isn't back yet...let alone the fact that our Oline cannot open any holes on a consistent basis. So let's run our screens, options, and dump-offs to loosen up that Line,and use Tolbert to slam them and Cam to take all the yards that they will give him. Cam seems to be much better passing when he uses his running ability to set up the pass. We need a dominant running game no matter who does the running....just beat them down then bury them. We cannot get in a shoot out with Brees, that's not a game plan we can win. But do what the Jets did to them.....run over them until they will fold.

Definitely let Cam be Cam, but he should not have to shoulder the entire offense this game.

 

Well, that's pretty much where we're at.  Teams are just about completely shutting down our running game lately.  The only real running game we have is Cam's scrambling.  If the trend continues, he'll probably be our leading rusher again this year.  He's only about 160 yards behind DeAngelo right now.  Week 6 was the last time DeAngelo ran for over 50 yards in a game, meanwhile Cam has ran for over 50 yards a game in each of the last 3 games.

Cam needs to manage the game as any QB would but should take advantage of any space on the field or hole that opens up to gain 5 to 10 yards where he can slide without contact...........that will keep the chains moving the time moving and drive their defense nuts..........

 

We don't need him to perform miracle runs.......just keep the offense on the field......

Our receivers need to help him out

 

Ginn I am looking at you, catch the deep balls because everything they are thrown in your direction, they hit your hands yet they bounce on the ground

 

Smith and Lafell get open Cam will find you

 

Olsen, you are the rock, keep doing what your doing

We're winning, let's just keep rolling with what is working.

 

Like normal, I expect Cam to let the defense control the game and have the offense play very conservative, protecting the football and avoiding costly mistakes, only gambling on big plays when the opportunity arises. 

 

The trick here is keeping New Orleans off the field. IMO.

 

I don't mind running Cam if it is to pick up 3rd or 4th downs... I'm all for that. Just letting him loose and getting away from what has resulted in eight straight victories, doesn't seem all that wise.

It's time to get vertical like 2011. Open up a can of whoop ass. The only thing the Saints can hope to do is to tire our defense. But if we can score a couple of quick touchdowns we can then revert back to our eat the clock methodical offense. I don't mean conservative I mean ball control + Riverboat Ron. I expect our defense to be very stout for at least the first half of this game, and if our offense can control the game then they will be stout for 4 qtrs.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
