Just thought I post this as a separate thread

 

Good break down

 

And yes they ran zone too, although a different zone and diff personnel

Yeah Seattle DBs =/= Carolina DBs

[Delhommey]

They have Earl Thomas and Richard Shurman. We have Mike Mitchell and Melvin White.

Anything you say past that is irrelevant.

Seattle's DBs are vicious and they go after the ball like it's thrown to them.

[teeray]

Brees may have had to hold the ball longer than normal against Seattle, but he held the ball as long as he wanted to in the second quarter against us.

They still got pressure, we did not. It was also cold, rainy, windy, and loud in Seattle. It was nice and comfy in the dome.

[teeray]

Let me put it this way. As good as Seattle's DBs are, you put them in the dome and take away their pass rush and Brees would have 4 TDs against their DBs too.

We should have know NO was going to adjust to what the Hawks did. You saw muliple formations designed to get there WR clean ageist us. Our Gameplan was pretty weak if you ask me.

Its the blitz packages they sent not so much what the CBs did. Needless to say we came in thinking we could beat Brees in the dome with a 4 rush and not even Thomas nor Shurman could cover as long as we let Brees have.

From the article, Seattle was getting pressure with 3 or 4...and dropping dline into coverage. Brees was not comfortable.

 

I'm trying to watch the Panthers All-22 now...and I'm taking a break now after seeing LaFells horrible blocking. Schula playcall had the numbers to pickup decent yardage but LaFell's blocking killed it twice.

Seattle's secondary is way better than ours, however you have to attribute some of their success against Brees to them playing in their building.  The fact that that place is so loud, it prevented an offense that is predicated on timing from executing.

 

This is the sole reason why Brees and company are not as good out of their building.  It is the fact that their offense and Brees rely so heavily on their timing.  Brees has put together a hall of fame resume, however he hasn't figured out a way to translate that on the road.

 

New Orleans would beat Seattle in the Dome.  It would be a close game, but I think they would come out on top.

We could have used better performances from our DE's for sure, but I doubt that Thomas would be hanging around the back line of endzone for every TD like our FS was.

What gameplan?  

[General_Purr]

Their DBs are wayyyyy bigger, faster, more physical than our guys by far. Compare Captain to Browning just physically.. 

 

Our LB and DL are better by far.

Can't compare them to be honest, especially since one is suspended for the rest of the year.
