the key to winning in atl. is scoring more points then the falcons do, its pretty simple actually!!!

Pak, couldn\'t you give a little more insight than that?

I\'m no \"pro\", but in my opinion the obvious key is containing Vick. If we can force him to act like a QB as opposed to a QB/RB we\'ll be in good shape.

lol, actually i think the key in the falcons game is not only containing vick, but also containing dunn, he ran all over us last game, b/c everyone was so worried about vick, we forgot about the other people on their team, everyone must be accounted for, not just vick, he is good but he cant win by himself, he has to have a little help. and we cant turn the ball over, we had 3 Turnovers last game, cant be doing that, not against the falcons who have good clock management.

Simple keys to victory...
Break Vick\'s knee cap and shred all his ligaments in his leg, to keep him from running. Then step on his left hand and break as many little bones as possible so he can\'t throw.

y doesnt one of our guys just pretend like he was the guy from \"the last boy scout\" and run out on the field with a gun and shoot vick, that would be much easier then trying to chase him down and breakin his knee cap, we\'ll just shoot it out

I think the key to beating the falcons is Dale Carter. With him out there on Jefferson or Finneran the saints can leave them single covered and with the extra man can spy on Vick. When he was out there was noone you could leave alone. The safties can now take care of Vick. With Carter there you will see more 8 man fronts because the coverage on the wideouts will be there without the safties. I think Carter will change the way the defense schemes and the way opposing offenses attack the saints. A shutdown cover corner in this league is huge.

Good post Whodat, I think you\'re right. One other thing I think is important is consistancy on both sides of the ball. Open up the offense. Spread out the field and keep them guessing. Dale Carter seems to be just what they thought, he had a good game for his 1st game since 2000.

I dont know how much more punishment Vick can take. I watched him get up slow too many times against Pittsburgh. He has taken a beating and will continue to do so until he learns how to avoid a hit. If Sammy gets a few shots on him this week watch out. I like the tought of Doug Johnson finishing this game. Vick is an injury waiting to happen with the way he plays.
