RUN IT...GRIND IT...POUND IT...SOFTEN THEIR LINE!

I couldn't agree more. Dont totaly abandon the run game when your team was ranked at the top of the pile last year. I would run twice and pass once, then when the defense bites on the pass on 3rd and long run the ball. I'm sure all of us have played Madden before...lol

Re: Saints can't afford another slow start

I think the D you currently have will have a hard time stopping Rodgers. A full deck D with all coaches and players would be a different story. I can't believe it's 1 - 2 vs. 0 - 3. Nobody would have bet that looking at it on the schedule.
