Saints coach Sean Payton is probably the most multiple offensive coach in the NFL, in terms of personnel and formations. They’re difficult to defend. They could start with 15 personnel packages and 15 formations on the first 15 plays of a game.

With their large number of personnel and formation variations the question is, how will you match up? They can put a lot of pressure on a defense that way. There was a great example on a 44-yard touchdown to Jimmy Graham last week against Atlanta.

The Saints lined up with both wide receivers to the right side of the field, and Graham as the traditional line of scrimmage tight end on the left. The Falcons chose to defend this look by flopping their corners to the same side of the field, to defend the two receivers. That means you have a safety or a linebacker to cover Graham, and you have to live with that.

Falcons safety Will Moore drew the matchup, as a "cover three" cornerback in this coverage. Theoretically, if Graham runs an in-breaking route, Moore will have help from the other safety. If he runs an out route, he has no help.

Graham ran an out-and-up route and easily beat Moore, who has no corner skills and was clearly uncomfortable.
