Saints screen plays may not work as well Monday night

Geaux Saints….. in Section 311 supporting y'all.

Re: Saints screen plays may not work as well Monday night

Most offenses in the NFL do not run the screen pass effectively at all, much less as effective as the Saints do it. if the footing is right and they have their timing down, there's not much Seattle or any other defense can do to stop it. That's not bragging, it's simple physics. I don't care how good their linebackers and safeties are, they're not taking on 300-pound linemen and big tight ends down the field and still making the play. It's just not going to happen.

I do think the screen could be a big part of the game plan early on as a way to slow down their pass rush, then when they start looking for it switch to the run game.
