Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; The cake walk starts at our missed tackles, our missed blocking assignments, and our own self-inflicted idiocy (stupid penalties and turn-overs). These happen, the Browns win the cake walk. The Browns D is no joke, and the Browns special teams ...

The cake walk starts at our missed tackles, our missed blocking assignments, and our own self-inflicted idiocy (stupid penalties and turn-overs). These happen, the Browns win the cake walk.

The Browns D is no joke, and the Browns special teams is superior to ours. If our defense doesn't win out over the Browns D, that gives the Browns 2 out of 3 phases of the game in their favor. Just take a quick peek at the depth chart for the Browns...a lot of talent on the D-Line, Linebacker, CB, and Safety.

The sky ain't fallin', but we'd better start ballin'...that's mine, so steal it and deal it. I'm awesome...

Re: Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints

When did NOLA.com hire the lisping Cindy Brady to do their video commentary?

Seriously, this game may tell us a lot about how the season will progress. If our defense is a no-show second week in a row then everyone will need to revise their win/loss potential.

I hate to say this so early in the season but this is a must win because it is on the road and because 0 - 2 is much worse than 1 - 1.

We haven't had a cake walk since the Colts a couple years back.

You had to bring that up? Now, anything short of a 60-burger and I'm gonna be disappointed.

Re: Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints

Watched the Cleveland vs Pitt game last night and here are a few takeaways

1 - The defense is fast and ferocious, however they over-pursue and are undisciplined along the front 7. This allows teams to be successful in misdirection and screen plays.

2 - Hoyer is indecisive and if his 1st read is not there he will tend to hold on to the ball and take a sack. He does not force a ball into tight coverage which leads to him holding the ball longer than he should, which means more sacks.

3 - Terrance West is big, fast, and elusive. I was impressed with his vision and the way he broke through tackles against Pitt.

So, how do we have success against this team? Press man coverage with multiple blitz packages, do not play soft zone. Drew needs to be Drew. Utilize the pump fake and get Pierre involved in the screen game. If the offense can get going early, and not let up on scoring points, then the defense is allowed to pin its ears back and play Rob Ryan football. If we can't stop West, it is going to be a long day. This is a game where I'd like to see us receive the ball first and make a statement, as opposed to waiting until the 2nd half.

Re: Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints

The only thing that worries me is that our boys are as over-confident as us fans are. We've seen the result of that every year as we always seem to overlook and inferior opponent and get our teeth kicked in.

If we play our A-game, we win by 2 scores.

B-game... Saints in a squeaker.

C-game, we lose.

Seriously? After the defensive performance last week, how can any fan or player be over-confident?

They shouldn't be, but you never know. I'm seeing numerous posts about how we're gonna destroy them.
