Kirk Cousins appears to be getting more comfortable back there every week. Atlanta has a good 1-2 punch in the back field with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allegier. We can't allow those two to gash us up the middle like Barkley did to us in the second half of last week. They have two quality receivers and a talented but underachieving TE in Pitts. We can't get Goddert'd again. Our biggest question mark is whether or not McCoy will be healthy enough for the game. Not only does he anchor our line, from how our offense operated without him, he may be the key cog to our offense period.

This should be a fun game to watch. I'm expecting to see a high scoring shootout with the good guys coming out on top.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

Re: Week 4: Saints @ Falcons

Another tough opponent is upcoming.

Atlanta is in a position similar to ours. Their offensive line is torn up. Their center has an ankle issue and the RT has an MCL sprain.

Hopefully, the Saints will have a good week of film study.

Re: Week 4: Saints @ Falcons

Any Given Sunday.

Most interested to see how we respond.

- Can Kubiak scheme his way around the line's deficiencies
- Will his playcalling be more fluid

In the last three games against us, Kirk Cousins has a passer rating of 101.1 with 923 yards, 6 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

However, Saints sacked him NINE times in those three games.

Can the Saints defense do enough to slow him down this Sunday?

Re: Week 4: Saints @ Falcons

Maybe Kubiak changes things up this game.

A bigger body WR perhaps? I mean the Saints did attempt to trade for Tim Patrick a few weeks ago ... A.T. Perry is a guy I hope does more in practice & gets elevated on game day.

Outside of Olave & Shaheed (0 catches vs Philly), we need another chain mover.

Re: Week 4: Saints @ Falcons

I guess the first two weeks, especially the second week, away from home, demolishing Dallas, were a bit of a hopium for me… maybe many of us. The Eagles being held to 15, and still beating us AT HOME, was sobering to say the least. Now we go to Atlanta… Let’s see who we really are.

Re: Week 4: Saints @ Falcons

Pressure Cousins all day from every angle. Double cover Pitts. Don't let Robinson have any big plays. Take your points. On offense, get the ball out quicker. Don't care if it's a five-yard gain. Screens. Plays to the TE's. Take what the defense gives you.
