Carolina is Next.
 

Okay we put the media on there heals and the Falcons in there place. We still get no respect. So now it is Carolina that will give us the respect we deserve. Is this the same team 2 weeks ago that all the broad casters said was in shambles? Now they are legit because Steve Smith is back? Will they please make up there minds here!

Okay how did Atlanta beat them? Speed and some poor tackling by the Defense. Well we got the speed covered.
In Minnecota the corrected the tackling bit but Taylor still ripped them for a 113 yards rushing of the 140 they gave up. Williams had 102 yards recieving of the 225, Thats a total of 365 yards they yielded.
In Tampa, against the Bucs the played much better but I have to throw that game out because of a spleen. I know that is not fair. But it was a major contributing factor. The Bucs are in such bad shape right now it hard to belive. They have no OL to speak of and the D is poris. Even with that the Panthers had 101 yards rushing and 272 yards passing, Thanks to Steve Smith putting up 112 yards in his return.
There is the key Smith. Our defense must keep him out of the end zone. The CB better get a good chuck when in one on one coverage. The Safeties will have to react faster than before to deep coverage Up the field and mid range slant patterns. Alot of hard hits in the middle with body slams will be needed. Keyshawn is getting less double coveraget now, so they have a legit double threat on the field.
Jake will use his TE to break things up. But I think the LB are ready for it. They learned a lot from Crumplers play Monday night. Turning point of the game was his drop in the end zone. Look for Jake to use Mangum and Gains more this week.
DL should get 3 to 5 sacks this week. Jake was sacked 3 times last week.
Foster will get under 100. Practicing against Bush will keep Williams in check.
I see a good game here. The diffence will be Drew doing what he does best. Controling the clock and hitting the open reciever.
The OL will have to play better. Carolina as we know has a great DL.
Reggie will get his first touchdown here. the panthers will not over re-act to him. They will see how Drew burned the Falcons when they over committed. So he should get better miss matches this week. I think the NFL has learned there is more to the Saints than Bush.
I am calling for a 30-26 score and a saints win.
Then maybe the we will get the respect we deserve and the devine intervention has to removed from the Falcons win.

Gonna be one tough game. We're gonna have to be both lucky and good to win. The ball's gonna have to bounce the right way, ifyouknowhudimean.

i think we can stop the run and there is no Vick to worry about.
the d line can knock around jake and with an ocasional blitz from a db they will rattle him
take out smith and we win

Here my friends is the key...........

We must control the Carolina defense.....if we can stop Peppers and friends, and give Brees time to make multiple reads, then we will be in the game. If we don't protect Brees, and we don't create running lanes for Deuce and Reggie, then all bets are off.. we must control their D-line....PERIOD.......

Payton is gonna use bush to disrupt the d line like mike vick does.
Bush's speed is gonna keep the ends at home on the contain and open up lanes for duece
i see duece with a Monster game
both backs in the backfield alot this weak

The panthers now know we will run bush all over the field and if they key on him the Saints will take advantage of other mis matches. Drew is to smart not too. If not Bush will finally get his mis-match.

I think there is no reason they shouldn't win this game simply on match-up. But also we weren't looking good as a match-up against the Falcons. We should win, but nothing is guarrented. With that being said, If we do lose I doubt it will be a blow out.

The respect and media buzz cannot be restrained much more. A win in this one and it will come. I think Payton will get as much recognition as the players cuz it is definitely a system that works great so far.
