A GIANT Championship BLUEPrint for the Saints to follow.
 

Defense wins championships.

Let me repeat...

Defense wins championships.

Earlier in the week Tom Brady scoffed at the Burris notion that they'd only score 17 points. They only scored 14.

Defense wins championships.

The Giants secondary is considered ordinary on a good day. So how did they do it?

Simple.

Stop the run. Pressure the QB.

And that's what the Saints need to do. When the QB only has 1.5 seconds to get rid of the ball or be sacked, All balls coming out are going to be short. Then all the defensive backfield has to do is get the receiver down.

We need to continue to work on our front seven. I think there's a nucleus there with Grant (hope dude is OK), Smith, Thomas, and Fujita. But we need to shore them up with a couple of athletic rangy LBs that can rush the passer and a dominant DT that can collapse the pocket. Then follow it up with a pressure scheme that makes QBs uncomfortable.

Look at the defenses that gave the Patriots trouble during the year: Baltimore, Philly, the Giants. All had the same gameplan.

Defense wins championships.

I hope the Saints take this GIANT BLUEprint to heart.

yep. after the ravens game the patriot faithful, well the smart ones at least, knew the OL was in trouble. Big, fast and quick DL can beat them. The OL is built much the same way the Saints are. But were completely out played by the front 4 in NY.
Remember it took 4 years to make the DL what it is in NY

Great points.....

Dear Saints front office,

We want a PASS RUSH like the one we saw last night.

Re: A GIANT Championship BLUEPrint for the Saints to follow.
 

Makes me want Quentin Groves even more after watching that game. We can win with an average/solid secondary with that kind of pass rush... as the Giants just did. Though one injured, they have 4 legit guys who can put up 10 sacks every year... Strahan, Osi, Mathias, and Tuck. We should definitely should improve our front 7 first with the 10th pick.

Re: A GIANT Championship BLUEPrint for the Saints to follow.
 

I want the rush too. But you also have to see the LB and S play from last night was solid to say the least. CB play was also good. It was a total team effort. The rest of the NYG defense is not Average. We need more than a pass rush. They way the secondary plays we are required to play it safe. WE HAVE NO CHOICE. A couple of picks and FA should do us well. come on already lets get the off season signing started.

1.- Stop with this "blueprint" stuff. You ain't building a bridge.

2.- If I'm not mistaken, the Patriots were up 14-10 with 2:42 in the game. It was the Giants offense who won that game with 3 outstanding plays within those 2:42 converting a 4th and inches; on a 3rd and 5 Eli scrambling and escaping the grasp of multiple defenders and the incredible catch by Tyree with that cheapshot all over his back; and on a 3rd and 11 Smith catching a ball and diving to the marker and out of bounds.

The reality is that any team needs balance; a team as to have good play on all three aspects of the team: offense, defense, and special teams to win a championship.

Now thats the reality of it all. Yeah we have Ed Ogeron can we give the guy a break till the presason a the very least.

Re: A GIANT Championship BLUEPrint for the Saints to follow.
 

Without the pass rush throughout the game (1st -4th) Brady would have done what he did to everyone else. It was the pressure. He hates it, every QB hates it. We don't have the players the NYG have on defense or the schemes to use.

Re: A GIANT Championship BLUEPrint for the Saints to follow.
 

Great point T-R.
One part of the Giants DID NOT beat the Pats. It was a total team effort. NO, Our secondary could not have done what NY's did late in the weening seconds of the game. Moss WOULD HAVE caught the ball and Gostokowiski would have tied the game (If Moss didn't run it in first), and the Pats would have won.

The Giants have been the "Total Package" for the last 5 games. They were ignored by all the wrong people and played almost "PERFECT" football. I'm happy for them, their fans, and the Mannings.
