oh and what i have to say with next weeks critical match up? well ill have to say that our saints have a big challenge ahead of them. Drew will have to throw a touchdown and the o-line will need to keep umenyoura and tuck away from him. hopefuly bell will be back and him and pierre could use the run game to bleed time on the clock. bush can open up plays for colston and the other receivers. will smith and grant should be able to give eli pressure so that the db's can cause turnovers. we also need to watch out for Jacobs and bradshaw because aside from eli's arm.. they have the legs to kill our defense if we are not ready..

The interested question is whether or not the inpenetratable wall of Nicks, Goodwin, and Evans can keep Brees in a clean interior pocket to step up into. Brees moves well enough and releases fast enough that the rush ends are often not the problem. However rushes up the middle usually disrupts what he's trying to get done.

hopefuly bell will be back and him and pierre could use the run game to bleed time on the clock. bush can open up plays for colston and the other receivers.
As I said in my other post, Payton/Brees will simply run whoever is out there. I think sharing the load is smart. It was pretty easy to see that Bell was out of gas at the end of the Lions game.

Also there's simply a lot more rushing load. Do you know that at this point the Saints are attempt 8 more rushing attempts per game than they were last season? Danno pointed out that the Saints were in the top 10 in rushing the last half of last season. You can see it now.

But there's more to it. Like most NFL teams, the Saints will run the ball when ahead. And as we all well know:

THE SAINTS HAVE NOT TRAILED THIS ENTIRE SEASON!
So let's get to the more important side of the ball...
will smith and grant should be able to give eli pressure so that the db's can cause turnovers. we also need to watch out for Jacobs and bradshaw because aside from eli's arm.. they have the legs to kill our defense if we are not ready..
The rush defense has been stout and frankly Jacobs so far has been ordinary. Bradshaw the gasher is who we really need to watchout for.

Finally it's clear that Eli's new young crew of receivers are a force. We definitely need to keep them in front of out secondary.

Good analysis. Look forward to hearing more from you.
