Saints giving up 8.2 ypc avg facing Wild Cat plays

Big Dave · 10-23-2009, 08:37 PM

I think the Dolphins will move the ball well. Will we get into the end zone? For most of the season we have not done well in the Red zone. We're improving each week. I'd hate to trade field goals for touchdowns with the Saints.

But here is the reeealllly interesting thing that jumped out at me. The Saints have faced a Wildcat type of run play six times this year. They have yielded 49 yards on those plays. That's an 8.2-yard per play average yield against Wildcat plays

We will see how much ya'll run the wildcat when you are playing from behind.

foreverfan · 10-23-2009, 09:36 PM

Are you going to run that 100% of the time?

What are you going to do when you're behind by 20?

Danno · 10-23-2009, 09:45 PM

I like these stats better

Saints are 5-0
Saints average victory margin = 3 TD's

I guess we're beaten then. Want me to congratulate you now, or after the game?

Pretty small sample size to be drawing conclusion from.

That would be like me saying, everytime we've faced a no.1 defense, we scored 48pts and ran up 500 yds on them.

That is correct.
The Saints saw the wildcat for the first time in Philly. The Saints did not have any tape of the Eagles running out of that formation and caught them by surprise. It was VERY effective.

And if I am not mistaken, the game ended 48-22 .
