Saints need to jump out quick, need to take away that stupid wildcat stuff early, and not give Brown and Williams a chance to get cranked.

If we jump out "quick", say by two td's in the first quarter, then there's plenty of game left and the phins will still run the WC. I just hope we can slow it down when it's run...

I hope we open with a 15 play drive that ends in a TD. I'm thinking we see a very similar offensive game plan to what was run vs NYG. Look for blitzing CB's to stop the WC and safety pressure on passing downs to pressure Henne into throwing a pick.
