FWtex

Where you see the letters SEA please insert HOU.

On Def:
DE's have to strectch the run outside or force the ball into the middle. They can't allow the rb to get around the corner.
Saints will have to stop the screen. look for this when SEA needs ydg.
Saints db's will have to make solo tackles. minimize the YAC and make SEA work for every yard.
MLB and safties will have to attack the middle of the feild and make this THEIR turf.

on O:
Left tackle will have to open up the hole for deuce. Deuce broke many long runs off the left side last year.
TE must be utilized often to make SEA play the whole field.
must have an effective screen play and use the dump off correctly to keep def on their heels
can't have the big penalties that nullify the big plays.
#! have to control the clock with time consuming drives to keep def off the field. If the saints score on quick strikes they will lose in a shoot out.

In addition the saints will have to come out of the gates scoring TD's. If the saints come out and play like crap and/or fail to get the ball in the endzone early the fans will be a huge distraction to them and I don't think the saints will have the mental capacity to overcome a demanding home crowd.
