Bootlegs draws & screens - BUT not to Reggie. They will be sitting on that & waiting to knock his d-ck in the dirt (remember that hit he tookl in the 06 playoff ahgainst Philly!!)

All we have to do is give Bushrod a can of Skoal and a copy of Field and Stream and Jared Allen will be no problem for Drew..lol

I tend to think the Vikings will not blitz much. They do have a front four capable of applying pressure without it, even with Edwards a bit gimpy. Their lbers will likely isolate on the intermediate zones and attack the flats. I fully believe their keys will be trying to prevent the deep pass and trust they are stout enough to keep our run game in check. I think we need to push the run hard early and open up our passing game. Until they respect our run we will find fewer openings down field.

I trust in our protection packages and Drew's ability to unload at the right time when passing. Offensively I think we will be fine. I am more worried about us defensively.

Don't believe a word the Vikings players say. I wonder what voodoo Greg Williams will be dialing up?

If you watched the Dallas/Minn game then you know that it wasn't the blitz that got Romo it was the Vik's Dline that collasped the pocket in on Romo and made him tuck the ball and move. Brees has a much quicker release than Romo, plus Sean will have a list of plays ready for any scheme the Vik's defense dials up.
I'm not worried about the Saints offense. The Saints defense must contain the run (AP) and make Favre throw on 3rd and long situations, and he's gonna make some, but some he won't, hopefully resulting in INT's. Once Favre gets on an INT roll he'll keep throwing into double coverage hoping for a homerun. Yes Favre is good, but he's also been damn lucky this season with his despiration throws. This sunday his luck runs out and Darren Sharper becomes his #1 receiver.
