I've been thinking about Williams comments from the other day. That idiot Florio, who I'm sure has never played a down of football, made him out to be a cross between Hitler and Stalin.

But more importantly I was thinking, does coming after Manning with all of those blitzes really make sense? This is a different situation than the last two weeks. Manning will tear the Saints 'D' if they just do the same thing they've been doing. Also, if that was your game plan, do you need to announce it on the radio?

I don't think so. It's more likely that he'll do something completely different. Against the Pats I remember a lot of three man lines with max coverage. No need to fear the run game this week. I think we'll be in store for a very different plan this week then the Cards or Vikes.

If Payton/Williams have shown one thing this year it's that when they have two weeks to get ready for someone, the other team is not prepared for what they come up with and I think SB44 will be no exception.

Hey Rickh Good post I was sitting thinking the same thing myself. Make Manning expect something and the give him something completely different.

What Williams brings to the table is the ability to adjust quickly during the game. In the past our D Coach would lay out the game plan and just stick to it with limited adjustments.

You know Manning watched Favre get rocked in the NFCCG and I think Williams is trying to sew some thoughts about getting hit all day in Manning's head.

You guys need to stop. Ther is nothing the Saints can "do", "bring" or "scheme" that Peyton hasn't seen or played against. Peyton is something like 4-1 or 5-1 against Greg Williams Defenses over his career. He has just made the top AFC defenses look silly and you really believe the Saints can do something neither of those two could do? Yes, the Saints will probably get a sack or two on Manning early on, but you can not frustrate him, or baffle him or "shake him up", as right now there is no greater offensive mind in the game then Peyton. Your hope is to disrupt the WR pass running routes, and your offense putting up a tone of points if winning the game is your hope.

I'd argue there is a better offensive mine than Payton and that is Peyton.

As of right now, there is no greater offensive minds in teh game then Manning and Moore, the M and M boys are undefeated this season and Manning is the MVP. The Saints had a good year, but they are a step behind the M and M boys.

I think you still try to get to Manning. Maybe not all out Blitz. But you have to unleash the Hounds every once in a while. I also think you can't play afraid of what manning is going to do...he needs to fear what we are going to do.

I totally agree. I don't think GW or SP makes mistakes like announcing the gameplan prior to the game being played. What GW said is more than likely just a lil pyschological warfare being used against #18 and that O line. No need to worry

Even if he was announcing his game plan - His comments were taken out of context by the media morons AND by the fan morons who obviously can not read what is in front of them.

Americans often suffer from a form of brain fart in which they read - hear - see only what they want to (or what they are told to) This is yet another case of the dumbing down of America.

The media wants to create another image for the Saints besides the lovable underdogs so GW is being made out as an orgre.
