McCarthy's Game Plan.

BillyCarpenter1 · 10-19-2003, 08:58 PM

I'm really pissed at McCarthy. Everyone has been calling for McCarthy to open this offense up. Well, it takes game #6 and he comes out in 3 and 4 receiver sets at the beginning of the game and BAM we score on our first drive and almost every drive in the first half.

I give credit to McCarthy for a great game plan today but what the hell took so long. This is the samething we need to do against Carolina. Once we were successful in the throwing game, the Falcons defense couldn't keep the 8th man in the box and it really cleared the way for Deuce.

Keep it going Mike!!

I don\'t care if we were playing blind men out there. The offense looked great. I don\'t expect you to give any credit 08. None at all....

That\'s alright Billy , you can pump Brooks all you want for shredding the worst defense in the N.F.L.

I will wait til he shreds a top 5 defense before I say he did a great job .

It only took the worst defense in the league to get him to play to his potential .

08 --

While I do believe very strongly that you are a hypocrite, your arguement does hold some truth. I would also like to see Brooks shred a top 5 defense. But when Peyton Manning shreded our terrible secondary, you were quick to point out the fine game he had. It is these kind of things that make your posts, while comical, lacking of any real substance.

I like conversing with some of you \"Brooks Bashers\", but not because I think you will ever change your minds about Brooks, but just to see how far you guys will go with your attempts to bash the guy.

I might be alone in my belief that you discredit yourself with posts like the one\'s you just made, but I always like to think for myself and not let other folks tell me what to think. Of course, you have your \"Brooks Bashing\" buddies that will agree with you on every comment that you make about Brooks. So, I guess that makes it true>>> Expcept with me, because I can think for myself and I\'m sure others see through you just as I do.

You are.

Aside from the usual BS that is argued around here, today\'s game was the first I\'ve enjoyed watching this year. The score could have been close and it wouldn\'t have mattered, they kept the fingernails off the chalkboard by not turning over the ball and creating costly penalties. Let\'s build some momentum heading into next weeks pivotal game against Carolina.

Are you speaking for yourself or all of mankind??? :P

Both. Being omnipresent justifies this

Oh, Ok, but only you can do that. I will take exception if anyone else tries to pull that sh!t

I agree BnB. Mistake free football... almost. The D still worries me. I mean, they allow a 70 yard TD run on the second play from scrimmage. Not good - especially if you\'re not playing the Birds. Then, I don\'t know if anyone else noticed, but BOTH of Atlanta\'s other scoring drives were kept alive by D linemen jumping offsides on third and short. Stupid!

Our defense continues to worry the hell out of me. Our secondary can\'t make plays (see more dropped INTs than our receivers have dropped passes), our linebackers seem average, and the D line seems to play one great play followed by one terrible one. Stephen Davis could have another field day against us next week.

However, the O finally looked great. Brooks was crisp, on target, made good reads, had great escapability, and did everything that could be asked of him. Deuce continues to just make my jaw drop. Anyone catch that play where an Atlanta blitzer was in the backfield before he took the handoff? He side stepped the guy and turn what would have been a big loss for 90 percent of the backs in the league into a 12 yard gain. The guy is unreal. Strong, fast, shifty, smart, great hands, and most importantly (to me at least), professional. If he stays with the Saints he may end up being the best player in Saints history. The guy just gets the job done - lots of time by himself.

Finally, to get back on to the topic of this thread, I was simply happy to see McCarthy finally get it. Let\'s hope this wasn\'t a one game thing, and that it continues next week. My only comment - let\'s trying running out of three and four receiver formations when the field is spread rather than only those times when we have a TE and FB in the game. Otherwise, say what you will, but you\'re not a Saints fan if a 45-17 drumming of the Falcons isn\'t enough to make you happy - no matter how bad the birds or Saints may be.
