D looked good!

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I didn't think we blitz'd nearly enough. That was a little puzzling considering every time we did, it rattled Farve. I didn't like the package where we had Mitchell lined up 12 yards down the field playing like a safety. ...

I didn't like the package where we had Mitchell lined up 12 yards down the field playing like a safety. Even though on that one instance it worked out for us, that could have been disastrous. He had no safety help over the top, he's not fast, and he shouldn't have to play centerfield... he's a true MLB, not a hybrid linebacker.

Other than that, I thought we played great. We held the Minnesota Vikings to 9 points... 9 frickin' points. We held the great Adrian Peterson under 100 yards... so what if he pulls a bunch of 4 yarders? He doesn't it to everyone. He's a man child that keeps his legs churning at the point of attack. We did a good job containing him.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

I liked our gameplan on D.. It confused him..and remember we blitzed on the only td pass he threw...now our offensive gamplan in the first half left a lot to be desired..
