A " sleep robber" is a term I like to use when describing certain players or teams.These are the people that disrupt your sleep cycle.You know you have to prepare a game plan against them and in doing so you find yourself pacing the room knowing it isn't going to be easy.

MICHAEL DeMOCKER/THE TIMES-PICAYUNESaints kicker Garrett Hartley had a rough night Thursday against the Vikings.
In the NBA Kobe Bryant of the Lakers is an example of a "sleep robber" Having to defend him over the course of an entire game will give you a mental hernia. He is a punishing player with amazing talent.

The Saints in their win over the Vikings will rob their future opponents of the joy of a full night's rest. Why? In the first half the Saints offense used a seemingly endless combination of routes and empty sets.When the second half got going you saw more of a basic attack using two backs and a pace-control offense.
The Saints were as they say in sports, multi-dimensional. Defensive cordinators of opposing teams will have a lot of game tape to study, won't they?
If you take a look at the Saints defense you will see Cover 2 schemes in the first half and a more " crank up the heat" play in the second half as they unveiled some Zone Press looks. Once again more stuff for the other guys to worry about.
