'Triple' teams: Saints, Patriots have third big threat to scramble defenses

Think about it. If the other team is playing zone defense, we flood that zone with with Colson, Graham and Sproles all on one side of the field as described above. If it's man to man defense and if the other team does a good job of covering those 3 or rolling defenders to that side of the field, then we still likely have Lance Moore single-teamed running an out or the slant on the other side of the field for some reliable yardage. Oh, and also as a last resort, Devery Henderson is running a seam or a go pattern to keep the safeties deep and away from Moore.

Other teams just have to pick their poison ... or usually let Drew pick it for them
