NFC South Strategic Tendencies: New Orleans Saints

WhoDat!656 · 08-07-2012, 03:45 AM

The New Orleans Saints are coming off a very successful 2011 season, having finished 13-3 and in first place of the NFC South. During last season, the Saints finished 5-1 in the division, with the lone loss coming to the Buccaneers in Week 6 at Raymond James Stadium.

After a tumultuous offseason, the Saints will be without HC Sean Payton, their offensive play caller, as well as MLB Jonathan Vilma for the entire 2012 campaign. In addition, the Saints will also be ushering in new Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, while OC Pete Carmichael will take over play calling. So while the Defensive Tendencies may change, the Saints Offense will likely retain much of the qualities it did last season.

Exactly! Blitz Brees so PT and Sproles can burn you on the screen... PLEASE!

We do not have to beat the bear.... just outrun the slowest guy.

The first and most important strategy is securing the #1 seed heading into the playoffs.

It was a very good article that was mostly spot on. I wish our local guys (Jeff Duncan) could write something that informative.

When it's all said and done, the Saints have an extremely potent Offense and a less than desirable Defense.

I really do hope everyone(media outlets/teams) feels this way.

Boy will they be in for a surprise.
