Who made that statement anyway? You know me well enough to know that I may be able to be baited at times, but I\'m not quite dumb enough to rush in and defend the guy who said that the Saints can\'t defend a screen pass b/c AB can\'t throw one. True, the Saints are pretty terrible using the screen and defending it. I\'m not sure why, but if I really had to guess, I think I\'d say something like this: The ability to defend a screen well has to do with LBs and DTs being able to diagnos the lpay quickly and get out in the flats to nail the RB out of the backfield. Where has the weak spot on our D been for years (other than CB) - DT and LB. On Offense, I don\'t know. Either our Line doesn\'t sell it well, Brooks doesn\'t sell it well, Deuce is such a major target on our offense that no team is going to allow him to just slip out of the backfield, or McCarthy can\'t coach it and call it appropriately. My bet is all of the above. I\'d like to see them try a few with Stecker. The guy is better in the open field than Deuce (he\'s a speedy make-you-miss kind of a runner), and he\'s less likely to attract the attention of every LB on the field when he \"slips\" out of the backfield (as compared to the 235 pound MVP of our team). |

So, I\'m waiting on the fellow that posted that to asnwer the question. We all watched the Pathers run the screen rather successfully last Monday night. I\'m askin the fellow who made the original statement if this is because the GB defense is unable to practice defending the screen due to Farve\'s inability to throw one in practice? ;) |
