Conventional wisdom, and subsequently what the Saints want to do, is rush for those first downs so they don't risk killing the clock with an incompletion.

True; it is a double-edged sword.

Is getting the 1st down more important than the clock stopping if it is incomplete.

Don't call double reverses or screen plays to a 3rd string TE, especially if it is 4th down!
