Film study: Reviewing Saints defense By Mike Triplett

It seemed like a decent enough game plan, stop the kill shots and hold them in the RZ on a high level understanding. It would have worked if their kicker didn't have a bronzed leg. Seriously, how many kickers can make 2 clutch bombs like that, it's just not very likely. Cleaning up the tacking alone would have been enough.

1st half we gave up 10. Hit my number right on the head.
10 per half is good defense; 1 touchdown and 1 field goal.
2 touchdowns and 2 field goals for an entire game (to me), is good defense.
Down hill after that.
Last year things got tighter as the game went on, Sunday looks like the screws fell out late.
Maybe that's the kick in the butt they needed.

I think the fact the Saints drafted a press corner and brought in Champ, another press corner indicates they plan on much more man coverage than what we saw on Sunday.

We did it against the Ravens in preseason. We swept the Falcons last year with out a special plan and they had Gonzo then, why do we all of a sudden have a special plan for the Falcons? Difference between week 1 last year vs this year with the falcons is that Gonzales played and we won.

We have never needed anything special to beat them.

all of this advice from people who could never qualify for one single play in the sport of professional football

your words mean nothing other than they prove some of you are disloyal fans.

when you've earned your own super bowl ring, i'll give a **** what most of you think about professional athletes. just sayin.

Yeah, that's what I said. We didn't run that much zone in any game last year that I can remember. Don't know why we did this time but my guess is Ryan thought it was the best way to cover all 4 of their receivers. Obviously it didn't work so I doubt we see it as much again.

I hope next time we play we try playing up and stuffing receivers on the line and putting more pressure on poopy pants. If we can't get to him with four guys, try five.
