Luckily, there aren't many receiving corps in the NFL that are that deep. |

Film study: Reviewing Saints defense By Mike Triplett
Don't get your hopes up. The Spagnuolo experiment wasn't cancelled, the zone run blocking scheme last season wasn't cancelled on the first sign of rain either. Our front office tends to stick with things they install in the offseason. The blocking clicked last season near mid point and Spags defense never did. Some of us noticed Robinson playing 25 yards off the preseason. Let's hope we aren't 0-6 before it clicks this season. |

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. |

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. |
