Re: Analysis: How the Saints made Carolina pay for selling out against the run
We're going to have to keep banging away with the run and not abandon it as we did in the second half of the Week 1 loss...

Carolina took a chance with the "let old man Brees beat us" strategy.
Backfired. |

Re: Analysis: How the Saints made Carolina pay for selling out against the run
we used to blow teams out that tried this pre 2013. I still think we need a young speedster next year but Ginn played great and the defense has blown my mind this year with all the injuries. I hate to even say this but I'm pulling for Atl and hoping we beat the Vikings. I'm still mad at Atlanta because of the way the refs screwed us the first time we played them and what would be sweater than beating them to go to the Superbowl!

If you consider yourself a good defense, you should not have to sell out against the run. Selling out is a bad idea if you are playing a team with any kind of passing game.
I guess the Saints were just the worst kind of matchup for the Panthers this year. I might not be watching anymore, but I still enjoy knowing that Cam is eliminated. |

Carolina must have watched film on that Week 14 loss to Atlanta - same script, damned if lightning didn't strike twice - Brees choked... We're fortunate to escape with a win after giving Carolina another chance - that schitte won't get it moving forward... I'd like to think I'd like our defense's matchup better this time with Minnesota with the rookies now seasoned, Crawley all in place... But we're going to need a minimum of 24 points and Brees has got to cease this recent trend at the end of games... |

The one mistake Payton and playcalling made was they allowed the Panthers make the Saints one dimensional...
Play-action only works if the threat is there to run; even if we only get 3 RuYds per Att, keep them honest... |

Re: Analysis: How the Saints made Carolina pay for selling out against the run
McDaniel, Trey, Hill, Feeney, Bell, Coleman (minus the muff) all stepped up yesterday. A good factor as to why the Saints are advancing.

Major, you think that happens with Bill Johnson or Joe Vitt who were operating like cruise directors? |
Re: Analysis: How the Saints made Carolina pay for selling out against the run
If nothing else, this game definitely allowed the passing game to shake off some the rust...
There were some timing issues with deep balls being under-thrown, screen passes disorganized... We'll need that deep threat timed right cause we won't get many chances against these Viking DBs... It'll definitely be a more balanced attack for us to be successful in Minnesota... |

Re: Analysis: How the Saints made Carolina pay for selling out against the run
Carolina had no answer based off previous 2 games so they took the chance on making Brees beat them and he did just that, but the game was closer and you can argue Carolina probably should had won.
Question will arise what if Minny tries the same thing? They might be a little more aggressive in the secondary than Carolina. |
Re: Analysis: How the Saints made Carolina pay for selling out against the run
I believe the Vikes will take away Ingram and Mike Thomas. If the Saints are gonna win, and it's gonna be tough, I think the "other guys" as in Ginn, Snead, Coleman, Hill and Lewis will have to come up with several big plays. I also think it may be necessary to unleash Kmara fully and give him 20 carries. I hope Ingram can be effective but I think only a talent like Kmara can really gash that Vikings D. I predict the Superbowl winner is the Saints or Vikings. Yes I'm a WhoDat homer but that's my opinion. WHODAT!

The Vikings averaged about 24 points a game, and the pressure is on them for this game. I just feel better about this game than I did about Carolina. Saints have to play their game, win 3rd downs, and not make mistakes.
