Containing Rams RB Todd Gurley a priority for a Saints run defense coming off bad showing

The Saints must tighten up the run D. It won't matter who the Rams have running the ball (see Duke/Carlos Hyde wk 1) is. Getting David O back helps.

I'm more concerned about the Rams trio of wide outs.

Get (pressure) to Goff, he's an average QB. If he has all day to sit back and survey the field, he'll pick you apart.

BTW, Gurley avg 7 yard per carry last week vs the Panthers.

Like any qb with time will be successful in this league , but like u pointed out I think Goff is common nothing great he is coached up to be good. In the championship game when we had this guy corralled or even half sacked he had a dump valve waiting around him and they make it work. A tight end that released quick to help . Is what changed our game .

Yeah, but only 15 touches. He's not the workhouse he once was. You are right, tho: Hyde and Johnson fleeced us, so we shouldn't expect less from the Rams rbs
