Don't take your play maker off the field on those short goal line situations.

Mike/Kamara gives us the best opportunity to score.

Correct the play call at the goal line before the half was ridiculous. Might as well have lined up for the FG instead.

Burner? Neaux, you're absolutely right on that one...

Who’s your favorite candidate?

Carr? I’m not sure Lil’Jordan is a true slot. Kirkwood maybe? I think Tre’Quan will end up being in the Tedd Ginn role.

That being said the offense needs to step up next week against the Sucs

As long as he can make Aaron Brooks look bad, we will all be OK with that.

Teddy giving it his all as a game manager... because that’s all he offers. Hard for folks to make plays when he won’t throw the ball more than 10yds.

I’m not sure what people here expected from Teddy, but I have seen exactly what I expected to. A game manager that can win if everyone plays great around him. Teddy ranks 30th in QBR after 2 games, so if that’s giving it his all... ok.

I don’t think Teddy will put up enough points against Tampa, unless the D or special teams score, this game is likely a loss.

So what do you do to game plan on Sunday if you are Coach Payton/Carmichael?

We gotta slow the game down. Run. Run. Run. Play action. Slant. Bubble screen. RB screen. Curls. Quick outs. Drags. Then eventually take the top off.

I actually think this is a much tougher match up than last week's game simply because who the Bucs now have as a Head Coach and Def Coordinator.

Lattimore will need to replicate his performance on those boundaries.

Goodwin and Mike Evans are problems.

I agree with Rez, but we need to force teddy into deep throws more often. Teddy is 1-7 on throws of 15yds or more, that's awful but you have to keep the threat of it in the game so DBs don't start cheating up. I would also mix in Hill and let him have about 15 snaps at QB, not for gadget plays, but for actually throwing the ball and making reads.

I hope he gets back soon. It looked like the light bulb was just about to come on when he got injured.

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
