GoSaints1 -

What's your game plan on Sunday vs Lions ?

IMO we have to do a better job of stretching the field however Brees can no longer make those deep passes to keep defenses honest.

I find it hard to believe that Harris and Sanders weren't creating any separation to get open vs the Packers. Checking down to AK isn't gonna work effectively anymore.

Did you notice that Taysom had an open receiver (I believe it was Sanders), yet he tucked and run the ball instead ? I'd try and utilize his ability as a WR in space.

CSP will have to get very creative offensively to make things work.

I think most ills of this team will go away when MT#12 returns. Maybe “hidden” is a better word to use. Drew has a connection with him, even to this day, and can get him the ball quick enough. MT#12 refuses to fail, he won’t quit, #9 knows it, and will get the ball to him as often as possible. It’s EXACTLY what Waller did to us, Carr isn’t better than current #9..., he is just smart enough to let the dominant player on the field demoralize the opponent. We all saw it in our defensive player’s eyes and body language. Hands were thrown up in futility for an inability to cover him, by multiple defensive players.

wrt Detroit, it will be the exact same check-down game if CGM isn’t playing. I DO hope we power run more though. I was VERY impressed with Murray hitting the hole hard and fast, well fast for him, lol, during the first half of the GB game. Then we start getting fancy schmansy with the playcalling. Detroit is a game I expect to win regardless of injured player’s availability. Oh, speaking of speed..., did you see the McCoy’s speed call on Kamara’s 52 yard TD? lol, McCoy’s top speed was faster while blocking than Kamara’s while picking his way through defenders! That’s a good blocker, and a patient, disciplined RB! Glad to have both!
