Zimmer has shown he can effectively limit us offensively over the years. 6 man fronts with either Harris or Harrison in the box.

No team respects our replacement wide outs.

What's your game plan on Friday?

Not real sure about respect paid, or not, lol, but I really like to see the over the top throws to Sanders! A lot. If you’re only using him on deep throws once or twice a season, then why have him? And one of my favorite plays of this entire year was in the last game. The screen TD to Murray, where he released from his block. That was beautifully done, I’d like to see more of that. I’m tired of short left/short right being the staple of our offense.

I’m not sure what to expect in the next game. Check down Brees means we struggle, imho. An opened up offense, using all of the weapons available and this is a VERY talented and good team.

After last game, despite the statistical disasters, I was more optimistic about the future. Then came DB#9’s comments and I cried inside, lol.

Bottom line, I agree with Rez. Regardless of who is throwing the ball, if you’re not scoring on offense, you’re not going to hang with the playoff teams.
