Saints vs Buccaneers: A tale of menthol and camphor

They are much better than the first two times the Saints played them. I expect them to run Fournette at the Saints. Make the DLine tackle. Slow down the pass rush. Control the clock. Limit Saints possessions. I also believe they will attack the middle of the Saints OLine and try to get in Drew's face. It's going to be a fight.

You could be right Cruize but that would be completely against Arian’s style. Not sure he can make that switch.

Brady has three targets over 6'5" and Antonio Brown at his disposal. Arians plan is to throw it all over the field and if the receiver can't catch it he'll hope for a PI penalty because like a catch, no one knows exactly what pass interference really is.

I expect the D to SHUT DOWN the run.

Yep.

Fournette doesn't do it for me & he's not as good a pass catcher as Ronald Jones (injured) coming out of the back field.

or did they play crappy teams the last 4 weeks? ALT twice, Detroit, and Wash? I'm not buying it but I'm again happy being underrated again by media. I don't see any scenario where we'll get the talking heads approval for the rest of the season, and I'm OK with that.
