Eat your heart out, haterrrrrs!<br /><br />OK, seriously, I only bring this up because if there was ever a game where we really need to run the ball it's this one. I hope we see a game plan like the Christmas Cowboys game in 2007 when we ran, ran, ran, ran and had Garcia complete some dinky-dunk stuff, then ran, ran, ran, and ran.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620157295698136927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-86853441769537686782009-09-19T21:00:13.542-04:002009-09-19T21:00:13.542-04:00Look forward to seeing you in the NFC Championship...Look forward to seeing you in the NFC Championship game!!! ;-)mperi61https://www.blogger.com/profile/02331110629802564213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-64315206547225762722009-09-19T18:19:47.202-04:002009-09-19T18:19:47.202-04:00RE: DB matchups

I'll cover that in a post. <br /><br /><br />RE: Gregg Williams <br /><br />I'm sure he only used what he had to in order to beat the Lions. Why show your hand if you don't have to? He's a good coach, but I'm curious to see how he does in NO. <br /><br /><br />@ Mario...<br /><br />Glad you stopped by.

As much as I love the big plays for quick scores we need to sustain long drives and keep that potent Offense off the field. i hope for once our run pass ratio is more 60-40 the other way. <br /><br />Also I agree with Cliff that this week will be big for our TE's because Kolb (well any young QB) likes the underneath stuff and those big guys will need to perform well.<br /><br />I like the Birds in a suprisingly non-high scoring game. 24-17Adam S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11550402871381739282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-17715457538691513242009-09-19T11:35:56.208-04:002009-09-19T11:35:56.208-04:00They'll have so much corn on the Kolb they won...They'll have so much corn on the Kolb they won't want to eat veggies for a month.

Glad that I read it and followed it over here. Nice work. I enjoyed your analysis. Have to say that no DMc makes me a bit more confident for a Saints' win. I think if he was healthy I'd think the Eagles win by 7-10 points. I don't know how much the Saints' D has improved since we played the Lions last week. I think that WIlliams shelved a great deal of his D package (as Old Buffoon pointed out) since we played Detroit and a rookie QB and coach. Against Andy and Kolb he'll need to do more. If our special teams played like they did last week, the Eagles will win by 21. We'd better have improved there if we want to win. Personally, I'm disappointed to see Donovan out. It would give we Saints' fans a better read on our team, but a win would be HUGE for us. Thanks again for the interesting read. I hope we kick your butts, but no injuries on either side. Oh and please kick the Cowboys' arses twice this year! And beat the other NFC South teams for me!!<br /><br />Best<br /><br />MVPmperi61https://www.blogger.com/profile/02331110629802564213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-78907726204736032222009-09-18T21:57:13.493-04:002009-09-18T21:57:13.493-04:00I think we can win this game, but I won't be t...I think we can win this game, but I won't be terribly surprised if we don't.

I love hearing about the Saints LB's east-west vulnerability. I could really see MM and AR devise some great plays (ala flip 90) to exploit that that would be relatively easy for Kolb to execute.<br /><br />On defense, do you expect Asante to be matched up with Henderson, Sheldon on Colston? Seems like that would be best, but maybe you see it differently. I also think this is a huge game for Mikell. He has to be fast in run support and not bite on misdirection and play action plays. He is our leader, and we need him to play at a pro bowl level this Sunday.<br /><br />Can't wait to see Payton and Co's faces stuffed with lots o corn on the Kolb! lolchanna02https://www.blogger.com/profile/08994326400990938291noreply@blogger.com
