He's spot on.
I think a couple of matchups to look out for are:
1) Brent Grimes coming back. Who will he cover?
2) Who's gonna cover Jimmy Graham? Assuming it will be a mix of 'Spoon and maybe Dunta Robinson?
3) Who's gonna cover Sproles? Falcons did good with this last matchup by spying him with 'Spoon primarily.
I think the Saints can win this one easily if they take more shots down field. Not sure why y'all didn't do that more last matchup!

Saints Offense is much more alive and on fire than it was last time we played. I expect more deep shots and stretching that D out even more. I think that will allow the running game to get cranked up this time around.

I actually think the Falcons did a pretty good job of containing the Saints offense in game 1. The stats wont tell you that, but 23 points given up is pretty good given how good NOLAs offense is. I can live with 23 points.
ATLs run defense has been pretty bad the last few weeks but the defense as a whole has been playing much better. With the addition of Grimes we are pretty much 100% healthy. Ray Edwards and Abraham are finally getting in a groove and Spoon has been great all year.
The Saints blitz an absurd amount of the time and believe it or not, Ryan is much, much more successful against the blitz. It is when he has all day that he struggles.
Both ATL and NOLA looked very good last week, we will see what happens come Monday.

How about any QB's career.
