Can we get a better breakdown.. How does our DE's stack up against their OT's..
How do our WR's stack up against their CB's..

Break it down.

Their OTs aren't overly glorified but they made Mathis and Sweeney disappear. Their LT is this guy from Europe who just started playing and looks to be an absolute stud in the making. The biggest thing they did against the Colts however was the intricate ways that they protected Brady. They motioned TEs a lot, chipped with WRs/RBs before getting out in their routes and slid protection; they kept the DEs guessing.

Our WRs are substantially better than their CBs. Our depth at WR is gonna be the biggest advantage against their D. They have athletic LBs who did a good job taking Clark away against Indy. They also have Belichick who knows how to take away one WR (Wayne or Colston). The key that the Saints have is they have multiple studs in Henderson, Meachem, and Moore (if he plays) or Bush (if they split him out) as opposed to the Colts who have a bunch of rookies and unproven guys at WR who are only benefiting from Peyton being a genius.
