re: Last night will make us better

The system of offense that has worked for us in the past is not going to work in games like Seattle. Noise is a huge factor, so making tons of adjustments at the line is not a possibility. In this type of scenario, all you can do is leave the huddle with a run and pass option. QB will relay with hand signals to the WRs when the play changes, and use close calls to the backfield for blocking adjustments. Brees can't do it all in a loud environment. Also it'd be nice if our linemen looked like blockers and not turnstiles.

The Saints have glaring weaknesses that are exposed on the road. Last night they could not stop Seattle on third down to save their life, and Seattle had their way with them offensively. The Saints could not move the ball consistently, and that really hurt them too.
And come on, with nine seconds left and a timeout, Sean Payton elects for them to kneel the ball when they could try to throw it down the field, with the hopes of at least a completion, leading to a timeout and field goal?!
If Cam Newton does what Russell Wilson was able to do, I don't like our chances.

quote:Agree 100%. For better or worse, Payton's system is designed for controlled environments. It's just the way it is, and the record bears this out. Saints just don't have the muscle to impose their will on a top D, and they rely to a fault on so many plays that depend on having sufficient time to develop.

They also haven't run the ball consistently or with commitment since 2009. I was disappointed that Payton did not come out with some wrinkles, something to go against tendencies. Seattle was ready to pounce from the whistle.
