Interesting what the opposing team thinks about the potent Saints offense.


quote:

How do you stop the league’s top scoring offense? Better yet, how do you do it on the road? And lastly, how do you do it with a decimated secondary? Those are the challenges facing the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles as they limp in to a crucial Week 11 matchup.


quote:

So the Saints have three elite red zone players operating at a high level, but wait, there’s more. Perhaps the biggest pain in the caboose for defensive coordinators this year has been game-planning for what the Saints do with their backup dual-threat quarterback Taysom Hill.


quote:

It’s a nightmare for defensive coordinators. Not only do they have to prepare for an explosive, dynamic offense, but they must also spend a considerable amount of time game-planning for a back-up quarterback.


quote:

The variety in which the Saints have approached their red zone snaps is truly something to behold. They can beat you in so many ways and have a bevy of different concepts, alignments, and personnel groupings on tape. All of that will have to be broken down, digested, and planned against.

If we’d throw a little more with Taysom then I think coordinators would really be shitting their pants.

And this is why Payton is a genius. He is making other teams have to spend valuable reps to prepare for a 3rd string QB.

You know it's coming. Hill has only thrown a couple of times and has been off the mark so far. But just the threat of it keeps them honest.

Beyond the defensive game-plan, Jim Schwartz will be tasked with coaching up a defensive unit that is on life support. If he’s forced into vanilla deployments due to a lack of chemistry and experience on the back end, the Eagles may find themselves in a boat race.
The Eagles boast the 4th ranked red zone defense and have yet to allow over 30 points this season. That streak is in serious jeopardy.


It is a great time to be a Saints fan. This was never an issue back in the early 80s.

Great find. I had almost the exact conversation with a friend of mine yesterday. The play design and execution is amazing. Enjoyed the read.
