re: Saints Rushing Defense

Most teams come into games against the Saints committed to running the ball. They'll break off a few runs but the defense tightens down and get's the team into a passing situation that they can't convert. They then either have to go for it on 4th or punt. When they punt, we score. When they get the ball back, our defense is rested and fired up and we usually see another 3 and out, turnover or stalled drive and we get the ball back. By the time the other realizes it, they are down by 2 scores. So long running game.
If Dallas wins the coin toss they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they win and take the ball and get stopped, Saints get the ball after half and you know how they do in 2 minute situations. If they defer and give the Saints the ball first, we score and they are behind. It's a problem I'm glad we don't have to be faced with.
