re: Excellent read on what the Saints need to do on offense vs Seattle

that was a good write up.

thanks for putting that up, haven't read a lot of their stuff as much this season. No particular reason, guess it slipped my mind.

I'd like to point out a huge stat going into this game Saturday.

lets take a look at Seattle's 3rd down conversions the last 3 games as an offense.

@ N.Y. Giants 3-for-13.
vs. Arizona 2-for-13.
vs. St. Louis 4-for-13.

that comes to a total of 9 conversions in their last 39 attempts on 3rd down.

Now... for our boys in black and gold. Here is what Rob Ryan's defense has down to their last 3 opponents on 3rd down the last 3 games.

Carolina was 0-for-9 vs. the Saints.
Tampa Bay was 3-for-13 vs. the Saints.
Philadelphia was 3-of-12 vs. the Saints.

Total for our defense comes to only 6 conversions in 34 attempts for the opponents in the last 3 games.

The D was able to harness the speed and tempo of the Eagles offense for the most part last week.

Now, lets see if they can match the intensity of a more physical opponent in the Seahawks.

I think they can.
