Was it all b/c of Haynesworth? If so, what adjustments does the offense make when/if they meet the Vikings defense led by 650 pounds of Williamses at DT?

Not OVERLY concerned about the pass defense b/c some CBs will back for the playoffs.

i'm leary to point to haynesworth when we ran pretty well on DTs like Kris Jenkins and Wilfork.

I don't think Pierre got as many touches as he should have. It just seemed like he was running the ball better than Bell was today.

Other than that, I have no idea. Looks like they just came prepared to stop the run and did a damn good job of doing it.

The screens worked against Vikings from what I saw in that MNF game.

Do you ever give the Saints credit? Also, what NFL team do you pull for?

Not always, just asking a question.

fair enough.

this is a legit question based on the game today and not a slam at all. It's just not sucking off today's performance and saying crazy shite like "we are god's team" or crap like that.

Is actual football strategy talk not allowed on the saints board?

true. Going to hope that the field had a lot to do with the screens not working too well. Hard to catch and make that first hard cut needed for a great screen game when it's goo underneath your feet. No threat of a screen game kind of lets the DL narrow their focus.

Have to think on turf that the screen will work better, regardless of setting.

No one said that.

Just never seen anything positive from you. Still didn't hear who your team was?

I noticed Bell trying to run to the outside and trying to make the corner several times. I guess I'm just used to him running up the middle and cracking skulls. Was this different from other games or was I just missing it in previous weeks?

then you have clearly chosen to ignore my posts about Brees, Bell, Sharper, Thomas, and Payton's scheme.

Oh ok, no problem. Just remember when you want to call someone a pussy, I'm not a hard person to find.
