Saints can handle the Wildcat. Sharper takes advantage of another young QB when the Fins are forced to start passing

This guy has been talking quite a bit of mess this season.

Channing crowder really? channing crowder.....

 

[KNUBB]

I thought you would get a laugh out of that.........

 

[MVP1991]

Channing Crowder always talks smack it is who he is.

And I'd love to see the Saints handle the Wildcat and Miami rushing attack. Oh and Ginn will burn your secondary for a big play come Sunday.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Saints roll, further show that the Wildcat is a gimmick.

 

[KNUBB]

Channing Crowder is a faggot it is who he is.

Fixed....

You won't be able to run that same gameplan that you ran against the Colts. Saints score too often. They don't leave too many points on the field. If Henne throws deep Darren Sharper is over the top to pick that shit off. I will say the margin of victory may be lower than the average of 14 points. Not too much lower. Maybe a 10 point victory

 

[GoChargers]

Gooooo Saints

 

[ultfrisbee]

Time of possession will make the Saints score only 27, 30 or 31 points instead of 48 and Miami won't score more than 20...

im taking miami in this. gut feeling, i understand that new orleans is the better team. those dolphins are explosive though, its a definite possibility.

Dolphins will win in a close one.

I believe the Dolphins Wildcat will run all over the Saints. You cannot call it a gimmick anymore. Against a top ranked Jets defense the Phins ran it 17 times for 107 yards and the game winning touchdown. When you run an offense over 1/4 of your plays and even depend on it to win you a game with only seconds remaining it is far from just a gimmick. I don't think the Saints front seven is good enough or tough enough at all to stop it.

The Dolphins have a lot of pass rushers like Jason Taylor, Joey Porter, and Cameron Wake. The Giants you could probably say the same thing about except there secondary is banged up which is why i don't think you'll see Brees do what he did against the Giants against the Dolphins.

Dolphins win 24-21.

I mean the saints only have the 5th best rush defense in the league. Even if the secondary was banged up it doesnt matter in my opinion if everyone on the giants were healthy they couldtn touch brees so your secondary is only as good as your rush he had all day to jsut sit back and pick apart they secondary. I think they hit him only three times maybe a couple more but still the o line does there job and should keep it up this week.

I don't think what their rush defense is ranked really matters because the Wildcat is unlike your normal rushing offense, like how they got there rank. Plus the Dolphins are the #1 rushing offense in the league on the other side of that.

The Dolphins run a different style of defense than the Giants. I don't think it'll exactly be the same. I think they will blitz more and not rush just four players for most of the game like the Giants did. So unlike the Giants i believe the Dolphins will blitz more and they have a healthy secondary.

Also i think that rush defense rank could also be a little misleading. When the Saints get out to a quick lead teams are then forced to pass to get back into the game. I don't think the Saints will score so quickly like they did vs the Giants and vs other teams. I think the game will be a lot closer earlier.

If you want to see what happens when the d blitzes the Saints then look at the Eagles game. They blitzed a decent amount and still got torched. The Saints O is overwhelming. Anyone banking on the Wildcat needs to realize that Greg Williams is a damn good defensive coach. He gameplans really well.

 

[ram29jackson]

the wildcat will be useless and pointless in this game. The saints will dominate. Nothing more, nothing less.

The Eagles didn't blitz a lot that game. Brees had 34 pass attempts and they really did not blitz a lot. The only other 3-4 team the Saints played was the Jets and against them they also did not have a lot of offensive success. The Dolphins also have a lot more and better pass rushers than the Eagles.

Saying Gregg Williams is a good defensive coach doesn't really mean too much. Rex Ryan is also a good defensive coach and he got torched by it when they played the Dolphins. The only time the Wildcat was really stopped was in 08 vs the Ravens when Rex Ryan was the DC, so he even had previous played against it with success then couldn't stop it the second time around. Looking at the Saints defensive personnel i really don't think they will slow it down.

Rex Ryan's team doesn't have the offense the Saints do. The Saints are arguably the most complete team in the league. You have to honestly tell me that the Phins will score on every drive. When the Saints are in attack mode they put points on the board almost every time

Not this week. You don't give one of the best football minded teams in the NFL 2 weeks to prepare for Drew Brees. I think the Saints luck stops here. Yeah I said luck. They're a great team on offense but their defense isn't scaring anyone. Miami wins in a close one.

:homieslol:

Luck...lulz......... I have been waiting for you to come in here. I enjoy how you Dolphin fans are looking at the Jets like it is a quality win. Turns out they really aren't that good. They have a good defense. You understand if it is a shootout then the game swings advantage Saints. The defense honestly needs only 2 stops the entire game to win. That is giving the Phins 1 legitimate stop. That is all you can account for. Dolphins aren't putting up rediculous numbers. Saints are. You lost to the Colts whose D is not as good as the Saints. Attempting to discredit the defense that has forced the most turnovers and the team with the widest turnover margin is kinda foolish.

We'll see Sunday cupcake.

Don't be running to go hide when the game doesn't go your way
