I see Collie as the key guy needed back. Then Tamme limping, and even Eldridge and White were missed. Obviously JA is our best RB, but I'm not sure what his health is right now.
But watching the likes of Gijon Robinson and Brandon James going out there for passes yesterday was just awful...
LOL, you didn't stuff Allen, you doubled him and he was still breaking through those double teams some. The reason Brees struggled and Payton called a "conservative game" is bc their pass rush was affecting your offense.
I have a lot of respect for Will Smith. I live in NO, I know the Saints...
I do respect them. They are my 2nd favorite team in the league besides the Colts.
But I've also watched them enough to know who they are. They have a left tackle who can't block anyone, and would have been overmatched. They are a big play team going against a defense with a lot of speed...
If Freeney were healthy, I would pick the Colts to win by 2 touchdowns. Without Freeney, I think this game is a toss up.
The Colts blew out the Saints two years ago, in large part bc Freeney dominated Jammal Brown. They have Bushrod now, who may be the worst left tackle in football. With his...
Yeah, I thought it was a little amusing that I've read all season on here how great players like Merriweather, Chung, Bodden, Butler, etc are; and now they all suck. Much of it has to do with the difference btw facing teams like the Jets/Dolphins/Bucs, versus facing the Saints.
I think the...
But haven't Warren and Green missed multiple games? You were substandard stopping the run in the 4-3 when Wright was a starter at DT bc Wright doesn't play the run well.
But a 3-4 with Warren and Green at the ends, I see as a good run stopping unit. Even though I don't like Guyton.
From...
It's not substandard against the run with Warren and Green back. They just ran up against a team that runs the ball very well in the Saints that have the best guard combination in the league.
And noone is as good at celebrating plays as the Houston Texans! :D
I think both of those defenses match up better bc of Freeney/Mathis along with the Colts speed in the back 7, and Jared Allen.
But yes, the Saints are a great team that certainly is better than the Colts right now.
The Pats' D matches up better against some offenses than the Colts' D, but...
I don't see that as a solution. The only reason AD got a sack is he was being blocked by David Thomas, and Thomas came off the ball late anyway.
I agree with Belichick that Burgess and TBC are better rushers than Thomas. Burgess had some good rushes against the Colts.
I keep reading across the nation and on here that your defense sucks. That you should have kept Seymour, Vrabel, etc. That this is the worst Pats team of the decade. etc.
I think you guys are overreacting based on one game against a great team, and not acknowledging the fact that the Saints...
Jerraud Powers is our best secondary player, that kid is a stud. Hayden used to be good, but has been hurt for about 16 straight games now. Jackson could never cover 1/10 as well as Powers, he's a zone guy all the way.
Powers has made a huge difference.
It shouldn't be stunning considering that the Colts play a soft Cover 2 where all of your receivers are wideopen bc we give 10 yard cushions. Now if we played man to man like you do, then you may have a question.
Re: Peter King's mid-season All-Pro team.....
We treat him like that bc we're smart enough to see that this team wouldn't be very good without him, and we've basically lost to teams with more talent most of those times in the playoffs. Not sure how anyone could blame him last year for...
