nodimwithere Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 These Aints RB scrubs are running all over us!The Saints' RBs are not scrubs. They are the 7th best team in the NFL at running the football. That's one of the things that makes their passing game so lethal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{Mojo-Risin} Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Once again, this defense cannot stop a decent offense with good qb's.Whenever this defense looks above average, it is mainly because of the crappy team they played.

Tampa Bay Falcon Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Lol good question! I was thinking before the game ,"At least we have a good run D so the Aints are going to have to pass." Boy was i wrong to today. Their oline had their big boy pants on today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 We didn't have 8 in the box because we were scared of Brees and played coverage, we still couldn't stop them. Our run defense has been pretty bad since Stephen Nicholas went out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljbo Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 This was the biggest mistake we made... I heard Gruden say that our Coaches felt like we need to really focus on the pass and hope that our front guys can handle the run....If you dont atleast shutdown the run game of the saints.. You have no chance at stopping them... They will get passing yards regardless.... You must not let them run the ball tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftermath Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 terrible preparation + a terrible defensive game plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Most likely playing them again in 2 weeks for the #6 vs #3 matchup so they better burn the gameplan from this game and come up with something completly new and non predictable.

#1 pick Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Brees. He forces us to focus on the pass. Most run defenses will struggle when the QB is Rodgers, Brees, Manning, or Brady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they never been close to 900 maybe 750?I understand your question, but your implication is baseless! Just because none of their backs gets close to 1000 yards doesn't mean they are scrubs. I will bet if you look at their yards per carry, that it is very good. They just don't get that many total carries.It's just that they use RB by committee, and don't have a featured RB like the Falcons have with Turner; or the Vikes have with AP, etc. If you can't understand the difference between RB by committee and being scrubs, there is something wrong with your logic. They use RB by committee on purpose, to keep all their players happy and healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they never been close to 900 maybe 750?You can't judge a team's running game, or the quality of their RBs, by whether or not they rush for 100 yards. We know the Saints use RB by committee, unlike the Falcons with Michael Turner, or the Vikings with Adrian Peterson. You judge by yards per carry. For instance, Darren Sproles has 563 yards rushing this season, with a 7.0 yard per carry average. That's very good. Pierre Thomas has 532 yards rushing, with a 5.1 yard per carry average.Your attempt to equate 1000 yards with good RBs does not hold water for a RB by committee team (does not use a feature back).

HarmonWages Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 These Aints RB scrubs are running all over us!It might not be your defense. For comparison sakeSaints thru 14 games 1755 4.7 per carryFalcons 1548 3.9 per carryThe passing game certainly helps but, I think you may be being a little too hard on your run defense and may be underestimating the Saints RBs.

Club212 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Why run when you can pass? Does it matter? With BVClueless at the helm, I have to turn off the TV when its 3rd down! Just unwatchable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons_own_nfc_south Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The BS with coaching staff... We pay attention on one thing and other team comes with different plan... I heard the same ####### when GB blew us off in the playoff.. oh we tried to contain Rodgers... 10 days to prepare and that's how we do it.. I think this staff needs less time to prepare so they dont' think too much.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons_own_nfc_south Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 But but but Ray Edwards...I think he gives up on play so quickly.. I noticed that on Brees Sack.. he gave up on that play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
