Posted September 17, 2018 I know everyone always expects a shootout when the falcons and saints play and it doesnt happen as much as one would think. That being said there D is swiss cheese and I feel like Brees will pick apart the middle of the field without Jones. This is the matchup we will miss him the most Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 17, 2018 Our D is better than the Browns if we can hold Brees and Co under 21 we win -Saints D looks like they took a step back. Hopefully Kazee doesn't get suspended Richards look like hot doo doo out there. socalriseup likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On paper yes but my eyes tell me Cleveland will be top 10 this season -Id say we are about even with Jones and Neal out. We have the number 1 secondary after 2 weeks for what its worth. Man I hope Duke comes to play Brees to Kamara in space is going to be a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) I feel like Kamara is going to eat Duke alive. Brees always escapes our pressure and without Debo to clean up the short passes, and potentially being without Kazee too, we are going to be in for a very long day.

Posted September 17, 2018 Well if Kazee uses his head properly this week he might be able to do more in the middle of the field. The Falcons have done a good job shutting down WRs the last two weeks. The biggest receivers in the first two games are Ertz and McCaffery. Focus on Kamara and let the corners do what they do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richards was in on 79% of the snaps this week and looked much better than Riley...….It would not suprise me to see them look at featuring Richards in a game like New Orleans where he could play the short zone and be the blitzer that Poole has been. They Will expect Poole but Richards can also be an effective blitzer and should be the spy on Alvin Kamara if they opt for this strategy. Here are the Rush Tackles from the game that show how effective Richards can be against the run: Player Tm L End L Tckl L Guard Middle R Guard R Tckl R End Vic Beasley ATL 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 De'Vondre Campbell ATL 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 Grady Jarrett ATL 1 2 1 0 0 1 0 Damontae Kazee ATL 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 Takkarist McKinley ATL 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 Foyesade Oluokun ATL 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 Jordan Richards ATL 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 Duke Riley ATL 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 Deadrin Senat ATL 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 Edited September 17, 2018 by lostnmexico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 17, 2018 I think the Saints will lock in against us. Their D will play better than they have and the score will be lower than you think. I am guessing its a 24-17 kind of affair. That being said, I think Brees will be under a lot of pressure and that might mean a lot of screens to Kamara. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not saying Much Duke still has a ways to go its like night and with Debo out. Richards look lost most of the game lets jus hope Kazee isn't suspended Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree…..I really like the Means kid we got from Philly. He had three sacks in his last preseason game and they did not want to cut him but the numbers game got him in Philly. I want to see what Means can do against New Orleans for sure. Zimmer could also factor in and play well against the team that cut him! He knows their personnell better than anyone else having spent camp in NO last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 17, 2018 If we can get to Brees & slam him in the dirt & get in his face, he turns into a chicken chit every time. We have to get to him or he'll eat us alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
