One thing to Note the Seahawks v NO

Is that NO does have a good Dline against the run.

I believe they blitz most of the time, and S (Now IR) Vaccaro was getting some good hits against Lynch.

With the Saints depleted Secondary, I believe the right way is to be a passing team than running team.

Rob Ryan is definitely a believer in relentless blitzes. RW doesn't ever seem to panic and I think your WRs > their DBs overall. Their DBs will win a few matchups here and there, but it won't be enough.

Saints d is a little overrated. Looking at their schedule they played the AFC east, three bad teams and a loss to the patriots. NFC south twice, two bad teams and the panthers who win with defense. Us, Wilson with 300 yards and3 tds. Dallas who stinks.

you could make that argument against out d as well but there is a difference between being a good d, and being tops in as many critical categories as we are.

Bevell has Rob Ryan's number. He's beat Ryan's team twice in two years. By large deficits, too.

We need to do exactly what we did before. Rob Ryan does not have the ability to figure anything out and make changes accordingly. He has one way of doing things, blitz, blitz, and blitz some more. He has never been able to adjust to what he is facing. He couldn't do it in Dallas and it cost him his job. He has not done it in NO, teams have figured him out, and it will cost him his job again.

The loser who looks like he just crawled out from sleeping under a bridge where everyone goes to piss and puke, is not very bright.

This. We've blown out 2 Ryan Defenses in the last 2 years. Bevell knows how to counter most of what Ryan throws at him. The Saints D is not what I would be concerned about.

Seahawks ended with the worst (#32) pass protection in the entire league. BUT, New Orleans is not the Saints, 9'ers, or Cardinals. I think we will be Ok, if the defense plays up to their normal levels.

Yup. I'm more worried about the Saints offense. If Brees is hot, we'll be in for a long day.

Maybe you should read what you wrote again.

I don't think NO defense will be as ineffective as it was last time. I also think NO offense will run the ball much more to keep their defense fresh and chew up clock.

Saints = St Louis.
