Keys to the Game

offense:
1) be able to run the ball
2) take care of the ball
3) russell punishes the blitz/pass game effective

defense:
1) neutralize graham
2) take away the run
3) get turnovers

we beat new orleans before, without being able to run the ball. if we open up the run game, and with the passing game effective, we score 30+.

on Defense: I would like to add - Pressure Pressure and more Pressure!

With KJ out, I think they test Malcolm with the screens and RB passes. If he/they defend it well, no problem. If not, it could be a long one.

minimize penalties.

Win turnover battle, don't make silly penalties, score TDs in red zone....

Score more points than the other team

minimize penalties.

Keys to the Game

Have more points than the opponent when the clock reads 00:00 in the fourth quarter!

Make sure

Control the clock on O to keep Brees off the field. We need to get pressure, not sacks specifically just pressure to make Brees get rid of it faster. Wilson needs to play a mistake free game and take what's given to him in the run game. Pete better not get cute with his emotions. Percy needs to at least get on the field to play decoy, maybe even make a few key plays. Simple right.

New Orleans will be out for revenge, they are not as talented but have a better QB and Coach.

this right here...we did awesome at taking away the screens and underneath routes on that Monday night...eliminate Sproles

And don't forget your illegal weapons to boot.

How about

It seems like these same keys to the game are applicable to almost all hawk games.

Stop Sproles in the flat. At the end of the last game, Brees found that if we run man or cover 3, Sproles is going to be open on the out. We need to tackle and jump a couple on third down, while continuing to emphasize not letting him loose coming back to the middle of the field.
