Galloway eager to face Saints man to man coverage....

There are two quotes from this story that I want to bring your attention to :

Galloway: "They'll mix it up a little bit, but we've seen them two times a year since I've been here, and they always come up and play you man"

and

The writer: ....in his past three games against New Orleans he has 13 catches for 223 yards and four touchdowns.

The problem I have with these quotes is that they are acting like Venturi is still in New Orleans and there is some continuity between what the Saints did defensively prior to this year and the Gary Gibbs defense. Yes, the Saints will still show a lot of man-to-man coverage on the wideouts. But what takes place after the snap is very different from the Venturi years, so the quotes above are more about pumping themselves up and giving the Bucs confidence that they can exploit the Saints through the air.

Simply put, I don't think Galloway or the writer can take performances against the Saints' secondary from prior years and assume that the Bucs receivers are primed for a big day. The pass rush is different, the way the underneath receivers are covered is different and this Saints team is different.

It is a fluff piece IMO and nothing more.
