Saints Rams defense cannot play Saints like they did Dallas (2 Viewers)

[bergeaux]

Rams stacked the line of scrimmage all game, daring Dak to beat them and he couldn't. Now all I hear is how the Rams defense has transformed into a real defense.

They will more than likely play better than week 10, but if they do the same game plan against Drew Brees, they will get torched. Just sayin'

Agreed.
I feel just as I did about the Eagles second game with us. It will be hard fought and we will have to find a way to scrape by.

While we are being widely dismissed I think we can do it if our big guys are ok enough. I think we will need 35 plus for this one.

I do respect Talib and that will be something we haven’t had to face.

I think the Rams know that. What will be interesting is how they cover Thomas. Do they try to man him up with Talib or Peters, or do they double team him and take him out of the passing game and dare someone else to beat them? If they man up like they did the last time with Peters, Thomas will kill them like he did the last meeting. I'm sure Talib will struggle covering him as well. And if they do cover 2 him, who on the Saints steps up and makes the plays in the passing game? Ginn?

Talib will be asked to guard MT so that he can’t abuse Peters again.

One thing though Hump, both Peters and Talib were getting roasted Saturday night and Prescott couldn't hit anyone. Looks like Talib still is being bothered by the injury some too. I have confidence we'll see our guys getting open often and feasting.

And Talib will do a better job with it because he's not terrible in coverage like Peters.

Okay. Lets hope as I don't think Talib can stay with Thomas one-on-one either. Thomas will punk him like he punked Peters.

Ahh thanks broccoli, I wasn’t able to catch much of that game.

So I wonder why from what I’m reading we are big time underdogs?
And I’m just filling time, make no mistake I’d rather we fly under the flight deck....and I don’t care in the end what any who don’t play say. It’s all immaterial, including my own opinions. Just passing time as I’m excited.

Talib was terrible last week. He's either not healthy, rusty, or he's just getting old.

I think one that thing is different is Kupp won’t be in this game, and our defense is playing better than the last match up. Im cautiously optimistic.

I agree with both kupp gone and our defense playing better being helpful, but I am worried about the new CJ-Gurley tandem show. I am not pessimistic, but I think they will wear us down more than I'd like.....

Didn't Talib leave with a concussion?
