An observation of a weakness of the Saints D is the cutback run against them. Unfortunately, b/c the Saints D is by nature an aggressive group, a la Gregg Williams philosophy, our DEs and LBs tend to lose contain and overpursue, thus leading RBs to simply cut against the grain and get big yardage. Saw it yesterday, but have seen it a # of times (Arizona playoff game comes to mind). What I'm confident about is that we'll correct the problem, b/c we always do for the next game, but that the problem does resurface again.

Maybe some knowledge from SSF football experts on best defending this, other than the obvious solution in not losing contain?
