I will never forget Smiths one handed interception in that last preseason game.Smith has a ton of talent and I feel he is a future big time player. Hopefully him and Davis can be our future version of the Madison/Surtain tandem. This week however,our entire defense faces a tough task with the Saints and Brees hopefully this is the game our secondary really puts together a strong game.

 

They have to step it up this week.

 

I doubt the Saints try to run anymore than they have to. This is the kind of game where Brees comes in ready to throw, throw, throw. I would expect to see just that on Sunday...and we need to sellout on it. Lots of pass rushers and DB's on the field. Anything we can do to slow him down and give our offense a chance to keep up on the scoreboard.

 

Completely agree,Brees is going to try and test the defense early,our key is to keep him on the sideline. We need to go the opposite direction of the Saints run,run,run. Put together long clock wasting drives on offense just like we did with the Colts but hopefully this time the defense will be ready to prevent them from scoring since they have had two weeks to rest and prepare.

 

hopefully smith gets a pick six (or two) this week

 

All I know is our secondary, mostly the safeties, need to man up this week and play better and MAKE tackles. The Saints will get their catches but we need to limit their yards and not let them break a tackle or two for the huge gain. Our safeties need to be at the top of their game this week for us to stay in it.
