Looking ahead to the Saints

[doughtydoubter]

you know i just want to see some improvement...too long have we played the coaching/qb carousel. Nobody really wants zorn or jc out we just want some long term stability

Man, this website is turning into the bicker house. One loss and everyone craps their pants.

I think I am one of the only optimistic Redskins fans. I'll be at the game, 50 yard line, 10 rows behind the Saints bench talking trash.

Our D, as we all know WILL BE BETTER...Springs will be back. I'm calling my boy Laron Landry with a pickle.

Now will the O be better? That is the million dollar question. I think it will....I'm expecting big things from CP...

Should be a good game...a very winnable game.

soup im right there with you buddy but 8 sections to your right and across the field on the skins sideline, we are a D team and i look forward to our boys running hard out there!!!!

go skins!

I hope we mix up the playcalling a bit to keep the Saints D off balance. Run-Run-Pass, Run-Run-Run isnt going to cut it. Do we still have that WR option with EL or the HB option with CP in this offense?

I'm new here and a Saints fan, but I must say...this is by far one of the classiest threads I've ever seen about an opposing team. I mean this is like the opposite of any Eagles message board I've ever been to. (And I say this fully disclosing the fact that I've engaged in some pretty nasty trash talk on the Saints behalf in my day.)
I'll be at the game this weekend and of course I'll be rooting my Saints on! I can only hope the fans in the stands are as classy as you guys seem to be!

There's your problem right there.

You're going to an Eagles message board. If you ever expect anyone to be classy, you're going to be in for a rude awakening.

Good luck on Sunday! (But not too much luck )

My hopes for the Saints in DC are as follows:

1. The D line continues to get push.

Sunday was fun to watch, and even with a mobile QB such as Garcia the line was able to get pressure all day. Even when he was able to get the ball to receivers there was pressure while he threw. I like Campbell and all, but he looked confused and immobile against the Giants... NO should be in his face all day.

2. More Colston, please.

I understand the gameplan for the Bucs included a more spread offense and a LOT of Reggie. But I would like to see NO best WR get more face time and let him do what he does. This is not saying I don't want to see Reggie run wild, but I want to see Colston get at least 6 or 7 catches.

3. Shockey, Shockey, Shockey.

Sunday was a nice debut. But in DC I want Shock to place the fear of the football Gods into the Skins. I want to see screencaps all day Monday of the confused Washington defensive player's faces as they try their best to find a way to cover Shockey while still not leaving Colston or Bush huge opportunities.

4. Test Washington's D early with a shot

Don't be shy to use that playaction, Payton. When Devery caught that TD pass Sunday it brought back a flood of feelings that I hadn't really felt since 06. The feeling that "yeah... we'll catch back up".

5. MM back in action alongside Porter

The kid really shined Sunday and there is no reason to "demote" him against a weaker offense this Sunday. I'm really looking forward to watching him mature in front of our eyes into a real playmaker.

6. Got Bush?

What can I say about the most athletic and explosive player the Saints have ever had? Sunday was like a "rebirth" of sorts for Reggie after the disappointing and injury riddled 07. He ran with authority, with swagger. And also, he ran fast as all hell. I would be my last dollar that Washington is scared poopless that they are going to be made fools of... especially their linebackers. Expect a LOT of plays that use Reggie as a decoy Sunday and even more that put him where he can do what he does best.

Score.

I just want us to look prepared on offense. We've had extra time to get ready. Just look like an NFL team, not some rinky dink high school offense. No excuse not to move the ball against a below average defense at home.

On defense I want to see a pass rush from Taylor and Carter. Cause if we don't knock Brees around it's going to be a long day. That dude doesn't have the strongest arm, and he's not 6'4 and 230 lbs, actually I don't even think he's 6'0 tall, but he just knows how to play QB and gets the job done.

My question now is.... If and I mean IFFF we beat the Saints this weekend, is it cheapened by the lack of Colston? Or did his minimal involvement in week 1 really solidify the fact that they have a great QB who can use anyone?
