    Good, the more looks we give our defense the better prepared they can be.Saintslogo

    every play Brees isn't at QB is a play not worth running imo.

    I really think (and I could be wrong), but I really think the wildcat will get exposed this year in the NFL now that teams had an offseason to look at it.

    Actually, Gary Gibbs figured it out for the Saints back in '06. Go back and look at footage of the MNF game against the Falcons (the return to the Dome game). Much of what Atl did with Vick back then is what you see in the Wildcat. The Saints blew it up that night by blitzing Roman Harper. Vick would try to run that read draw and Harper would force him to commit too soon.

    I agree! The Saints need to experiment with playing defense, the offense is just fine.

    This.

    I think they were only in the wildcat to give our defense a different look. Remember, we play the Dolphins this year! We'd better know how to defend it.

    I'd be very surprised if we ran it ourselves in a game.
