Saints vs 49ers

Teams are basically giving mandatory sitting out for a game with a hint of a concussion. Vaccarro is out. I'd guess v Davis will need clearance but his wasn't bad so he may sneak by.

I do know kaepernick has sucked most of the he minus game 1. I keep waiting but see no improvement. Saints just need to contain him and double Davis or Crabtree.

 

No way we rush for over 200 yards this week, but if we can rush for at least 100 and/or avg at least 4.0ypc, I like our chances. It's going to be tough though, since SF is coming off a loss.

 

I was watching Frisco and Carolina with much enjoyment yet that turned into fear. The front 7s of these teams are so good while Carolina's was better. I kept thinking how I was watching a teams mirror image of itself.

Tall mobile qbs who can run about a 4.3.

Neither pass well consistently.

Both will smash you upfront.

Both have dominant defenses who they rely on when the qbs aren't performing.

They play so similarly it's kinda strange.


Anyhow, cam is making much better decisions and smarter football than kaepernick. At least of late. But Everytime I watch lafell and Steve smith are dropping balls consistently.

I feel better about beating Frisco bc of their inability to trust their qb. And if Brees can put up 2 or 3 scores early, I think the harbaughs could be in trouble. But you have to stop gore.


Otoh, I think cam newton can spread us out and do much more damage on his own. Thank god he doesn't really have a good group of wrs.

The saints remaining schedule is brutal. We can safely assume no HFA thru the playoffs.

And we need to keep Brees upright. Or Eventually he's going to get hurt.

 

27-20 looks right. I'll go a little higher.



Saints 30-20

 

Hopefully, Ryan is smart enough not to put him in position to do thaat.
