So how are we looking against who dat nation?
Last year was a shootout. I don't expect that to be the case this year. Our defense is WAYYYY better. Pass coverage and pass rush look good so far. However, we're up against drew breesus. The fastest release in football. The defensive front has to get pressure. We can't afford to send extra blitzers at Beesus because 1) he'll dissect it and 2) their WR don't scare me but I'd rather avoid 1 on 1s. Also TE coverage needs to tighten up.
On offense , the Saints defense doesn't scare me. Oakland hung 30+ points on them. Their best corner is out for an extended period of time. Their secondary is very green. The Giants have to set the tone. I understand run pass balance but you have to take advantage against an opponent's weakness. ODB, Shep, and Cruz should put up numbers.
I don't see this one as close especially since the saints typically don't play as well away from the Superdome.
