Saints give dull effort in 16-10 loss to Redskins

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Monday 18 December 2006 at 1:06 am

The Saints looked flat in this game.  Drew Brees was a little bit off as he completed 21 of 38 passes for 207 yards and an interception.  Deuce McAllister had a rough time too as he carried the ball 15 times for 48 yards (3.2 ypc) and a TD.  Reggie Bush carried the ball 7 times for 14 yards (2.0 ypc) and he caught 5 passes for 19 yards.  Marques Colston had a decent game with 7 catches for 84 yards.

Scott Fujita led the way for the defense with 7 tackles.  The Redskins ran the ball at will on the Saints defense.  The Redskins carried the ball 31 times for 161 yards (5.2 ypc).  The Redskins only completed 13 of 28 passes for 193 net yards passing.

The Saints fell to 9-5 with this loss, but they clinched the NFC South Title.

Will Smith dominating off the edge

Smith has done a great job this season of getting to the QB and making big plays when he get there.  Smith has 41 tackles, 10.5 sacks, defensed 3 passes, forced 3 fumbles and recovered a fumble so far this season.  He’s been the game changing player that the Saints thought they were getting when they drafted him in the first round out of Ohio State.

New Orleans Saints vs. Washington Redskins

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup by ravenhater on Friday 15 December 2006 at 10:06 pm

The Washington Redskins have lost their last two games and 4 of their last 5.  The Saints have won 3 games in a row and have outscored their opponents 107-40 in those games.

The Redskins will run the football in an attempt to keep the Saints offense on the sideline.  LeDell Betts (814 yards rushing) has been great since moving into the starting line-up after Clinton Portis went down for the season.  The Saints are allowing 131.8 yards rushing per game and 5.1 yards per carry so far this season!  Look for Jason Campbell to take some deep shots to Santana Moss and short ones to TE Chris Cooley.  The Redskins will have to keep Will Smith (10.5 sacks) out of the backfield in order to give Campbell a fair shot at the Saints weak secondary. 

The Saints will likely try to run a balanced offense on Sunday.  Deuce McAllister (901 yards rushing) will do the heavy lifting in the running game, and Reggie Bush (405 yards rushing) will run a few sweeps against a Redskins defense that is allowing 128.3 yards rushing and 4.2 yards per carry so far this season.  Drew Brees will be attacking the Redskins deep to Marques Colston, Devery Henderson and Terrance Copper.  The Redskins have probably the worst secondary in the NFL as they’ve given up 25 TD passes and only have 5 interceptions.  Reggie Bush (79 rec, 687 yards) will probably get the ball alot out of the backfield and put big-time pressure on the Redskins’ linebackers.

The Saints should blow out the Redskins in the SuperDome on Sunday.

Joe Horn is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with a groin injury.  The team hopes the rest will have him ready for the playoffs.  Devery Henderson and Terrance Copper will replace him.

Saints destroy the Cowboys 42-17

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Monday 11 December 2006 at 1:56 pm

The Saints really had a great night in Dallas.  They destroyed the Cowboys defense, which had been great till lst night.  The Saints also had a good defensive gameplan to deal with the Cowboys offense.

Drew Brees had a fantastic game as he completed 26 of 38 passes for 384 yards with 5 TDs.  Deuce McAllister had a good game with 21 carries for 111 yards (5.3 ypc) and caught 3 passes for 15 yards.  Reggie Bush was fantastic in Dallas as he carried the ball 6 times for 37 yards (6.2 ypc) and caught 6 passes for 125 yards and a TD.  Mike Karney had an outstanding game too as he carried the ball 3 times for 14 yards (4.7 ypc) and a TD.  He also caught 5 passes for 39 yards and 2 TDs.  Devery Henderson had 2 big catches for 92 yards and a TD.  Marques Colston returned from injury and caught 5 passes for 48 yards.  Jamaal Jones caught 1 pass, a 27-yard TD.

The Saints did a pretty good job on the Cowboys offense.  The Cowboys carried the ball 16 times for 116 yards (7.3 ypc), but the Saints took them out of the running game by putting so many points on the board on offense.  The Cowboys completed 16 of 33 passes for 231 net yards passing.

The Saints improved to 9-4 on the season with the beat-down of the Cowboys.
