I agree, but as was pointed out in the article, they stay on the field for a long time, and the Saints defense is not good at stopping the run. If they were able to keep the Seahawks offense off the field, that means a more tired and more vulnerable defense.

Part of the reason the middle is open is because the Saints run a lot of sets where the backfield is empty or the back goes out as a safety valve. The linebackers that would usually be waiting there are going out wide with the back or dropping into coverage in an empty set because there's no back in there to threaten…

New Orleans Keys to the Game:

Oh I know he wasn't being serious, but that didn't make it any less bizarre

Even weirder was later in the broadcast when he (apparently jokingly?) threatened to physically harm Digger Phelps and called him the devil. The whole broadcast was pretty surreal

Smith really hasn't been able to forge any kind of relationship with the press or his coaches, and now he's getting hammered. Everyone knows that if he starts playing better, he can iron out all these problems though

Arizona vs UCLA looks like a hell of a game tonight too, I'll be tuning in for that one even without a rooting interest

HER: But I've seen your penis before!

Coach: That's it, Austin, crash the boards, sky for those rebounds!

+1

I can't tell if this is serious or a joke, but either way it's hilarious

He shouldn't have cast a vote for anyone, after all, the entire balloting process was tainted when I shot myself full of anabolic steroids before voting

I don't expect him to last long there, he has significant struggles completing the toss to commercial

Dysentery is just a convenient excuse for why they're always shitting the bed

This is a totally unreasonable argument to me. Only 3 teams had more yards this week than the Cowboys, and only 5 scored more points (one of them being the Packers). This is objectively not an offensive problem, any team in the league would be elated if they knew they were going to have over 450 total yards and…

Correction: you aren't going to win a Super Bowl with a defense that gives up an average of over 430 yards per game. I like having a good laugh about Romo's reputation for melting down in the 4th quarter and in December as much as anyone else, but Romo isn't the problem there. It's the fact that the Packers scored…
