I think the biggest key to beating the Saints was controlling Graham, has anybody read or heard anything talking about how we defensed him?

Especially since we have sucked out loud all year against TEs. I expected Graham to destroy us and he actually had a relatively slow day.

It looked like a standard zone to me. Everyone just played hard, except Spencer for a few plays which is understandable I guess.

I think it had to be more than a standard zone its not like Brees has not seen that before.
 
I don't think any of the film crunchers bothered to pay a lot of attention as to why, mainly because we took over the game in other ways.

If I am guessing, I am thinking that Sterling Moore and Bruce Carter played their nuts off.

Haven't paid a lot of attention to finding out why, mainly because it is not like Graham has been killing anyone this season.
 
DBs said the coaches told them if you physical these guys up they get sick of it and will start coughing the ball up

and they did

Graham had chances we just took it from him
 
I read that we used a combination of coverages and players on Graham to keep Graham and Brees uncomfortable, not knowing whether he was going to be manned up or facing zone on a given play.
