San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Not good when your safeties tackle each other. No one behind them! Bushrod terrifies me. He needs a lot of help today. I think he made the Pro Bowl but I'd heard that one strategy the Saints used a lot more in the second half of the season was to go to a lot more max protections. The irony of the Saints' offense is that their offensive line could be one of the best run-blocking lines in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Ball has hit the ground twice, niners got it both times. Biggest difference so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Did the announcers ever mention that Whitner's hit was helmet to helmet? They didn't when I was watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of the Saints' offense is that their offensive line could be one of the best run-blocking lines in the league. He did. Solely as the LT on a good line. They go in groups these days. Good running teams without a lot of sacks get 3-4 guys. Last year was Atlanta. Bushrod gets chips, from backs and TEs and you might have noticed 76 in motion to his side early (a third tackle out there on his side) Did the announcers ever mention that Whitner's hit was helmet to helmet? They didn't when I was watching. You can hit helmet to helmet unless the player is defenseless. Edited January 14, 2012 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they did. I tend to tune them out though. Wow, DaShon Goldson pick and return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Interesting. Goal to go and two straight pass plays. Make that 3 straight pass plays. Say what you want about Alex Smith… he can sling the rock. Harbaugh has worked miracles… the best job by a first-year Head Coach I've ever seen by far.

Beerball Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 How exactly do you get that much separation that quickly at the goal line? Uh oh, then you follow it up with a fumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 How exactly do you get that much separation that quickly at the goal line? Yeah they didn't really show a good replay on how Crabtree freed up so much. They were more interested in Gore's pass blocking. On the muffed kickoff you could see the return man had the sun in his eyes a bit… judging by the shadows. The no-dome field advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stop was critical. If anyone can come back, it's the Saints. The issue is the pt23 concussion took sproles off kicks. Roby hasn't caught a kick in game action in over a year. Good call. Sproles and Ivory (and Ingram) are all excellent but Thomas is a unique and underrated talent. Reminds me of Terry Allen. They put Sproles back on the return that time.
