Just finished watching the Saints offense against the Panther D. The reason i chose the Panthers D is because they play a lot of man coverage much like the Patriots do. I wanted to see how the Saints ended up breaking down the Panther D. I”m telling you it was most interesting. Tape is the door way to the future in a lot of cases, it give you insight to what to expect, for example the Saints used this 3 WR formation to dictate coverage and create a match up based on what the Panther did. a couple of wrinkles to this formation, first the saints have 3 WR to one side, so to the other side the saints put their TE Jeremy Shockey over there and last little twist the Saints keep Reggie Bush in the backfield. Well here is how the panthers lined up to that, now remember they play a lot of man, well they lined up in zone because it is very difficult to put your best cover guys all on one side to match up to the 3 WR’s and leave shockey alone with a safety or LB and who will cover Bush? Say what you want about Reggie bush he can be a game changer if he gets the ball on the perimeter and he has hurt the Panthers before. So here is what the Panther did, they played a cover two to the 3 WR and Shockey and used a safety to play Reggie man to man and rushed just 3. the result TD Saints. Watch the Match up show at 7:30 am this sunday on espn and i will show this play. this game between the Saints and Patriots could be the ultimate NFL match up of some time.
