by Adam T on Jan 19, 2007 7:59 AM CST in News

Seems odd that a team everybody has been saying is so weak in the secondary is ranked #1 in passing defense.

Their secondary...

They are hardly weak, but they are really suspectible at giving up the big play due to playing man to man coverage all game long. Berrian is faster than any defensive back the Saints employ and I think if Grossman gets into a groove they will hook up a few times to burn that man coverage.

The Saints also turn the ball over quite a bit...this will hurt against a team like the Bears who has shown they can capitalize off turnovers.

I think it will be a good game and I am definately nervous as shit.

Does this mean...

... we really will miss Bradley, in spite of his status as merely #4 (or #3 at best)?

Hmm maybe...

But Berrian can go deep...and I liked how well Davis stepped up last weekend so he could fill in nicely for Bradley.

Turnovers

We actually don't turn it over that much, we just don't take it away very much at all. We were 5th or 6th best in the NFL in giveaways. ESPN's stats page has the breakdowns, though it seems like you can only sort by conference.

wow

I leave for a couple days and the activity really picks up. It's a good thing the game is tommorrow. The Cubs fan convention distracted me for awhile, but now I'm back home and I'm antsy

first the Rush...now the Bears.
