Do we have an OFFICIAL Cards vs. NO Thread?

[mission]

6 days rest playing anybody is tough let alone the Saints off a bye...

[australianpackerbacker]

makes me feel good to see kurt and arizona getting their asses physically kicked, takes some of the pain away of last week! haha im a pretty shallow person arent i!

[BallHawk]

Gotta protect Brees.

Star coverage. Sharper on the replay gets to Fitzgerald AFTER (I am pretty sure) he has lost control of the ball, hits him and gets credit for great timing and a great hit. He was where he was supposed to be, but Fitz lost the ball.

Well, we are younger... I think we would of passed better TBH. We have all our weapons, and we seem to be able to score on anyone all year.

Also, remember the ways the cards have been all year. Their offense either looks all world or like crap. Today, it looked like crap.

the Secondary of NO looks so much better and so much deeper with their FA acquisitions in the defensive backfield.

A pass rush makes all DBs look better.

Memo to wist:

Gregg Williams, he of the Jeff Fisher ties, he of the 4-3 mutiple blitzing front and heir to the Buddy Ryan 46/Bear defense coaching tree, blitzed much more than Capers. He did not however, invent a way to press cover the slot receiver or press all three wides in the bunch alignment. There were a lot of free releases for a fellow student of the 46.

I did see him have much more effective double coverage of the underneath receivers. If there was a lane to complete the pass, that guy went down right away. The inability of the Packer secondary to matchup zone assignments and provide close coverage would seem to be Capers biggest coaching challenge. My fear is the Patler theorem, that McCarthy's hiring is unreliable and Joe Whitt Jr. isn't getting it done with the CBs.

The Packers also need another pass rusher. Whether it will be Jones/Kampman or another OLB, Raji or some other unknown D lineman, they need someone else who can get home.

and competent players in the secondary will give the DL time to get there as well.

Our pass rush was disappointing
the secondary was as good as they are

But what if the biggest breakdowns came in linebacker coverage of the Cardinals? Most of the time Warner faced pressure, he went short to medium. The Packer linebackers were often no help and just chasing. Against NO, those linebackers short were not exactly intercepting the ball, but they were in a position to tackle.

I don't think the coverage issue is just the DBs.

If you are going to blame Joe Whitt Jr, you should consider the talent he was left with against a deep receiving team. Josh Bell, Bush, Martin..even when healthy, Bigby, the Italian Stallion....if you are analyzing why the secondary was going to hurt against a strong passing team I'd be inclined to look at the personnell dept before going after Whitt

I'd agree; there were some isolated plays where the LB's just blew coverage.
But I'd point a lot more to the secondary (and lack of pass rush) than the LB's in coverage.
