Crab Cakes and Football.

That's how they do it in Maryland. Land of purple Ravens and out of control Orioles. I am looking forward to the Saints improving there record to double last years output. There are some things we all have to address.

1. Crowd noise must be at an all-time high when Baltimore is on offense. I want McNair to think he's having a concussion everytime he walks to the line of scrimmage. Either that or I want him to hear the voices of Fujita and Grant in his head evertime he drops back to pass. The 12th man will come into play this weekend in the Dome lets keep the Boys pumped up all game.

2. Brees continues to spread the ball around. Not many mention the fact that he's a tactician with ball. He dishes it out like MRE's after Katrina. Everyone gets a touch. This also spreads the defense out and makes them continually guess whose going to get it. I like this strategy because if you keep it up for 4 quarters the defense gets tired and you get a big play.

3. Defense bends but doesn't break. I know we are 13th in the league for defense still I would love to see us stuff Jamal Lewis while pressuring the heck out of McNair. If we can keep that horrible offense sputtering than we have a chance to ring up some points. I was scared last game with the missed tackles in the secondary. Especially on the Reggie Brown long touchdown run at the beginning of the 3rd Quarter. Hopefully Payton has corrected that and got his team back to fundamentals. Being in the right spot to make a play. That's all it is.

4. Duece and Reggie doing there thing. My bye week was spent praying to the patron saint of injuries for Duece's hamstring. Boy do we need him in the lineup. Without him running the ball teams just know we are going to pass. Reggie is doing a great job of creating havoc for defenses, but it's the combo of Duece and Reggie that makes us the most potent team in the league.

5. Gotta keep the faith. No doubting that this team is just starting to gel together. It makes me wonder what type of team will I be seeing towards the end of the year. Here's to seeing us on Sunday night against the Bengals, and to going 6-1!!! Go Saints!!!
