Some how, we have 8 defenders between the 2nd and 3rd layer and yet Mike Williams, Ben Obomanu, and Doug Baldwin are catching balls in open space without a defender within 10 feet of them. I mean I can understand Sidney Rice, but come on.

I was watching that game in the second half shouting outloud in my livingroom, "Wait a second, we're only rushing 3 and Tarvaris f'ing Jackson is carving us up with his arm!?!?"

It's maddening.

While it wasn't maddening to me, Beef, it was surprising. We were beaten by Williams, who is a huge beast, several times, but it was Hasselbeck at QB. I was surprised at how Jackson, who I always saw as a hack in Minny, kept making plays like that. The zone just doesn't close when it is supposed to. It is keeping those pockets open. I'm not sure if that is because of bad design or bad execution or a combination of the two, but if it continues I'm expecting the Saints to be facing a 4-4 Falcons team in week ten and exploiting the same.
