While being built to take on the big boys of the league like Calvin, Fitzgerald, etc. the LOB has shown a propensity for letting the speedy/shifty type #2 or #3 receiver post career days against them, albeit only on the road so far. Even though this game is in the CLINK, WR Kenny Stills worries me a bit. He seems similar to Young and Hilton physically and like Hill and Young he's got a damn good QB throwing the ball. Even a slow footed Davone Bess had a day against the LOB last year.
Shifty/Speedy WRs who have had big games against us:
Davone Bess 5' 10'' 190lbs 4.54 forty: career day against Seahawks 7/129 (Seahawks lost 24-21)
Titus Young 5' 11'' 175lbs 4.39 forty: career day against Seahawks 9/100 with 2 TDs (Seahawks lost 28-24)
TY Hilton 5' 10'' 180lbs 4.34 forty: career day against Seahawks 5/140 2 TDS (Seahawks lost 34-28)
Kenny Stills 6' 190lbs 4.32 forty: TBD
Like most of the twelves, I am more confident in this team to win a big game than any other Seahawks team from the past. But, the WTIII suspension may leave us a bit more susceptible to that one match-up that has caused problems recently; the speedy guy who gets behind the coverage. The front four will have to keep the pressure on Brees full blast, all night! The linebackers will be busy enough with Thomas and Sproles coming out of the backfield and that Graham guy dragging the two route. Earl and Kam must bring their A game...but they almost always do so we should be good. It will be interesting to see Kam and Graham meet at the ball!
Any .netters see a potential problem with Stills this week? Saint fans, what is your take on Stills so far?
