Saints @ Vikings: HansDat's Hot Reads

Keeping this guy away from Drew Breeeeees! will be a big part of the Saints game plan today. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)

Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? (HansDat Soft Drink Prize to the first commenter who identifies the significance/connection that makes those words appropriate for this post.)

The Saints woke up in the City of Lakes today, tanned, rested, and hopefully ready to take on the Vikings in Week 15. I'm not sure if they turned into the late local news on WJM last night.

Love is all around no need to waste it, and you shouldn't waste any more time either. Make the jump to get into my Hot Reads right now!!

** We should also plan to keep it right here for all our pre-pre-game chatter. How are you feeling about things? What Saints gear are you wearing? What's your pre-game meal or gameday snack situation? Any special potent potables on the menu? **

Saints vs Vikings coverage

Saints vs Vikings preview

Star-divide

Primary Option

I can't say it enough times and I can't bold it anymore than I already am in this font, but if they cannot Protect Drew Brees, the Saints won't stand a chance.

This week, we have the hirsute Jared Allen, the NFL's 2011 sack leader (17.5), chomping at the bit to make mincemeat out of Brees with multiple sacks. He's got to do something to shift the attention off his insulting comments about the city of New Orleans, after all. The other Purple People Eating sack threats to watch out for today are Brian Robison (6) and Everson Griffen (4).

What I'd Like To See: Allen and the rest of the Vikings defense held sackless, and Brees able to handle whatever pressure they generate off the ends with quick releases, timely draw plays, and successful dump/screen passes.

-

Checkdown # 1

A crucial aspect to this game, and the Saints playoff hopes, as well, will be the ability of the team to Run With Authority.

The Saints enter the game averaging 4.8 yards per carry, 122 yards per game, and they are 9-0 when they rush for 100 or more yards. The Vikings run defense only gives up 3.7 yards per carry and 101 yards per game, so we'll have to wait and see what gives way first.

What I'd Like To See: Enough running plays to keep the Vikings defense honest throughout the game, some good short-yardage third down conversions, a couple/few runs of 15+ yards, and if the game calls for it, successfully running out the clock at the end (as opposed to what happened last week). I also want all these things to add up to 100+ yards.

-

Checkdown # 2

The defense can do their part this week by making sure they Don't Get Star Struck. In the last two games, they have really done a good job of neutralizing some big playmakers (Calvin Johnson and Chris Johnson), so I'm calling for more of the same, FTW.

What I'd Like To See: Adrian Peterson (AP2K as I like to call him), with his 1000+ rushing/receiving yards and 12 total TDs, and Percy Harvin, with his 1100+ rushing/receiving yards and 6 total TDs, kept under wraps. Allow me to put some numbers on this. AP2K needs to gain less than 80 total yards, and score no more than 1 TD. Harvin can get up to 90 yards combined, but needs to be kept out of the end zone.

-

Safety Valve

This is another road game against a seemingly hapless opponent, and the last time the Saints were in this position (St. Louis, October 30), it ended up being a loooong drive back to Louisville for me after the game, so to avoid this happening again, the Saints must Keep Their Cool in Mill City.

Some Vikings players and fans may still be carrying around resentment from the bitterest loss the team has ever experienced in the entire history of the franchise (or, as we call it, the 2009 NFC Championship Game), so energy and endorphins will be at a fevered pitch and bubbling over in the Metrodome. The Saints simply cannot allow themselves to get caught up in it.

What I'd Like To See: Good restraint, control, focus, and self-discipline that results in five or less penalties assessed against the Saints. A sense of calmness, coolness, and collectedness that allows the Saints to adapt their game plan to match whatever the Vikings are giving them without getting frustrated into forcing things if the game does not go their way early on in the action.

-

Bonus Hot Read

2-11 teams have nothing to lose, and the Vikings are a 2-11 team. Teams with nothing to lose may pull out all the stops to gain an edge against a vastly superior opponent. The Saints would be well served to Be Ready For Anything.

Let me tell you exactly what I'm talking about. It's been over a year, but I'm still trying to shake the image of Cleveland's Reggie Hodges cruising down the field with the ball while the Saints were looking up into the lights of the Superdome, trying to locate the punt he was supposed to have launched into the air.

Greg McMahon, for the most part, I'm looking right at you. I know you've got a steely glare that's bringing me to my knees, but beyond that, your boys need to be ready.

What I'd Like To See: The Saints in a heightened state of vigilance to allow them to be in a position to thwart any "roxy-roxy" plays (as my Dad calls them) by the Wikings, especially early on in the game. Plays of this sort include, but are not limited to: fake field goals, fake punts, reverses, halfback passes, and onside kick attempts.

Agree on the 2-11 teams having nothing to lose

Beware fake punts, field goals, onside kicks, reverses, deep throws, flea-flickers and any other means of trickery. Obviously, the Vikings (and their fans) still hold a grudge for us throwing a wrench in their 2009 season, and we are playing on their turf now. They don’t need any more motivation to try and hand the Saints a loss today.

running the ball will be key

when a team is 2-11, all the DL cares about is sacks- especially Jared Allen. That’s what gets you big contracts, pro bowl accolades, publicity, record book prestige, commercial endorsements, etc. They will go after Brees unless the Saints embarass them with the run.

yeah

you’ll have to ask Mr. Hans about that.

He trotted that phrase out last year, when LSU ran a fake FG in a game (the holder took the snap, banged the ball to the ground while the kicker ran around behind him, then holder lobs the ball back over his head and the kicker caught in stride and cruised for either a TD or a first down). We were talking on the phone later that night and he said, ""Hey, Hots!! did you see that roxy-roxy play LSU ran earlier on that fake FG?"

1) Hots is a childhood nickname for me. (A 3-year old kid I babysat for couldn’t say “Hans” and it came out “Hots”)
2) I have no idea if I’ve even spelled roxy-roxy correctly

I’ve been wearing this shirt for every game for many years now, to me it’s good luck. My morning breakfast is coffee, but getting ready to crack open a Bud Light long neck, that’s always my lunch when the Saints play.
I have no fear about losing today because I know we’re too far along in the season and Payton and Williams knows that this is a must win game and we should win by quite a bit. I know the Vikes will play their asses off, but they play their asses off every game and can’t win. I really don’t think we’ll run into trouble the whole game.

Just a warning

because you guys and gals have always been so good to me, the Vikings are the best 2-11 team in NFL history. They almost beat my Broncos and could have easily beaten the Lions despite being down 28 points, this team never quits so never relent. It will be fun to see the Niners play you in the Superdome, just like the good old days of Monday Night football. As always, Rita is the foxiest owner in sports and you guys look sharp with the gold pants whether you wear white or black tops

the Vikings are the best 2-11 team in NFL history.

True, they almost beat the Packers as well

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

my Mormon bishop

I thought you guys went to temple on Saturday.

Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?

by stujo4 on Dec 18, 2011 10:49 AM CST up reply actions  

actually

I go to the temple during the week (it’s closed on Sunday), we go to conventional Christian meetinghouses Sunday, but it’s Jews that have Saturday as the Holy day

Mall of America Stadium or whatever its name is. What a dump. I hope the klieg lights don’t catch the fabric roof on fire until the game is over.

I’m in a foul mood.

I have to start either Kevin Smith or Adrian Peterson in my big money FF league. I’m leaning to AP but I don’t feel like he’s going to do much today.

The Saints have been horrible in run defense for most of the season, so this is a favorable matchup for A.P.
I guess that does it.
