D-line has tremendous depth. Corner depth only goes about 3 deep before I start wondering if someone will get burned, but there are 4 safeties I feel comfortable with... so 7 DBs can hit the field without making me nervous*. That's pretty deep in my opinion.

*Or at least without making me more nervous than Harper makes me by himself.

Linebackers, hands down. Linebackers are barely serviceable outside of Vilma. It's essentially him and a collection of situational roleplayers masquerading as starters and backups.

Actually they are pretty deep at corner. Greer is very underrated and porter and Robinson are capable starters. They give up alot of passing yards bc they play in alot of blowout games so they give up junk yards at the end of games.

YESSSSS!!!!! I finally beat the Saints on Madden (on All Madden)

K, here's what I did offensively.

I tried to chew up as much time as possible, and there's really only one way to do that with the 49ers offense. So I ran with big dose of Gore and 1st and 2nd downs. As long as I was able to keep an average of 4.0 yds per carry with Gore, I was able to convert "3rd and short" downs because the ENTIRE playbook just opens up, there are short yardage plays for every weapon Alex has on 3rd and short. This took so much time off the clock, and kept Brees on the sidelines. If you try to score quick, the computer will play shootout with you and Brees will turn beast mode.

K, here's what I did defensively.

I used Andy Lee to boom punts and pin the Saints as deep as possible. Andy Lee is a beast on Madden and in real life!

This gave the Saints a loooooong field to work with, while I kept pressing the left analog stick down to make the CROWD GET LOUD, and the defense pumped up, and Brees ended up throwing 2 INTs, and a sack fumble (off a bowman blitz). And those turnovers were enough to win the game!


Niners 24 - Saints 17

So your saying your run d is inflated

let the best team win....

mmmm this game on a 100" screen

How is cam jordan doing? I thought he was going to go higher in the draft, I'm a cal fan

Our d in general has a whole lot of junk yards. Saints will get up by 2-3 scores and Gregg Williams starts playing "one takeaway ends it." He takes chances and gives up a whole lot of yards in the process. When he actually guesses right, the Saints get a turnover and the game is essentially over.

Got his first sack in the last game of the season, if I recall correctly. He's been getting some pressure, but he hasn't really taken it to the next gear as often as I'd like.

Wow, Collinsworth, Simms, and Sapp are all picking us to win Saturday.

-These guys have been pretty sharp all season on our win/loss ratio.

So that means you can only win if you get turnovers

we will be underdogs in every game if we keep going forward

No, it means if we get turnovers it'll probably be at the end and seal the deal. Saints won without a single turnover in Week 9 against Bucs and Week 14 against the Titans at least this season. Maybe more.

The saints are capable of stopping the run with Rodgers, Franklin and Ellis. Harper does a good job of sneaking into the box and helping out in the run. They've played some good run teams giants, atl, Tennessee, Houston and Carolina. But yeah there was some where the saints jumped in teams and they had to abandon the run. The 2 players on SF O that concerns me are gore and v Davis.
