    The Saints like to use a lot of cover 3 with Marshon Lattimore taking the best WR 1 on 1...They use the deep Safeties to help double any route the main WR runs .. The Safety opposite the #1 target will cheat towards the hash and try and take away slants and crossing routes...He will also fade off those routes and help deep middle a lot ...

    This is why DHB should be used from 4 and 5 WR sets ..He needs to play Wide opposite of AB to keep the Safety pinned to the sideline and off the hash ...From what I can see their entire coverage is dependent on the backside Safety cheating and helping in the middle...The speed of DHB will do that or force the CB to play deeper ...

    Either way it would allow our guys more space in those windows..It doesn't really matter if he catches a ball it's the space his speed will create that is needed...

    One last advantage will be on YAC ...DHB has the speed to reach a block another WR might not be able to make ..This may help break a big play ...

    They should have been using him all season and nothing. Don't get your hopes up.

    It seems we went all out last week and we ran a lot more 5 WR sets ...The backside WR was 1 on 1 a bunch so maybe they see that tape and they see the Saints tape and put 1 and 1 together ...

    As I stated I don't care if he catches a single ball , I just want us to have the best chance to win and IMO his speed could be a huge boost to the guys around him..

    Honestly, it's what they have been missing all year. A deep threat to take double teams off AB and now Juju. It was so bad teams were doubling AB and Juju. Washington showed up last week but I still don't see him as the deep threat they thought. With his size, I think he'd be better in a role like Jujus.

    What we need today, is for Eli, Switz, and JW to step up. If all 3 of those guys can produce the Steelers are going to be a tough team to cover .

    Defenses have to respect speed , and on turf I am sure DHB will be 1 of the fastest players on the field ....None of their DB'S can keep up with him which will force CB'S to play off and the Safety to stay at home ...

    All those slot Type WR'S and TE'S play right into what the Saints want to do on Defense ....If DHB doesn't play a lot on O today our O will do very little , if he plays Ju Ju and AB might get 150 each ...Both will get over a 100 for sure ..

    Unless he is having a conversation with himself.

    It would really worry me if there really were two posters sharing this delusion.

    PWP has been spewing this nonsense for a couple years. You should have seen how miserably he failed with his Redman hype threads.
    Just the same old recycled nonsense. Also DHB should be converted to a Safety.

    I not wanting to search at themoment , but most of Ben's big games have come with DHB getting a lot of snaps ..All the Teams who have went off on the Saints have a Burner at the WR spot..Speed creating space is not non sense ..It is simple math...

    DHB is an never been never was a good special team player and that is it. AB - Juju - Vance - Switzer- Washington they are our pass catchers. DHB can worry about the water bottles.
