Talib is certainly beginning to prove himself as a premier shutdown corner, but so far this season the pats secondary has been having serious problems against #2 receivers. What do you think about the defense’s ability to cover another superhero tight end in Graham while also dealing with the likes of Colston on the outside?

Someone’s been reading Football Outsiders, eh? 

Honestly, just fake game planning for the Saints offense in my head gives me the shakes. Part of me wonders if you throw all the matchups out the window and just focus on playing good D regardless of who goes where. Of course the scary thing there is when suddenly Jimmy Graham is on Arrington or Dennard. At least both of them are physical despite having a size disadvantage. 

The thing I wonder is will the Saints be tempted to attack the Pats’ weakness at defensive tackle with their running game at the expense (somewhat) of their passing attack?
