He may have to go a couple plays in a row, but he should be fine with that. Horne's replacement, Darrius Blevins, is averaging 19.2 yards, with a long return of 26 yards. Martz also expects the Saints to do some things the Rams haven't seen. New Orleans returned to practice Tuesday, while Martz gave players their second straight day off. You try to get one leg up in some respects by having something a little bit different, whether it's formations and a different run or two, or a pass play.
Defense is another story.
Martz believes teams are better off going with their best, and not over-adjusting. You can change it somewhat, but my experience this year is the people who have changed for us defensively eventually go right back to what they do normally. I think it's a little easier to do what you do and adjust to it and just to rally to the ball as opposed to doing something dramatically different. A case in point was the Saints' defense on Sunday. Martz said it was about the same, with New Orleans playing two deep safeties most of the game, except for some increased pressure.
