BarStool Breakdown- Andy
What’s up everyone! We are mere hours away from the highly anticipated Super Bowl of Trent and the RedZone vs Pie Guy. Here’s 3 things for each team I think can help them bring the Lombardi home.
Saints
Stay composed through the punches.
The Ravens are going to score. The main thing is not letting them score more because of offensive frustration which leads to bad decisions. You have to be able to live with a punt or two and not get too greedy too early. Don’t put your back on the wall when it’s not even the 4th quarter
Let AK go cray-cray
Tomato me all you want it’s catchy. Kamara has been the backbone to this team whether it’s passing or rushing. Trent has done a great job building the offense around him. Don’t let one or two bottled up runs shy you away from the guy who got you this far.
Stay prepared as the second man defensively
We know the PieGuy way. It’s super important for Trent to stay aware if he’s the second man coming to tackle. I think if he can help it, that’s his best bet. Let PieGuy take whatever angle around the CPU and then attack it. Trent taking himself out as a left sticked first tackler may spell trouble with the speed PieGuy moves. I’d be more worried about his second cut than his first one at all times
Ravens
You thought I was giving you free scout on Trent? Tuh.
Don’t go for the kill shot too early.
This Saints team has put up points this playoff season. It’s not an offense you can let capitalize on being greedy. Control the game with clock because too much clock for this Saints team could spell trouble
Don’t be too aggressive on defense
This Saints team has arguably the most valuable running back in the league in terms of team success that can also beat you in the passing game. Him surrounded by Boyd, Aiyuk, and Olave can tear you up if you blitz too often because Deshaun is very capable of timing routes and getting the ball out fast.
Play loose
There have been many complaints about gameplay, not saying their unwarranted but there have been. You may not find yourself in this game too many times so the last thing you want to do is let outside noise stop you from a daddyleagues banner even if astin puts a big ol asterisk on it.
