Michael Thomas threw his right arm up before the ball arrived.

He knew. The Saints knew. The play was going to score a touchdown. New Orleans saw how the Atlanta Falcons defended against the look during the first meeting between these teams and designed a wrinkle to take advantage of the coverage during the second game.

Thomas knew it spelled trouble when he drew double coverage on a fade route, leaving Ted Ginn Jr. on single coverage in the middle of the field., just like he did in the first game

He was right. The familiarity between the two teams resulted in a 54-yard touchdown. All New Orleans had to do was have Ginn break his route vertically during the rematch instead of something in-breaking and horizontal. Atlanta fell into the trap.

It just as easily could have gone the other way,Authentic Cam Newton Jersey, while at the same time doing what got you here.,Authentic Luke Kuechly Jersey, with New Orleans ending up on the wrong end. But these are the traps that sometimes exist when teams from the same division play each other multiple times during a season. You have to find ways to protect against the pitfalls and find ways to be different

“In these games,Authentic Mitchell Trubiskyn Jersey, there’s always wrinkles on both sides that you try to prepare for,Authentic Walter Payton Jersey, or at least have the ability to make adjustments on the run when you need to,” quarterback Drew Brees said. He added: "For us,Womens Jordan Howard Jersey, it's do what we do, do it very well, execute to perfection and make the plays when you have the opportunities."

Finding the balance between those two extremes is going to be the juggling act the Saints and Carolina Panthers are going to have to figure out heading into this week’s playoff game, which will be the third meeting between these teams this season.

Neither team is going to rewrite their playbook or come out with an exotic and unrecognizable scheme. At this point, but New Orleans wants to find ways to present those things differently., everyone has their bread and butter and a handful of staples

It would be essential anyway, but the stakes will be a little bit higher with Luke Kuechly patrolling the middle of Carolina's defense.

“He’s one of the smartest football players I’ve seen, been around, had the chance to go up against,” Brees said.

Kuechly plays the “cat-and-mouse” game with quarterbacks, where he’ll go back and forth making adjustments and calling out plays, as well as anyone. Coach Sean Payton knows this after going up against the linebacker several times over the years, and it’s why he feels he must take measures this week to make things look different this week.

He and the New Orleans coaching staff have been doing some self-scouting this week. When they notice a tendency or something stands out, they know that Kuechly is seeing the same things and is taking notes. That's why the team is trying to find ways to repackage plays in a different exterior.

“You have to have plays that begin looking like something you’ve done and that are something different,” Payton said. “In other words, if you line up in a similar formation two or three times — even in the game — he’s that in tune and he’s such a good communicator to (linebackers Thomas) Davis and Shaq (Thompson). He’ll yawn at some of your formations if you don’t create some disguise,Womens Cam Newton Jersey, backfield depth. Every iota of your formation has to be looked at clearly so he’s not leaning one direction or another.”

The familiarity with an opponent can be useful.

New Orleans knows Carolina’s personnel. It knows the things the Panthers like to do and won’t be surprised by much. For instance,Womens Luke Kuechly Jersey, which is when a defensive line builds a wall and tries to bully its way to the quarterback instead of trying to speed around the edges.,Womens Mitchell Trubiskyn Jersey, the Saints already know how to keep Cam Newton contained to the pocket by crush rushing

But at the same time,Authentic Jordan Howard Jersey, like how the Saints caught Atlanta earlier this year. That’s why New Orleans will be keeping an eye on what the Panthers have been doing lately and see what’s been trending for them and what has been falling out of favor., there are situations where that familiarity can be used against a team

In the end, it's all about playing the percentages, and there will be times when a defense gets caught looking for something that isn't coming, but all they can do is hope to get more right than wrong.

“You kind of have to play both sides of the fence,Womens Walter Payton Jersey, they’ve been doing some different things that we’re going to have to go out there and stop on Sunday.”,” defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins said. “Things they did against us they’re going to try to come back and try to do them again. But at the same time

The Panthers could be keeping their plans mum, he’s probably right. Only so much can or should change in a short period. A team has to keep doing the things it does well., but it doesn’t sound like Panthers coach Ron Rivera is expecting a much different game this week. And to a certain degree

His team spent the whole season forming an identity, and it would be foolish to veer too far from it now. Just like he largely expects New Orleans to do a lot of the same things it has done throughout the season.

“You got to do what you do. They’ll do what they do,” Rivera said. “There may be a wrinkle or two. For the most part, they’re going to do what they do. Go out there, understand what you didn’t, understand what you had success with, and make your adjustments from there.”

He might be right. But the Saints aren’t going to show their hand early. They’ll be trying to find ways to get Thomas to put his other one in the air.
