An Outside Perspective On Cardinals-Saints

Here is what the Bears Blog Blitz is writing about this week's game:
This promises to become another shoot-out, but this time, Drew Brees ought to be scattering the ball around to the likes of Marques Colston, Robert Meacham, Reggie Bush and even Jeremy Shockey.
For most of the season, the Saints showed that they indeed have a defense and, second, that both of their lines aren’t afraid to bust people in the mouth. That’s good, because the Packers' defense was ranked even better, and Kurt Warner and Co. shredded them like good Wisconsin cheddar.
There’s something about Arizona, and it begins with Ken Whisenhunt and his Steelers roots. Yes, this team can certainly throw it with the best of them. But during the second half of the season, with the emergence of Beanie Wells, they also began to establish a ground game. Not THE ground game, but A ground game. Something to actually complement the prolific passing game and create symbiosis between the two rather than a mutually exclusive, one-or-the-other stasis.
The Bears could learn something from that and Cutler has the opportunity – with the right supporting cast – to become Warner-esque with the tools and speed surrounding him. Bears fans ought to get behind the Cardinals, for no other reason than they used to both play in Chicago. Somewhere deep within that Phoenix DNA lays a bratwurst and Italian beef-laden chromosome. Whisenhunt is a guy who not only appreciates that; he wants to evolve a team (like the Steelers) where it’s predominant.
