This weekend, which unit has the advantage, both physically and tactically: the Giants defense or the Saints offense?

While I almost always go with the strong defense, this Saints team seems to have something special brewing and they will have a raucous home crowd behind them. The Giants also have had to deal with some injuries to that talented defense so far this season, so it will be up to Sean Payton and his players to take advantage of that. I still think the Giants are too good to lose this one though.

Who are the game's best offensive minds?

(in no particular order) Dan Henning, Tom Moore/Peyton Manning, Josh McDaniels, Sean Payton, Andy Reid, Todd Haley

There's already talk of a coaching change in Washington. Can an in-season coaching change really help?

Troy Aikman brings up an interesting point on NFL on FOX. check this quote:
"Typically, the interim coach is always hired from the existing staff, so why should anyone think he's the solution when undoubtedly he has been part of the problem up to that point in the year"
I totally agree with that sentiment. Major changes like that should be done in the offseason, if possible...especially if you dont have a better option.

What's your perspective on the controversial and very subjective rules/calls protecting QBs today? Do you think the integrity of the game is being threatened?

Here's the deal, people need to realize that the NFL is going to do what they can to protect their investments. Do I personally think they are even the least bit overprotected? Of course, but that's not the issue for me. It's the consistentcy in which officials call penalties overall. If the league's competition committee doesnt remove subjectivity from some, if not all of the calls then the sport could start to suffer down the road.

If you were playing, how would you feel about losing 6-8 snaps a game to a wildcat offense?

First of all, if I were a NFL QB, I would probably be used in the wildcat but I digress. I have to comment on something else Troy Aikman said. While he's never been a big believer of the wildcat, I bet if it was helping him win he would be one of the biggest supporters of it. What people dont realize is that while the wildcat might not be the complete base offense of any team (even the Dolphins), it is a big part of they do regardless of how it came to be or why the Dolphins actually use it. I dont believe it's a "gimmick" if you practice it as regularly as you everything else. It's their identity, not something they pull out of the closet every 4 years or something like that.
