Saints QBs prepared for frozen tundra by going in freezer

The Saints are playing at Lambeau Field on Monday night. The temperatures won't be brutal, but it'll still be technically freezing.

The Saints have prepared for the experience by freezing themselves.

Quarterback Spencer Rattler, who'll start the game, told reporters that the quarterbacks went to the team's walk-in freezer on Sunday to run through plays

"This morning, [quarterbacks coach Andrew] Janocko took us in the cafeteria freezer, where it was like 10 degrees, and we're just going through the whole script in there, and so just doing that, that helped a lot," Rattler said, via Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. "So hopefully it's not 10 degrees, but we'll be ready."

It's supposed to be closer to 32 than 10. But, still, it will be cold.

Terrell explains that Janocko got the idea from the movie Cool Runnings, in which a member of the Jamaican bobsled team sits in an ice cream truck to prepare for the cold.

"I think there's something we said about just preparing for [the cold], so you're not shocked and it's not something surprising," Janocko said. "It's something that you deal with as far as you prepare for the opponent and prepare for the venue. So I just thought it was good to do something a little different. At this time of the year, it's fun to do different stuff. It's a long season and sometimes other than just sitting in a meeting day after day after day, just doing something different, changing up the scene. Guys thought it was hilarious. The cafeteria workers think I'm out of my mind."

There's a fine line between brilliance and insanity. If Rattler is even slightly more ready to roll than he would have been, it's worth it.
