We need Ellerbe in a bad way.

Our LB's are probably the weakest link over the last several games. We really need for them to get them healthy to have a chance to beat the Panthers.

If we lose this game Cam has a winning record against Brees.

If I was DC I would play an extra DB all game in man coverage on Olsen. He's their biggest weapon. Don't think we have a fast enough LB to cover him.

I agree. Big nickel or big dime all game long. Ellerbe is a speed upgrade over anyone else at weak side and we need that with Cam and Olsen. Not having those guys on the o-line scares the hell out of me.

I want to win this one. This is our bowl to knock them off their shaky perch. Worst undefeated team I can ever remember.

This would be a good week to get Ellerbe's monthly game in :rolleyes:.

The offense line worries me more than anything. We already know our defense will give up points on every posession, we really need our offense to click if we are even going to have a prayer to win this game.

Our defense played better last week, it's not the defense's fault the saints offense can't score 20 points.
