Marques Douglas RDE has been a force this year. He will be teamed up with Aubrayo Franklin against Nesbit and Goodwin. Look for the 49ers to try to explote this match up. Brown will have his hands full with Tully Banta-Cain and Patrick Willis. I see the 49ers trying to open up the middle of the line and blitzing one of their ILB. Look for them stunt Douglas alot and try to push to the left and bunch the OL so the ILB can Blitz up the gut. Bryant Young will give Stinchcomb fits today. Any blitz from the outside should be to help open the middle. Douglas is the man on the inside to watch.

I look for the saints to counter this move with Eric Johnson. Bush or the slot will clear out the remaining LB and S. Johnson should be open on the drag route all day. Quick screens and traps will do well against this also.

On defense the saints should get another 4+ sack game today. Even with Smith back. He will be rusty. He might get knocked out of the game. Darrell Jackson should play and he will get his yardage but you can bank he will drop 2 to 3 passes too. He always has and always will. He might drop another TD pass or two. History is in our favor here. As for the others I really do not see a problem there. Arnaz Battle is a wildcard. He is hot and cold. As for Vernon Davis who knows. As for the other WR Gilmore and Lee they have lost on the roster all year and have not done much.

This is a game we can win but the loss of Faine is not good.
