Rest should rejuvenate Saints

By Matt Williamson
Scouts Inc.

After watching the wild-card games, Scouts Inc. shares eight observations about the divisional playoff teams:

1. Rest should help Saints: We can argue back and forth about the pros and cons of resting players, but in this case, I think it will benefit the Saints. New Orleans really wasn't playing very well, but then rested its core guys in Week 17, including Drew Brees.

Taking a step back should be good for this franchise, as it has been a whirlwind season and this isn't exactly an organization that has historically dealt with success. But even more important than that, with last year's NFC champions coming to town, the Saints need to be fresh on defense -- especially in their secondary, which was tormented by injuries in the second half of the regular season.

I was just on NOLA.com and watched an interview with Lance Moore. It sounded as if he was going to play no matter what.

Bring 'em back. The Saints best receiver from last year returning to the best offense in the league spells disaster for an average defense.

We had been looking flat footed for a couple of weeks. The rest should do us some good. I feel good about our chances with the original team back together.
