This is going to be a game won in the trenches.

It should be a great game. Great match up

I think the Saints O-line and D-line are underrated.

To slow down Minn's line:
Brees will need to check off to max protect and Reggie & PT will need to get some chip blocks in before their patterns (outlets). Both RB's did a great job blocking Saturday. We'll need it again.

Now while the Williams' tandem in the middle are intimidating, our interior line has tremendous size that's capable of neutralizing them. It should be a very fun battle to watch. Also... while watching the Zona game, you've got to be impressed with the push our defensive tackles got. The Vikings themselves better not overlook big Sed inc. in the middle or else it'll be a long day.

Interesting thing I read earlier about Pat Williams. The article said that opposing teams have noticed his decline in play, partly from being 37 years old and another part that he's been playing with an elbow injury. RB's have been keying in on him a lot more than normal. With our guards and center playing at the high level they are, I can see the Saints running in his direction a lot more.
