Dwight Freeney will play in the Super Bowl

Saintswrath · 02-06-2010, 02:22 PM

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Dwight Freeney will play in the Super Bowl barring any setbacks in pregame warm-ups.
Freeney will test the ankle before the game for the first time in two weeks. It seems likely that he'll suit up, but the Colts' best pass rusher will be limited to a third-down role in obvious passing situations. Reliable veteran Raheem Brock will play the majority of the snaps.

That just means he will be playing in pain and not 100% and we should really be happy about that.

Remember some dude named DeMarcus Ware and what happened? I would not get my hopes up. We've got fooled once. Twice? NOT GONNA HAPPEN!! Freeney or no Freeney. The Saints gotta be ready for whosonever, whatsonever and whatever.

We don't get fooled again.

I don't think this is really news. We all knew that he was going to play. We're ready.

I don't think S. Payton or Gregg Williams Took that bait, i think they are also baiting Colts..
This has been a long week guys, i feel like these last 2 weeks have been the longest 2 weeks of my LIFE!. i swear! Probably due to lack of sleep.

I liked the analysis I saw yesterday. Simply put run right at him and see how he reacts.

The Saints really didn't expect Ware to play. They were saying on Monday and Tuesday that they expected to see Freeney and I'm sure that they game planned for each of the following scenarios: Freeney, Brock, Mathis over Bushrod.
