METAIRIE, La. – One week ago, the Saints figured out how to slow down Houston’s vaunted rushing attack, keeping Ben Tate to fewer than 100 yards for the game on the ground.

The task could be much tougher Sunday when New Orleans (2-1) travels to play Jacksonville (1-2), which will throw a rookie quarterback onto the field making his second start.

Partly because of rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert, the Jaguars have focused on the run game this season. And in spite of the fact that teams know that Jacksonville will run the ball – the Jaguars lead the NFL with 108 rush attempts this season – it’s sixth in the NFL with 403 rushing yards.

And leading the way is Maurice Jones-Drew, who is third in the NFL with 307 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

“He’s probably the hardest guy to bring down in the league at any position,” Saints linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. “He has tremendous balance. He has a good burst. He knows how to set up his blockers up well. He’s an elite running back in this league.”
