Marlboro Man

Your Lions have made some very good personel moves the last few years. Personally I hate your owners and hope they never see a championship while they own the team so here's hoping they sell soon.

In our first meeting we were still jelling on the O &D-Lines. We've faced great D-Linemen for a long time, Julius Peppers, Jared Allen, John Abraham just to name a few and I don't think Shu will give us that much trouble, and if he does, we'll just alter our drops and passes and mix in some runs to slow things down. We didn't have Ivory playing the first time around either and he's better than Ingram, also, if I'm not mistaken we didn't have Colston either and we'll have both this time around.

Defensively, we've gotten better at stopping the run and tackling in general. We've also begun to get some signifigant snaps from Dunbar, Martez Wilson, Isa Abdul Quddus, Johnny Patrick, and even Patrick Robinson has picked up his play over the last 4 games so I think our coverage will be even better than the last time we played. Malcolm Jenkins has been out a while and will be rested and ready to get after it so it'll be pretty much all hands on deck.

Not saying you don't have a good team but the Saints are on a mission and I don't believe they're going to let anyone stand in their way.
