Attached Thumbnails · 08-15-2012, 07:26 PM

With a split of their first two exhibition games in the books, the Saints will open their 2012 Mercedes-Benz Superdome slate Friday when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Friday’s game against the Jaguars will be New Orleans’ first preseason meeting with the Jaguars since they came into the NFL as an expansion franchise in 1995. The two teams last met in the regular season on Sunday, October 2, 2011 at Jacksonville’s EverBank Field. The Saints won that contest 23-10 and advanced to 3-1 for the season. The teams have played five times in the regular season and New Orleans leads the series 3-2.

I hope our offense comes to play, I'd like to see the starters get started quick!

I am really excited to see this new defense in person. Really want to see something there.

Offense, tonight, my expectations are realistic. This game doesn't count. I'm not gonna freak out if they look "off." I figure Drew is gonna be all tired and sleepless from his wife just having a baby, even though it's his third it's always stressful and he's only human; I'm sure it will be hard to tear him away from the crib long enough to get him down to the Dome and strap him into his uniform for three hours. But on the other hand maybe he will be so PSYCHED about it, that he puts up some kind of crazy record-breaking preseason performance, passing for 350 yards and 4 TDs in a single half, because his life this past few months has been so awesome. Maybe they will run it a lot so he can take it easy. Who knows.
