Saints' Lelito expected to start at center against Cowboys
 

"Time to step up, time to play," Lelito said Monday. "I prepare every week like I might start in case anything happens throughout the week. There's never any time in the NFL where you can say, 'Well, I'm a backup, so I really don't have to prepare at all. That's how it goes.

"Y'all know coach (Sean Payton's) motto: Failure to prepare is preparing to fail."

Lelito, a former undrafted free agent, has spent most of the first three weeks serving as a backup guard-center. Now it's his turn to play on offense.

Goodwin with a high ankle sprain could be out for awhile, that injury has a tendency to linger...

I didn't think Lelito looked too bad after he came in. Hopefully, he'll keep up the good work until Goodwin is able to fully recover.

If things go well Goodwin might not get another snap at center.
