Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
 

Should be an interesting game with Suh and Fairly trying to get pressure against our C and gaurds, if we get man-handled up the middle it's going to be a very long day. I don't put much faith in our D from what I have seen but the Lions seem to self destruct from time to time on the O, if they don't it will be a long day also. We've had an extra week to prepare for them, it's our 6th game, time to put up or shut up. I will be watching this 1 close!!

since this thread is about the line, I'll go ahead and say to pay closer attention to the line, not the injury report, to figure out if CJ is playing.

when it goes off as a pick game, you know he's out

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
 

great... got CJ in my FFL... oh well it's been a crap season anyway.

I really want to see SJB get some playing time. I think we have a diamond in our back pocket but are afraid to take it out. Time will tell, but I hope we don't sit on him for too long.

Is White and Robinson really doing a good enough job to hold him off... Can't be. Dixon is nice, but he is more of a slot guy IMO, whereas SJB is a edge CB and would get beat in the slot too often.

Edit: since I am ranting ill add this...

Where the hell is Powell? This guy might be the best athlete we have on D yet #91 gets playing time over him... what has #91 done to deserve it?

I want these guys on the field... Payton make it happen!!! lol

Just win!

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
 

I am starting to think some of the injuries have something to do with Payton not allowing a player to play nicked up. I see other teams with a roster full of hurt players trotting back out every game. On our team you stub a toe or get a hangnail your out a month.

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
 

I would be nice to see us hungry for a change... and sustain it through a whole game.

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
 

Doesn't stay healthy in DET either, was out vs the Vikes ... Bell/Collins do his heavy lifting for him anyway, :). Bush'll wind up being the best RB for the Lions since Barry Sanders, if he isn't already.

I'm going with Lions 16 - Saints 9 for this one, ;) ... lots of field goal action going on, :lol:.

Hope it's "mind-games", Stafford is a wreck without Calvin, :rolleyes:.

Caldwell is probably still reeling from "Ambush"! Might we see a replay?
