IDK, but SR hasn't been on the field at all through 7 games and we have not played the Patriots this season, so I know which rookie hasn't done it.

Seriously? That was in training camp. In practice, during a drill. The teams weren't even fully lined up against each other.

WillMack,

I think Spkb25 has made his point. Have you seen that Saints defense first half? And yes, Rankins and Breaux are both playing today.

Held their opponents to 23 points at their home with the opponents pulling everything they had in their bag of tricks.

D front line struggled, not much pressure, missed assignments etc. Those 4 or so turnovers were outstanding but allowing long gains is not a winning formula long term. Hopefully Rankins is shaking off the rust but this defense has a lot of work to do. At the end of the day, we won.

On to Denver...

Bag of tricks? You mean throwing a swing pass for an untouched 60 something yard touchdown? Or a sideline pass to a TIGHT END for another 60 something yard touchdown? Or another 20 something passes thrown over the middle of the field with no defender in sight?

From the worst offense in the league?

Yeah, you're right. They were at home. Those roaring crickets in the stands definitely made all the difference. Our defense was awful today. Please don't waste anyone's time by trying to pull yet more excuses out of the garbage can.

I'm just saying, a projected starter goes down, you plug in Onyemata and Jenkins, it's not the same line. And all the hoopla about the offensive line is legit in the preseason but Rankins's play is not?

Just my two cents

This defensive effort is not going to get it done against the Broncos...

Team worked hard to get to .500, but if the defense and especially the kicking game play like they did against the Broncs - it's gonna be a long day...
