Saints' next opponent has league's worst run defense, and more to know about 49ers

The 40-whiners are going to get a heavy dose of Ingram-Hightower Sunday!

One week after Tim Hightower rushed 26 times for 102 yards against the Seattle Seahawks, the Saints will face a run defense that not only ranks as the worst in the league, but also has let an opposing rusher amass 100 yards or more in each of the last six games.

I wouldn't put much weight into their ****ty defense. But I would really like our team to destroy them and sack Crapernick a bunch. I really wish someone would just lay a huge hit on him and tell him that he won't need to take a knee anymore during the national anthem, because after the game he'll be in a wheelchair and he can sit instead.

No excuse not to run it down their throats. Let Drew do his thing once that defense is good and softened up. Let's not play around and let a bad team hang in. Put 'em away.

Well said, get them out of the game early and keep them on their heels.

I would love to see a game of the Saints going heavy run. If we build a lead with it get Murphy some carries as well.

FWIW Tim Hightower had 102 yards on 26 carries (longest run was 28 yards) vs Seattle - their run defense is currently ranked #3 in the NFL. Conversely the 49ers currently ranks #30 in rushing D. If Hightower/Ingram gets it going, it could be a long day for the Niners.

If there was any game on the schedule I would hope coach Payton stays "committed" to running, it would be this one.

31-17 Saints !

For the love of God no MIA sit him until he can be released next year. Hightower has earned his chance to take over first string. A one two punch of Hightower and Lasco.

I'm sure you'll see Mark on Sunday. Maybe in a different role (3rd down vs 1st) but I don't think he will sit entirely.
