Re: Saints close to getting injured defensive players*back

I expect to see some "growing pains" from Rankins however if you circle back to some of Coach Payton's recent sound bytes, this young guy already fits the bill and is a Pro's Pro & should make a pretty early impact.
The only other young player SP talked in that manner was Michael Thomas & we all see how he is turning out. If I recall correctly, prior to the injury Rankins started off on the 2nd team defense & leap frogged ahead of big boy Fairley & named starter (3 tech).
Look at this line up on paper ...
Kruger, Jordan, Fairley and Rankins. I'll be watching the trenches closely on Sunday  .
