I hope you're right. He was great for us last year when he was playing for a new contract. Hope it continues

I think it will. The past two years were Nick's first opportunity to shine out right. I thought he flashed in Detroit. You could also argue that last year in NO was his first true shot (Rams are loaded up front). Donald is the future @ the 3 tech, so NF wasn't going to get a whole lot of production there. All I know is we're a better team with him than without.

As far as "will he play great as he did previously" ... I've seen nothing that would cause me to believe he'll pull a Albert Haynesworth on us.
