Hightower didn't practice on Wednesday (not a good sign for him playing).

For those that say "we'll be torched" ... I disagree. NE can be had in the dome. Saints film study, preparation & communication on defense will be paramount. I think AP will be more involved in the offense for game 2 ... same goes for MIngram.

Create turnovers (strips, force fumbles, knocking the ball out, blocked punts). We are long over due on getting a INT.

Saints 27-21.

Thats great optimistic but I have 99% no faith in Dennis Allen. I believe he go in with a plan but not able to adjust when plan break down. Minnesota plan was to keep 3rd down short and strike with crossing routes nor P.J or Harris could defend. Simple adjustment would've been to use lb to slow them down on crossing or go one deep safety go double coverage underneath with ML in man. I can understand they went Harris over Crawley because he is a better open field tackler but Crawley is a better cover corner which what they needed and Moore is a better overall corner than Harris which make me go back and ask why Harris over Moore? If Harris is chosen again over Crawley & Moore I will have absolutely no faith in Dennis Allen
