New Orleans vs MN
Starting to think New Orleans rolls in this game.
The O Line which I have felt is overrated for awhile seems to be a mess. Last years starting center Sullivan hasn't practiced much or even played a game as of yet because of a calf strain. This has them thinking of sliding Herrara over to center (which he has limited experience if any at this position) and sliding a rookie into the RG position. Given the O Line last year struggled to keep Favre upright in the NFC Championship game have zero confidence in this patchwork line. Only advantage I see is possibly in the run game as this would be a big O Line.
Switch over to the defense and the secondary is a mess. Projected starting rookie CB Chris Cook has a torn minescus, Cedric Griffin is still recovering from torn ACL, Benny Sapp was traded to Miami for Camarillo and this leaves Asher Allen, Antoine Winfield, and Lito Sheppard (who might not have much left in the tank). Now move to the poor safety play and one has to think Vikings only chance will be a strong pass rush all game.
Outside of Sharper haven't heard of any key Saints players that are going to miss this game.
