Saints predictions anyone?

If the Skins beat the Saints it'd be the upset of the year.

Saints always seem to start off slow and then pound teams into submission.

Remember that MNF game several years ago when the Skins still with Neon Deion and Bruce Smith smoked the Rams at St Louis when they were still the greatest show on turf? I can see it happening as we are improving slightly every game the past few weeks and they might be just riding the waves so to speak.

I think we can keep it close if our defense and special teams and score some points. So far our defense has not scored a defensive TD this season, and we are due. I hope the weather can be a factor to slow down the Saints offense as well. Our offense is missing alot of starters especial on the O-line and RB position which will hurt us. So if we can generate points from the Defense and Special teams we can keep it close but we lose i the end with the score 34-24 Saints WIN. We jsut dont force enough game changing plays on defense IE. 2 drop picks vs Cowboys we dont make the plays when the opportunity presents it self.

I am expecting to see the Saints keep with their standard offensive balance and run the ball slightly more than half the time. The Redskins run defense, ranked 25th, will have difficulties stopping the Saints 5th ranked rushing offense. I can easily see three rushing touchdowns and one passing TD. While they could score more if they opened it up, I am expecting more of a ball control approach this week.

On the other side of the ball, the Washington QB (Collins is my guess) will be seeing tremendous pressure all game. I really doubt they will be able to get much established offensively.

I am not expecting as much scoring as some have guessed. Payton isn't one to run up a score ala Belichick. My prediction is 38-13 Saints with the 5th TD coming by way of special teams or defense.

Why would Collins be starting?

I am concerned about the hit that Campbell took at the end of the game, especially with the recent emphasis from the league on head injuries. What is his latest status? What has his practice status been this week?

He's not even on the injury report this week

Okay, thanks. I hadn't been able to find much on the situation. Still, I don't see much difference this week. Campbell should be seeing a solid barrage of corner and safety blitzes.

My bigger concern is that it looks like we will be without Hall. That is bad. Very bad. News & Notes: Hall 'Doubtful' For Saints Game

Thanks boss, we're well aware of what GW brings to the table defensively. Did you know the second 'G' stands for genius?

Where would I find the practice participation report for the Skins? I always get the Saints tweeted daily by the Times-Picayune beat writer, Jeff Duncan. The official injury report should be coming out later today.

True. I had seen that. But, I still expect the Saints to be keeping to the ground quite a bit. Although, Payton will still take a few shots down field just to keep the defense on their heels.
