The Saints rush defense have not allowed an individual 100 yd rusher but they have allowed more than a 100 yds rushing every game.

If you listen to the Zeke homers he will rush for 375 yards tomorrow night, no matter who the opponent is.
So do you think Zeke is just an average RB or is this just high end humor a little beyond my level?

The saints defensive line is good. For sure

I will say though that the offensive line we played with against the Saints last time, is nothing like this time.

Our starting offensive line for the last time we played the Saints had Cam Fleming, Sua Filo and Looney. All playing due to injuries to the starters.

I feel like Zeke could be the first 100
Yard rusher soon.

Nice point. We had Fleming and Looney who is solid but he's not Frederick. It's going to be a good game.

Moore does't care who gets what he will have this offense moving regardless. Zeke wants 100 yards he will have to take it against a defense loaded up to stop him.

They've given up over 100 yards rushing in each game this season.

That's nowhere near as good as they played last year
No team plays to stop the whole team from getting 100 yards. You just want to slow down the primary ball carrier to somewhere in the 3 yard per carry average. If you do that you can slow the whole team down. They've played 3 good teams this season. Two of those teams have running QBs (Watson and Wilson) The Saints focus on RBs

Zeke + Pollard + Dak means a lot of yards and that is far more important than any individual getting 100 yards.
True, but when you are a competitor you want to break that barrier when you have one of the best RBs and offensive lines especially when your RB propels your record to wins whenever he gets 100 yards. I think we've only lost one game when zeke gets 100 yards.

Pass to open up the run.

If we can get the passing game going early, we can get space and wear them down in the trenches and on the 2nd level.

I didn't know they hadn't allowed a 100 yard rusher in 29 games though, that's pretty crazy. I actually don't know if we break that. If we can get the passing game going early we probably can. If anyone can, it's probably us.

And by us, I mean Pollard, of course.

The last time Zeke played them he had 75 yards. They will be amped to shut zeke down. There will be alot of emotion on the field this sunday. Their offensive line is very good but do is ours. With Quinn our d line is good but sonis theirs. We need to win in the trenches this Sunday night.

....yes, but they have allowed over 100 yd rushing many times, to combo runners. They have been able to lock down one runner to under 100. ...they can be run on.
