Burnett was held out. 2-3 weeks for an scope on his knee? I cant remember.
Ware played. He wasnt huge out there. They double teamed him pretty regularly. They also thru in a OL playing TE in diff formation that confused him a bit at times. Hes learning. He will get there.
He was a breath from Breese a few times. He certainly wasnt making things easy for Breese back there today.
Oh yah....Steak Fajita....no I didnt see him on D but on ST. Cant wait to see him play.

Does anyone know why Singleton was the blitzer on so many plays? That's not exactly his strength. If they were simply going to blitz him then Fujita should have eplaced him on a play or two.

yea Fujita is probably going to work out much better for us than singleton in the 3-4, can't wait to see him

Fujita is a player, im sure he was held out on d bc we have guys there who are more ready to contribute...knowing the plays and all.
Any one think Canty looks way bigger than listed 280? He has Peppers like guns.

We're deep at every position and guys will start to produce even more with the way BP is rotating guys in and out. Our overall depth is good and it will get scary once the rooks settle down and just play. Our DL rotation IMO is what really won us the game in the end. It keep our Dl fresh.

Brees was only sacked 18 times all of last year. They allowed him to be sacked once every 23 pass attempts. They returned all of their offensive linemen from last year and today we sacked Brees once every 18 attempts. So he's a tough QB to get to, and we got to him more than most. On a couple of the close plays he just showed good awareness and stepped up in the pocket, we didn't have the middle pressure to prevent that today. But overall he was hurried a good bit and knocked around, even though we didn't get as many sacks as we'd like. And it showed up in his stats. He threw 7 picks all of last year, he threw 2 against us today. Last year he had a 104 QB rating, today he had a 65. He also only completed 51% of his passes against us. Now a large portion of that IMO is the absence of Gates, but you play who they line up and I don't think our D did a bad job against Brees. The pressure paid off, and this is only the beginning.

The rotation allowed by this level of depth is really important. That will keep our linemen fresh at the end of the game. Reminds me of the Super Bowl years when they had Haley, Tolbert, Casillas, Maryland, Jimmy Jones, and Jeffcoat. Hennings and Lett were on that team too, but couldn't even sniff the field.50cent said:

You have to love the depth we have across the DLine. Canty, Spears, Ellis, Fergy, Glover, Coleman... Man, I love it. I also noticed we moved Ware back and forth between SLB and WLB, trying to keep the defense guessing and limit them running at him I would think.
