I don't think Colston plays Sunday as he has the dreaded high ankle sprain. He didn't practice Friday from what I hear.
Exactly...the guy has missed two games and hasnt practiced all week. The report said he did some ind drills but did not practiced with the team and I am sure that payton will not sacrifice his star receiver for one game when he is going to need him for the stretch. The saints have alot of tough games coming up and he is going to need him. Plus high anke sprains normally take about 5 good weeks to at least be able to play on it with pain so Colston is basically not ready.
I give the saints a punchers chance because brees is a very,very good qb who is extremely accurate. Their defense is not solid and their offense has been stop before. Remember that most of brees yards have come against suspect defenses ( tampa bay, atlanta) or because they were behind and had to pass (pittburg, cinci). This game will come down to if the cowboys will be able to control the ball while keeping brees frustrated with the two deep zone blitzes.
Our corners should be ableo to hold their receivers at bay. I think Newman can hold this Henderson guy and Henry should not have a problem with Cooper. I think that the saints have not faced a team as balance as the cowboys nor have they faced a good defense since the ravens.
Should be entertaining but being that the Cowboys are at home I think we should have a pretty easy task and take second placed in the conference with some ease.
