It'll be a good test. They don't seem to be running the ball very well but that could just be that they've been in tight games and throwing the ball quite a bit. Still, we've held up pretty well until the run defense starts breaking down.

Yup, another good test. Saints D has had to face a few tough offenses so we'll see how their defense is... both the Ravens and Lions were able to run on them. And, yeah, the Saints have been airing it out and haven't ran the ball very well. Banks being out isn't going to help their cause there. Olave has been a stud.

#Saints OT Kelvin Banks Jr suffered a severe high-ankle sprain and is now expected to have surgery to repair it, tests revealed today. He is out indefinitely. Banks, one of the top young OTs, has a chance to return late in the season if all goes well. But a significant loss.

One thing I noticed more about our run defense than last week (other than getting pushed) We seemed to not respect Herbert’s ability to scramble at all. Our DL were doing the play the run on the way to the pass thing way too often. Quite a few times I saw our guy pushing his way past a OG rather than stacking and shedding.

Not saying that was all of it but it was something I definitely noticed.

Fatukasi did that early in the game. Penetrated passed and never saw Hampton with the ball.
 
This is going to be tough, but you have to stay disciplined against Shough from breaking the pocket and shut down Olave. They also have A TE that he throws to a lot. Their running game doesn't seem that great, but Moore will stick with it. On the other side, we should be able to run a little bit against them. They shut Henry down looks like, but Baltimore also only ran a handful of times in the second half. I'm going to watch their two games in the next couple of days and see what's what. Detroit was getting in their ass early in that game, so I want to see what they were having success with and why it changed late.
