On a side note, I'm starting to worry about the injuries beginning to pile up for the Saints. That was their main problem last year, I think they lead the league in injuries in '08. They've been lucky with virtually none the first six weeks of the season, but the past couple of weeks bodies are starting to drop. I like Dunbar at the one OLB spot, but Mitchell on the other wasn't impressing me, I think we're missing Fujita outside. And here we are with a 2nd straight game without Ellis up the middle, and two straight games we have an RB have a big day against us.
The good news is that this game concludes the tough part of the Saints sked, and they came through perfect. They've got a pretty cushy sked the next few weeks(Panthers, Rams, Bucs), and I can't see how they'd go any worse than 4-1 heading into a big rematch with the Falcons. By then Sed should be back(and hopefully Goodwin, I'm worried about that too), and hopefully the injury bug hasn't struck again.
Oh, and Colston is a stud.
