Just like last year a truly good dline (was the Saints last year as well) will expose just how god awful the oline really is.

You are right.  This is a true test of O-line.  This is one of the best d-lines we will face.

Last year in our first meeting we lost 27-24.   The Saints had 1 sack, 3TFL, 2 QB hits, 1 pass deflection and 0 FF.    We threw for 254 yards and Bridgewater had a 128.3 passer rating.   Really nothing earth shattering in pass pro to say they exposed much.

Rushing is a different story.  We only had 37 yards rushing.  CMC was out for that one. 

This year CMC is back.  Elflein and Erving are graded higher in run blocking than their predecessors.  With these improvements, and their diminished linebacker unit, we should run the ball better.  If we do,  we have a very good chance to win this game.

CMC + defense are gonna be the keys. CMC accounted for 49~% of our yards vs. the jets. Let’s hope we don’t have to put him at 30+ touches again though.

Saints actually have 4 starters definitely out and 2 more that are questionable. This is our day!
