Texans@Nawlins Keypoints

O vs. Houston D
Phillips has certainly added some flair to one of the worst '10 defenses. They might actually matchup not so bad in the passing game. A key I'm watching is the interior. Their weakest spot may be NT. Evans-Kreutz-Nicks might be the perfect matchup for Ingram to get his most carries yet. A successful grind game might have the fewest Saints passing attempts in a long time. In other words, play keep away like many teams have planned against the Saints in the past. Early success will bode well. Jimmy Graham is progressing rapidly. Colston may not be the automatic big target go-to guy by the time he returns. Someone research: has Devery ever had 3 straight 100yd games? Expect Lance getting more targets as he gets to 100%. Protection near to as good as vs. Peppers & co. last week will be a notable landmark towards successful contention.

D vs. Houston O
Similar to GB in that they can keep gunning in the vertical passing game endlessly. The % success rate doesn't have to be great when ya do it that much. Schaub nowhere near as good as Rodgers vs. the blitz so it will be interesting to see the tact GW chooses. Gameplan matches much like the Saints O vs. them... They have one of the best zone blocking run games in the league. Foster or not it could be a huge challenge. Same as other side of the ball- early success stopping or slowing there will be huge to making them one dimensional.

ST
So far so good with Kasay <fingers crossed>. I'm campaigning for Morstead as All Pro. He's a true 2 way weapon with touchbacks and spaceshot punts. Speaking of All Pro, Sproles definitely looks revitalized and back in the special category.
