Who do you think will be the X-factor in today's game?

My call:

Calais Campbell:

If the 6'8" DLer can be a disruptive force at the line against the 6'0" Brees by knocking down passes, altering passes, flushing Brees out or just plain sacking him, we will win. Dockett's bullrush up the middle should really benefit CC today and if he gets his arms up and effects the game in the way I described above, then bring on the Vkies/Boys.....

I was thinking the same thing from your title preview, before I read the entire post.

Calais Campbell, that's it.

O-Line, if they can continue to grow and not give up sacks and open up holes for Beanie we will win. I had a dream last night that the first play of the game was a draw to Beanie and he broke it for a 70 yd td.

Rolle 1 pick maybe TD return.

Rolle but I want to see him in the Wildcat. The Dolphins were tremendously successful running the Wildcat against the Saints this season, I would love to see Rolle take a few snaps back there.

Rolle & whomever else plays the other deep safety. We will sink or swim with this matchup because the Saints will attack deeper zones than the Pack. #21 is way overdue for a big game!!!

I've said this same thing all week to friends. We didn't show ANY trick plays last week and I think we have a bunch in store for this week.

We did try a flea flicker. Clay Matthews knocked the ball out of Warner for a fumble. Breaston was all alone down the field too.

For us, I think it's McFadden. If we're to win, he's going to have to make a play or two (and I think he's capable of it).

For them, Reggie Bush scares the Hell out of me.

I think the Saints are prime for a few tricks plays from our offense.

Bill Davis. We need to get pressure on Brees. I think Bill will come up with a game plan that will make it happen.

According to most media outlets: the X-factor in the game will be ... Hurricane Katrina.

Wow. Is that going to be brought up every fourth sentence from now until forever when you talk about the Saints? :shrug:
