Skins are 14-7 all time against Saints, according to ProFootbalReference.
Some of you guys with a better memory will recall the last time NO beat us at home. For the life of me, I can´t.
Brees looked good against Tampa, and racked up a ton of yards. Our secondary has to step up if we want a chance in this one.
Campbell must gain confidence at home and at least not lose the game for the team creating unnecesary turnovers.
What do guys expect to see from the Aints?

I expect to see lots of passing from the Saints, they aren't a great running team. Our defense needs to generate a lot of pressure on Brees and cause some turnovers and easy scores, if we can do that i think we have a great chance.

Saints beat us in DC back in 2002. From what I remember, the Skins got behind by something like 21 early, came back and still ended up getting blown out.

Last four times they played:
06 in NO. We won.
03 at FedEx. We lost.
02 at FedEx. We lost.
01 in NO. We won... by 30 I believe.
Sadly, this is all off the top of my head.

Oh i remember the saints game. I traveled 2,000 miles to see my first skins game in D.C. only to watch in horror as the Aints whooped up on us. The Beer truck driver guy ran back a punt and a kickoff i think. Iffianni ohalayhe (spelling) retuned a Arron Brooks int for a TD. Ramsey got sacked like 6 times i think. It sucked

Brees makes me nervous.
Veteran QB who can control the game + inmense pressure on our QB + new coach = breakdown.
Only thing that soothes me a bit is the fact we will be at home. At least you can bet the defense wil be fired-up. With all the passing attempts the Saints run, it looks like a prime game for the secondary to step up.

Maybe Rogers will surprise us and actually
hold on to a ball that hits him in the hands this time.

Is that glue-thingy that some players used in the 70s still legal in the NFL?
Serioulsy, Rogers needs that.
Practically every game some ball hits him in the hands, as you said Vet.

I look at it as he's in position and not getting burned. I'll take it!

So he basically acts as an enormous human cushion?
