#saints coach Sean Payton says he expects this will be the week Sheldon Rankins makes his debut. This is 1st week he's eligible to play.

I can't wait to see what the big man can do! I'm assuming that if he does play this week he'll be on a limited snap count.
 
I'm not expecting much the first weekend back, although I would be be very happy to be proven wrong

Rankins and Breaux back, could be the start of something special, even if we happen to fall short of the playoffs this year, the near future looks bright!
 
I wonder what number he will be ?

I'm pretty sure he took #98, which was his college number, once we signed Kruger.

Man this team really is getting healthy at the right time. Just think, what if this guy is indeed the next Aaron Donald, and can provide that same sort of plug-and-play juice to our defense that Donald did?

Getting both Rankins and Breaux back could potentially be like adding two Pro Bowlers to our defense.

Yes, i'm too excited about him playing. What a great game for him to play in also against the 49ers. The reason i say this is because im sure he will be hype for the game and i believe that the saints will need that extra hype against a team that has been struggling and i'm sure the saints will get their best efforts. We need to take over the NFC West. WhoDat 4 Life
 
did anyone else besides mountaineer dude expect less? There was no reason to divulge Rankins playing early other than to allow the other team to include him in their tape study. Harbaugh has done it at times with Terrell Suggs coming off of IR as well as others.

The real surprise will be if he starts which will quickly confirm that the guy is the real deal. Thomas has been a monster but Rankins was really the crown Jewel of this class. I expect a few growing pains but judging by the comments from Payton and others the kid is already a pro's pro and should come back and make a fairly early impact.

Who Dat!!

I don't know what to expect from Rankins. I've never seen him play. I know he did really well at the Combine, but so did Stephone Anthony. I read a pre-draft report that said that Rankins doesn't play as well in games as he looks in workouts, so that's concerning. I'm really hoping he's another LaRoi Glover.
