Can De La puente and the O-Line duplicate last weeks performance vs 49ers??

I expect around 120-130 yds rushing, which is as good as the 200+ yds against Dallas. If we have that, we win.

I meant as players, whose talent is similar. Dallas has some good players on D, granted, they were banged up, and that's why we ran over 200yds....but they're pretty talented.

Do you think if we limit Gore and the Niners to 120 yards rushing it will be a win? What if they rush for 200 yards? Not the same is it?

We wont duplicate the same performance. Those 242 yards rushing may have been the most by a Saints team in the Payton era. We are talking about a 1/100 type rushing performance. We had the longest streak in the NFL without a 100 yard rusher going into the game and one of the leagues worst rushing offenses. To do it twice in two weeks and the odds skyrocket out of control. To do it twice in two weeks and the second time against a 49'ers team that has held us to 96 yards rushing COMBINED the last two times we played them and the odds get really close to impossible.

I'll be thrilled if we can rush 25 times for a 100 yards with very few negative plays.
