As good as we have been against the run how do you think this defense will fair again Gurley?

Unstoppable forced meets immovable object(s). I think the Saints can slow him down, but I don't think they can stop him. The Rams OL, and Gurley, are extremely good.

No one really mentions Loewen... the guy who in the off-season up-righted an SUV, pulled the door off, and drug the driver to safety...

I HATE Davenport missing any time, but I believe with fresh rotation we can keep the pressure, if not equal, at least close to equal what we seeing. Okafor, Hendrickson, and Loewen is nice depth to have.

Well, to be honest, I've never really been on the Loewen train. He's versatile, and better against the run than T-Rex, but arguably the poorest pass rusher in the DL depth. He's a great depth piece though.

I worry about the short passing game to Gurley specifically. It's impossible to get pressure on those extended handoffs, and it could eliminate the strength we have in our run D.

Certainly something to worry about, but I think the saints have done a really good job of combating the short attack. It's the Rams ability to stretch the field that worries me.
