Hopefully our LBers will be good enough to slow him and the RB's down on the underneath stuff.
Well said, HnP. Seahawk LB play will be a key point to earning a victory, IMO. Pierre Thomas is a beast and Sproles could very well be suited up for the Hawks game.
Regarding Saints fans: I live in New Orleans, and the Saints fans I interact with have the Seahawk's respect. They know we are very good and winning at Seattle is a difficult, if not impossible, task. But, the Saints are recent SB champions with a 9-2 record, they have Drew Brees, and a top-5 offense
and defense. I don't think it's unreasonable for them to have some confidence.
Despite their showing last night, the Saints are a very good team, and demand our respect as well. Our past MNF record, or the win against them in 2011, (just like the Niners "5 rings!") will have nothing to do with the outcome of the game.
