Gus Kattengell’s Saints Report: Rams Game
Well it's another scrimmage game for the New Orleans Saints this weekend as they face their second straight winless team in the St. Louis Rams at noon on Sunday.
Something else to look for on Sunday is if the defense can play like last week, in creating turnovers. A couple of picks, a fumble recovery, indeed the Saints defense took the ball away and gave the Saints offense extra chances to put points on the board. Linebacker Jonathan Vilma says it was going back to what made the defense good in 2009 that was the difference last week.
Expect running back Mark Ingram to sit out this week with a bruised heel, allowing running back Chris Ivory to see his first action of the season. Pierre Thomas this week saying that there has been no difference this week at practice with Ivory stepping in for Ingram, who adds that the team has a philosophy of having players step up when guys go down.
