Thanksgiving Day Feast!!! Bush Approved



    The New Orleans Saints look to feast on the Cowboys Thanksgiving Day.  The Cowboys which have won 2 games in a row under new interim head coach Jason Garrett have looked like a totally different team since he has taken over.  To the Cowboys credit they seemed to have improved a little since Wade Phillips was fired.

    The Saints came off an impressive win over the Seattle Seahawks Sunday 34-19.  Drew Brees picked apart the Seahawks secondary like a skilled surgeon.  Marques Colston and Robert Meachem each scored 2 touchdowns.  Chris Ivory a.k.a. “The Beast” finally got his first regular season NFL touchdown in the first half of the game.  Mark my word that with time Ivory will be one of the best running backs in Saints team history.  With word coming out that Pierre actually tore a ligament in his ankle his future for the regular season is looking grim.  Hopefully he will be healthy enough to play in the playoffs.  With a healthy Pierre and Chris Ivory as his back up I could see the two of them becoming one of the greatest  1-2 punches in the league.  Almost reminds me of the old days with Deuce and Williams.

    I’m sure a lot of Saints fans are wondering which Dallas team will show up Thursday.  My guess is it will be the team that went up to the Meadowland’s and beat a good Giants team and a pretty decent Detroit team.  I see this game as being the Cowboys Super Bowl since by all account they are not going to win the NFC East and they are not going to get a wild card spot.  The TV ratings for this game will be off the charts.  At of all the three games I see this as being best.

     If the Saints start off flat and have to play from behind this could be trouble for New Orleans.  But, I think Brees will start out of the gates fast like a thorough breed horse.  Pay close attention to the rookie sensation tight end Jimmy Graham.  Since Shockey’s injury he has really stepped it up and really helped Brees and this offense out.  I am really ecstatic about his future in the league.  The next “Tony Gonzales” is being thrown around on some online forums.

    If you have Brees on your fantasy roster I would of course start him.  Colston, Moore and Meachem will have plenty of targets so if you have any of them I would start them this week.  Out of the 3 I would take Colston then Moore.  With the return of Reggie Bush I would be careful this week but from what I have heard from the injury report Ivory was limited all week in practice but he maybe just getting some rest.  If Ivory starts I still see him getting the bulk of the carries with Bush getting between 10-15 carries.  My prediction is that this will be a shootout.  Saints 38 Cowboys 27.
