They don't have Patterson anymore though, so they've lost dynamic-ness from their run game.

If either Tupou or Reader (unlikely) plays, I think we'll be ok: they are NOT like the Saints in terms of personnel and have a worse OL to boot.

EDIT* For example, their non-QB runs went 34 for 118, which is 3.4 YPC. They don't have a stud RB like Kamara and they don't have a gadget QB like Hill, thus Mariota's running is a bit more predictable.

Not saying we win 100% of course, but this is a different sitch… and we're at home.
