New Orleans Saints v Tennessee Titans tonight. According to the Tennessean, Jeff Fisher is playing a substantial number of starters for a half. Kinda surprises me. The Saints have declared about 10 starters out. Some of them aren't even making the trip. Drew Brees will not play. Although I love watching him play, this Saints fan is just fine with him riding the bench tonight. I think most Saints fans are.
All of the starters on offense are settled. The only things being decided between now and Saturday are who the backup QB will be and how many at each position will be kept. Things are a little more unsettled on defense but not much more. I don't think there will be any big surprises when cuts are made Saturday. One thing is certain. They're going to be releasing a few guys who can play in this league.
7 days until football season ...

Quote from said blog: "The Tennessee Titans have not really been what you could call a blitzing team. In 2009, they brought only 4 rushers 79.9% of the time, tops in the league."

Looks like the word now is that we won't see much of the first team up here either tonight. The Broncos are playing their starters for a quarter at least, so it's still watchable for that amount of time anyway. Draft day for my league is next Tuesday, so I have until then to figure out AP or CJ.
Supposedly, CJ will play tonight against the Saints so I get to see those guys in back-to-back games. I expect AP will play longer next week than CJ will tonight, though. :) I'd probably take CJ if I were drafting first. I think he's going to have another great year.
