Is this the night Burgess breaks out and terrorizes Brees, either hurrying, hitting, or sacking him? How does he match up with the Saints RT?

The Saints O-Line is strong in the middle. That tackles are beatable, but there's not a ton of time vs. Brees.

That said, I do think Burgess is getting better every game, likely because he's getting all his other new duties down better. Watch for old-school Derrick Burgess coming in and eating Drew's lunch all night long.

He certainly figures to be part of the game plan, on a fast track like the Super Dome. He'll certainly have the stage on which to perform.

As you say, he has been getting better. I'd be content with some good pressure, forcing Brees to hurry some throws and make mistakes. Though I'm hoping Patrick Chung does a reprise of his Chad Henne hit.

I'm going to say no. Burgess hasn't shown much this year and has been pretty average. He hasn't even had a game where you can give him a game ball. You'd like to see the guy get better as the season goes on, but probably not this game. Brees gets rid of the ball so fast. He is one of the least sacked QBs in the league.

I feel like any sacks we get in this game are going to be coverage sacks... but with the Saints receivers that's not terribly likely either. This reeks of a frustrating game, where a few plays is going to make the difference.

As I mentioned above, I think pressure would be as good as sacks in many ways. Hurry Brees and he will make mistakes. We have the playmakers to take advantage of those mistakes.

To answer the thread's question: Don't bet on it.

After playing invisible man in his year here,why all of a sudden would he turn on the gas and become a force?

He is what he is and that is an average LB at this time in his career and to think he suddenly would become a monster against a team with a very solid front line is either being a dreamer or just plain dumb.

Junior Seau would have a better chance to be a force than Burgess in this game should he play.

Yeah, I don't think so.
