Saints running back Darren Sproles, who missed the past two games with a broken hand, returned to practice on Wednesday. Saints interim coach Joe Vitt said Sproles "looked good" at practice, although he was limited.
"I'm very, very encouraged with Darren," Vitt said."
Receiver Courtney Roby, who also missed the last two games after suffering a shoulder injury on Oct. 28 at Denver, was back at practice but was limited.
The news wasn't as good for right tackle Zach Strief (groin), cornerback Corey White (knee) and defensive end Junior Galette (ankle). All three missed practice, as the Saints opened preparation for Sunday's game at Oakland. Source: The Times-Picayune Attached Thumbnails

It’s been a rough year in New Orleans. Just short of canceling Mardi Gras, the Saints are the big show in the Big Easy, but since the bounty scandal, its been tough sledding.
The loss of head coach Sean Payton for the year and losing Vitt for 8 games, seemed to really throw off a team usually in sync on offense and timely on defense.
However, the offense seemed to have gained...

So it seems that as soon as I give my vote of confidence to a certain player, they have a knack for underperforming.
Last week’s article featured a picture of Buccaneers running back Doug Martin. He followed up his monster week 9 with a pedestrian week 10, rushing for just 68 yards. Martin did have 51 receiving yards, but failed to score for the first time since week 6.

They’re the least likely of the three 2011 playoff teams who are currently 4-5 to go 1-6 and be this year’s team that goes from the playoffs to 5 wins or fewer, but I guess we can’t rule them out. They probably won’t be that team, however. That being said, they’re overrated. Yes, they knocked off Atlanta, but Dallas, Carolina, Washington,...
