Sounds like the starters will be in longer this game, so we hope everyone stays healthy.
I mainly hope our team continues to compete well in all phases and not look overmatched anywhere. But it is preseason, time for learning and trying everyone out.
A few things seem to be of interest to watch out of last week -
Defense
- how will Mario progress in his position
- will we stop runs up the middle
- can we protect against the long pass
- will Braman and Nadding continue to look good at OLB
Offense
- how will we protect against lots of blitzes
- how will Tate and Arian look at RB, and Ogbonnaya continue to look
- how about Jean and other WR's
ST
- kick returners, will this improve, although likely still backups
- and will kick coverage improve

Pretty good list for things to watch for. However, as you said, we meet the Saints pretty early in the year so I expect both teams to keep it pretty vanilla. Thus, I don't anticipate the Saints sending a lot of blitzes so you may not get a chance to see how we protect against the blitz this week.
I would also add that I'm looking for Schaub to give some indication that he is aware he is playing a football game sometime before midway through the 2nd quarter.
