NO Saints fan blog The Canal Street Chronicles has been rather quiet this week, and it would appear that the Saints are just as banged up on defense as the Chiefs are with both starting cornerbacks, Mike McKenzie and rookie Tracy Porter, on IR for the remainder of the season. Apparently many Saints fans have been calling for the job of defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs just as loudly as Chiefs fans have for the heads of Herm Edwards and Carl Peterson.
LJ appears to be back this week, but Herm Edwards would not comment if the drink-spitting misogynist powerback would start or exactly how much time he will receive. Adam Teicher speculates in the Star that Larry's introduction back into Chan Gailey's new spread offense will probably cause awkwardness. Personally I think the team should do a fair amount of substitution between Johnson and Jamaal Charles to establish a powerrun game but also to keep the Saints on their toes with Charles' flourishes of speed. I'm no offensive coordinator, but it would seem having them both out there in a split backfield would ratchet up the anxiety and suspense for an already beleaguered Saints D.
Lastly on the game, it appears that Turk McBride is back as he fully participated in Wednesday's practice; Patrick Surtain and Jarrad Page were limited in that practice, and Brandon Flowers, Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson and LB Pat Thomas did not participate at all.
BONUS -- Here is the photo shoot Ashley N. Stewart, the woman who accuses Larry Johnson of spitting a drink in her face and threatening to kill her boyfriend at the Plaza CLUB Blonde, took for the "Women of KU" calendar.

Did you know that Canal Street Chronicles is run by my buddy Dave in NOLA? He actually flew to the London game to report on them. Crazy.
