each other not to get frustrated if and when Brees connects.Jim

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant expects to be exhausted by the end of Atlantas NFC South showdown Sunday at New Orleans.Drew Brees, the Saints eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback, is renowned for sidestepping pressure and picking defences apart.In the series, Brees is 13-4 with 35 touchdowns and 19 interceptions and has won seven of eight starts against Atlanta at the Superdome.Thats a bad matchup for the Falcons, who rank last in sacks, last in pass defence and last in third-down efficiency.Weve got to cover for longer, Trufant said Thursday. And when he throws it up there, go make plays.If only it were that easy.For Atlanta (5-9) to keep its division title hopes alive with a victory at New Orleans (6-8), Trufant knows the defence must clamp down its coverage on All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham and a dynamic receiving corps led by Marques Colston and Kenny Stills.The Falcons arent as healthy as they were in Week 1, when reserve cornerback Robert McClain picked off Brees in the third quarter and William Moore stripped away the ball from Colston in overtime.Those turnovers led to a touchdown and the game-winning field goal, but this time Atlanta will face New Orleans with starting cornerback Robert Alford on injured reserve and Moore expected to play with a foot injury.I think were going to be ready as far as what Drew brings, Moore said. Hes a different breed. Every time we play him, he gives us everything. Thats one thing they focus on — extending plays and getting receivers open. He doesnt go to the first one. He looks for the play downfield first.For coach Mike Smith, stopping Brees begins with shutting down New Orleans rushing attack and limiting the play choices of Saints coach Sean Payton.The Falcons looked better against the run last week despite losing at home to Pittsburgh. They held LeVeon Bell, the leagues second-leading rusher, to just 2.4 yards per attempt on 20 carries.Against New Orleans, Atlanta will face the trio of Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson and Pierre Thomas, who lead a ground game that averages over 120 yards per game to rank ninth.Sean wants to run the football, Smith said. It sets up his passing game. It sets up his ability to throw the ball down field.Graham and Colston are both big, strong and fast and have traditionally caused the Falcons smaller defensive backs fits.Trufant says the Falcons are promising each other not to get frustrated if and when Brees connects.Jimmy Graham is obviously a mismatch player, Trufant said. Colston has been doing it for years. Weve just got to be solid. We know theyre going to take their shots, try to blow the top off, so we have to keep them in front and make plays.The key will be to force turnovers when those chances are presented.Atlanta picked off 12 passes and recovered three fumbles over a six-game stretch before creating no takeaways in losses the last two weeks.Getting a couple of turnovers against the Saints could help keep the score close.I dont think theres been but one game down in New Orleans that its been more than a one-score game since weve been here, said Smith, now in his seventh season with the Falcons. I think its the same thing when they come to Atlanta. Its going to be a competitive football game.Notes: WR Julio Jones, the NFLs second-leading wideout, has been unable to practice for the last two weeks because of a hip injury and was not on the field again Thursday. Smith said that Jones will be a game-time decision. ... RG Jon Asamoah (back) did not participate for the second straight day. ... (Moore, WR Roddy White (knee) and WR Harry Douglas (foot) were limited participants.___Online:AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Jasper Cillessen Jersey .

Ryan, who was coaching Fiji in a World Series tournament for the first time, saw promise in their performance. "On the field we have a lot of work to do," he said. "We have a huge amount of talent in Fiji. Now we just need to make sure we have the right guys on the pitch, they are fit and good for purpose. "We want to be lifting Cups, not Plates. When we are on the money, as youve seen here, they play good rugby, we just need to be more consistent." The next leg of the series is at Dubai on Nov. 29 and 30.
