Ultimate Fantasy Football Strategy - New Orleans Saints

2008 Outlook:
The Saints line will be similar than it was in 2007 with only Jonathan Goodwin replacing Jeff Faine at center. In the two games where Goodwin replaced Faine at center in 2007, the Saints ran for 205 yards and only gave up one sack. The much stronger Strief could also replace Jon Stinchcomb at right tackle which would also help the rushing attack. Jammal Brown should be fully recovered from his bone bruise suffered in camp last season and his play should be much improved in 2007. The young Saints offensive line should be much better in 2008 than it was last year at opening holes for its running backs but the loss of leader Jeff Faine at center could create some confusion in the pass blocking schemes. It remains to be seen as to whether or not this line will be able to build some chemistry in camp and get off to a much better start than it did last season. Strief, Alleman and Bushrod provide decent depth but if either Brown or Evans were to be injured for an extended period of time, the line would be in big trouble. The Saints should have a much improved running game but in order to avoid the 0-4 start it had in 2007, Jammal Brown will have to remain healthy and show why he was a first round pick in 2005.
