Four years into this new New Orleans Saints world order, certain empirical truths can be applied annually to the black-and-gold universe.

• Drew Brees will throw around 30 touchdown passes.


• He is rarely going to get sacked or turn the ball over.

• The offense is going to gain about 400 yards per game and lead the league. The special teams will feature a strong kicking game, an erratic, sometimes spectacular return game and shaky coverage units.

These things are certain, as inevitable as death and taxes.

The defense, though, remains something of a mystery. The track record is too short. More data is required.
