NFL.com news: Saints' show of power vs. Jags proves team can win many ways

Nice article - thanks for sharing. I especially liked this excerpt:

"Obviously, the Saints will establish themselves in a much more defined way as the rest of the season plays out. But based on the first four games, this group looks capable of many types of wins: Coming from behind. Starting fast. Throwing when necessary. Running if it works."

The highlight video was right on, Sproles is the best FA signing to date much to my surprise. I thought he would be a slight improvement but it's a lot of the little things he does like hitting seems, changing direction on a dime, and knowing when it's over. He can get caught from behind but that's usually after a decent run.

Coach Payton may be hooked on Juicy Fruit but he sure made moves to bring a strong Running Back corps to the battlefield. By the end of last season he was thinking of turning Carney into a running back but Carney only chews Doublemint and SP changed his mind.
On a serious note with Ivory back, Drew can go a Busmans Holiday.
