Some of my concerns during the offseason for the New Orleans Saints are to secure a steady running attack and emphasize better coverage in the secondary. The Seattle game was a complete embarrassment to me. I’m still in shock that we let Matt Hasselbeck throw 4 touchdowns against us and in the end the nail in coffin was when Marshawn Lynch ran a 67 yard TD run. Lynch made Tracy Porter look like a fool. You can agree or disagree but that’s how I perceived it.

This past week’s Thanksgiving Day game against the Cowboys proved to be a real shoot-out with a much improved team led by interim coach Jason Garrett. Chris Ivory a.k.a. “The Beast” was unleashed against the Cowboys for two rushing touchdowns in the first quarter of the game. By halftime, the Saints had a commanding 14 point lead of 20-6. The Cowboys came into the third quarter with a chip on their shoulders and scored a 60 yard touchdown run by Miles Austin. All the Saints could manage during...

The New Orleans Saints look to feast on the Cowboys Thanksgiving Day.

To the Cowboys credit they seemed to have improved a little since Wade Phillips was fired.

The Saints came off an impressive win over the Seattle Seahawks Sunday 34-19. Drew Brees picked apart the Seahawks secondary like a skilled surgeon. Marques Colston...

This past week’s bye gave me an opportunity to scout other teams that are in the playoff race this season. I enjoyed watching the Falcons’ “come from behind” win over the Ravens. However, the main event of the week was the Eagles versus the Redskins on Monday Night Football. Michael Vick’s performance will be remembered as one of the best Monday Night performances of all time by a quarterback. It was the football equivalent of watching Michael Jordan drop 50 points on the New York Knicks. It seemed...

The Steelers’ “Steel Curtain Defense” crumbled to the Super Bowl Champs. Once again the Saints bounced back from a loss. The first half of the game was definitely a defensive battle. Jonathan Vilma played a major part in curtailing the Steelers’ running game including a ruthless sack on Roethlisberger. The Saints defense was able to stop the Steelers on a goal line stance and force them to a field goal even after a penalty was called on the Saints which reset it to 1st and Goal. The Saints can...
