Why he is our Franchise Player

Saints DE Darren Howard, who had a pair of sacks, a forced fumble, a pass defense and three tackles in the 19-7 victory over Buffalo in the Alamodome last Sunday, was selected as the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but to be frank I didn't even realize the guy played until after the game. That was the most quite pair of sacks and forced fumble that i've seen.

That is your short coming not mine...

And to think he's not even our best DE let alone best player. Charles Grant has been above and beyond Howard for a couple years now, and as was noted a day ago Will Smith is considered the best talent on the entire team.

And Abraham Lincoln was a better president than George Washington... See I can make sttements too... Based in no fact.
All I know is DHoward has 18.5 sacks in the since 2003/
Grant 21.5.
Guess which one has played in 25 games, and which hs played in 36
I am just giving credit to a guy who produces when he is on the field.

man... you take one game and hang your hate on it. Even the worse player on the team is capable of having a great game and being D player of the week.

Howard is good but injuries have been a problem with him. I think that's why we couldn't get what we wanted on a trade for him. Also I think that has made the team hesistant about signing him long term. So instead we franchised him to give us another year to look at him and another year for him to impress some other team so we can trade him. I don't think he will be with the team after 2006 season but you never know. After all this is the Saints. There are a lot of people who analyse football teams and get a healthy check for doing it and all of them are pretty much dumbfounded when it comes to predicting anything about the Saints. We keep em guessing cause we are g uessing ourselves.
