the saints need to put butts in the seats next year and go 8-8. if they don't do both start printing new jerseys with the los angeles saints on it.

defense is important to win, but some forget that we actually had a decent defense this year. considering we had the worst turnover margin in the league this year and still had a defense ranked 14th overall says to me that a good defensive coordinator(get rid of venturi)a qb with a brain(leinhart) and a healthy deuce would make the saints a heads on favorite for 2006's worst to first team.

look what pitsburgh did with rothesburger(how ever spell his name) his rookie year. solid defense with a heavy dose of the running game. i agree with charmy and others that we need to pick up a solid young lb in the draft, but i think there will be plenty available when we pick early in the 2nd round.
