...and Im ironing my clothes, watching ESPN and smoking a cigarette like i do every morning, and they start talking about the Saints. They talk about them for a good 2 1/2 minutes, which you Saints fans know is a pretty long time for them. All I hear is how the Saints are "Pretenders" and their defense is bad and that will be exposed by the best team ever in the NFL (being sarcastic) the Atlanta Falcons. They basically said the offense is fun to watch, but we are pretenders and will not make the playoffs. Now, at first, I admit i was pissed at this, like the power rankings a week or so ago where we were dead last, but some of you guys opened my eyes. I like the underdog role. It seems like every year we are picked to do good, we blow it, and when no one expects us to pull it off, we do. The question is, how long, who do we have to beat, and by how much to prove that we are not the worst in the NFL. As far as names on defense go, we have the worst D. But we are ranked #3 in NFC on rushing defense, #6 overall in rushing D. Now, when you keep a team from rushing, their only chance is thru the air, and we gave up alot of yards to Farve last week thru the air. He had to throw 55 times to get that. They didnt throw the ball because they had SO much success doing it, they had no choice. He threw for a lilttle over 50%, doesnt make us that horrible on pass defense. We will get a true test Monday when a RUNNING, not passing team comes to town. If we can stop the running game, can Vick beat us with his arm? I dont think so. We dont have alot of big time passers on our schedule this year, so as long as we shut down the running game, we will be alright. Yea, this was long and rambling, but had a lot in my head about the Saints today......sorry
