TheDeuce

As I was sitting here thinking about the success this team has had this year. Of course the first thing that comes to my mind is that we have come "out of nowhere" to get ourselves atop the NFC South. There is still a lot of season to play, but I think it is really amazing that we have accomplished all of this with a team that nobody thought was any good. However, when you look at the offense, we have Brees locked up for a long time, Reggie for a long time, Deuce for a while, Horn for a few more years, Marques for a long time, and some pretty solid linemen. Think about how good our offense (who has so many new guys playing together for the first time) can be in the future. I really think that this unit can get even better when they have more experience together. The defense is another story. We have two very good bookends in Grant* and Will Smith. Scott Fujita is playing like he wants to go to Honolulu. Bullocks is still young and is only going to get better, but right now I think he's a very solid starter. MM still flashed signs of brilliance. Obviously, there are some holes in this defense. But think about what this team needs to do to get a lot better, which isn't much. We need another CB, another DT, and a good LB. That's three spots, which IMO, are the three things that are keeping us from being on the level with the Bears and the Colts. Our offense is so good, and our defense has been good enough usually. We don't have that many holes, but we do have that many options come this offseason. It is a little early to think about that, but I'm very very very excited for the long term success of this team.
