smooth sailing for the saints?

"Under the radar" is relative. Not because the media doesn't talk (or doesn't talk ill ) about the Saints is cause for the teams the Saints play to ignore the Saints. Other teams' coaches don't look to ESPN for scouting reports.

In any case, there is no "under ethe radar" this year. When you think of the coach the Saints have, the QB they have, the RBs they have, the WRs they have, the lnes they have, the performance of the entire team last year, this year, expectations have to be high, and everyone is going to know when the Saints are coming to town.

Agreed-
The point I made was primarily about our players reading their own headlines. Last year they were hungry, overachieving. Once we would get on a roll, though, we stumbled- Baltimore, Washington & Cincy were all bad, unfocused losses.

This is one of the reasons I hope Patten makes it- we need that veteran come-back-to-earth presence in the locker room.

Good point. Patten - even if he's not an impact player on the field - can be am impact on the locker room. I hope he brings rings in and tells the guys what it takes to get there.

Ok. I didn't think of that angle. I see your point point now.
