Im hoping for a 10 win seaons too thogh.

With Booger McFarland out, the Colts don't have an inside presense at DT. When Freeney comes around the edge, Brees will simply step up in the pocket and deliver the ball. Plus Jamal Brown will hold his own against Freeney. SFIAH |

There won't be a final take until the Saints take the field against the Bucs on the 16th. Then win or lose, the Indy game will be put to rest. SFIAH |

Re: All in All!!!
Offense drops off a bit, some areas in the defense still not where we need it to be.
8-8 at worst, 10-6 at best. |

Welcome to the board. While everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, it would be helpful to back up those opinions with some justification. I fail to see why the offense would drop off this season. I think the Saints offense will actually be better than their NFL leading offense of a year ago. Three reasons: stability, health, and opposition. Stability: The backfield and OL are back intact. Brown, Stinchcomb, and Evans who each were starting for the first time at their respective positions are back a year stronger and a year wiser. Reggie looks like he's finally learning how to run in the NFL. The only substative change is Johnson at the TE position. A guy who was a superior receiver for SF just two years ago. Coach Payton is still at the helm of and explosive offense and Henderson seems to have finally grabbed that #2 WR position. Health: Brees and Deuce were both coming of significant injuries last year. The knee injury that Deuce suffered usually takes 18 months to completely heal while Brees was coming off a severely injured shoulder. No such problems this year. Opposition: The Saints offense struggled against superior defenses last season. The Saints will most likely be facing only three such defenses this season (Chicago, Jacksonville, Carolina) I posit that the Saints will be the #1 offense in every major offensive category except for maybe rushing offense.

It's great to speculate but you have to remember that that is exactly what it is. I think this is the most talented team the Saints have ever mustered. As long as the injury bug doesn't hit us hard we have a chance. Of course there are a multitude of other things that can effect the outcome of the season. So I plan to sit back and enjoy the season, hope they kick butt on everyone they face and win the Super Bowl, but that's a long way off. Enjoy!!!!!! |
