Prediction time...

Alright. I think I might be a little overly optomistic here, but I\'m predicting a pretty good season, with our boys finishing 11-5. Of course, that is if Brooks, McAllister, the receivers and at least a few linemen can stay healthy and be productive all year.

From everything I\'ve read, we seem to have a lot of new, albeit a lot of it young, talent on both sides of the line. I really like the fact that the O-line is beefed up so the Brooks should be able to hang longer in the pocket this season (we all know what happened last year whenever he was pressured).

The receiving corps seems improved as does the secondary. Even special teams got a boost with our new kicker. All in all, at least on paper, the SAINTS should be a better team this year than last. But, this is nowhere near the first time that we looked markedly improved before playing a down only to find out later that very little played out like it was supposed to.

Still, I am optomistic and think that we are getting all that much closer to our year.

So I\'m sticking with 11-5, but I won\'t be too surprised to see anywhere down to a 7-9 finish.

Just my thoughts...

Go SAINTS!!!!!
