The Saints are fine at RB too. I'd hate to beat a dead horse so I'll simply list the RB's and leave the RB topic alone. Deuce McAllister, Reggie Bush, Aaron Stecker, Pierre Thomas, Jamaal Branch, Mike Karney. Shoot, Kevin Dudley impressed the heck out of me in the 2007 pre-season. The offense backfield for the Saints is very good. Focus on the defense.

The WR position is fine also. I'm eager to see what Meachem can do for the Saints this year. Bring Patten and a healthy Copper back and get rid of Henderson! This isn't a great WR group but the Saints must focus on the defense.

E Johnson can't catch. And the Saints are far from fine at RB. Too many unknowns headed into the year... Deuce and Reggie's durability issues, PT's limited experience and Stecker is not the bruiser Deuce once was.

WR is far from fine as well. Colston is our only solid player and he's been injury prone as well. Patten fills in nicely on occasion, but is nowhere near a #1. I won't speak of Meach until he plays in real games. Copper & Moore are still up in the air and you're right, Henderson needs to go.

So, while the Saints "focus" on defense, they need to continue to build on the offense. I hope to see this accomplished in free agency too.

It would seem to me that the Saints are set at RB more than any position on the team. The only question that I had in the running game is the run protection from the line. The run blocking was something that I questioned from the beginning of the year but once guys like Stecker and Thomas got behind the line and did well running I shifted the blame from the line to Bush.

I'm with you on the WR's but there are good and serviceable players there and one stud. I wouldn't be too upset if the team brought in a WR or two in FA but not at the expense of missing out on some good defensive players. The team needs players at CB, DL, LB, even kicker before worrying about WR. Meachem will be under some serious scrutiny from the team and it's fans next season. I sure hope that he's up to the challenge.
