Saints' Staff are Gamblers

Well, like the ocean waves, we've passed over an interesting point...

504, you raised an interesting point in brining up the off season moves over our division rivals. I haven't paid too close attention to them, but I was underwhelmed by their performances in the draft. Are there key additions that have you especially nervous, or is it just a general malaise?

JK, I will speak for myself.

This time of year invites malaise.

p.s. your AB quote is my all time favorite!

Right up there with "I am a top five quarterback in this league."

So does that make the owners Kraken? Cause that kind of makes sense.

Not really malaise. More like respect.

When you get a mo, take a look at the new additions to, Panthers, Eagles and Bears.

I am thinking 'degree of difficulty' when it is time to go up against these teams.

Panthers twice and Bears once. We will only see the Eagles again if we make it to Post-season.

The Panthers are bigger at OL and now have a serious backfield. Stewart and Williams. They want to emphasize the running game, but they now have, Muhammad, Hackett, Smith and Jarrett at WR, along with new TE Barnidge.

They look much more balanced and therefore harder to defend.

On D they are stacked at LB, solid at the safety position and have added more bodies at DL.

504 makes good points about our competition this year. We have an easier schedule however(according to last year's records). simply adding one or two key players does not make those teams superbowl contenders tho. that was my argument for bringing in shockey. the eagles added asante samuel whom, IMO, was the only key offseason move for them. with samuel and lito on the corners they will have a dominant pass defense. however, the bears and panthers are up in the air. we normally dont beat the bears and if we lose to them(i penciled us in for a loss there) it wont hurt our chances for a superbowl. the panthers usually split the series with us so im not worried about that either. whether we split the series or not, they will not sweep us simply because our offense is so dominating and their defense will not match up

	If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
