Final cuts are in and except for a couple moves over the next week we now see what the saints put together for this year. Are you Impressed?

I am not! I hate always sounding like a pessimist this year but I don't see any reason why I should be optimistic about this team. Saints knew in the middle of last season what their weaknesses were and what they needed to improve. I don't see where they made any progress at all in those areas. I think the roster today is worse then the roster the team started with last year.

QB - same as last year --good
rb - no depth, deuce is da stud though!
wr - same as last year ---good
OL - same as last year -- maybe a little worse,
Def. line - a little more improved but nothing great -- yet?
LB - a make shift group, may be faster but none would be a starter on many other teams
CB - dale carter and a group of players who would not start elsewhere, no depth
safety- - T-buck is an improvement but then what?

Head coach - same as last year -- appears weak, In offseason brought in other coaches to help teach him and his staff. ?? What the F___?
Off Coord - same as last year ---half season wonder? can he adjust game plan or will he be just as predictable?
def. Coord - same as last year --- any sign he knows what he is doing? Can he translate the schemes in his head onto the field?
Asst coaches - same as last year

From my view I don't see any improvement from last year. If you asked Haslett if he thought this team is good enough to win the NFC what do you think his honest answer would be?
