Sure there is Saintfan - and go back and read every Brooks post between you and I. I ALWAYS stated that the defense was the LARGEST problem with the team. If you remember, I always said that just because one problem exists doesn\'t mean that another does not. NEVER did I say Brooks was THE problem with the team. I did say his play was A problem at the end of the year, and I did criticize the coaches for not playing Delhomme - you\'re damn right.

That being said, you\'re right. I have been very negative of late. So I\'ll say this: the Deuce move was brilliant - one I openly criticized and was definitely wrong about. I will say part of my concern was his ability to shoulder the burden for a whole season without injury and the lack of backups at that position, which turns out to be a problem even today... however... the man is a stud. A true star in the making. Donte is also the real deal, if he can just stay healthy. I\'m a little worried about that, but if he can, look out. I also think Conwell will make a big difference this season. I praised that move when they made it and still do (you weren\'t around Saintfan).

On defense I think the T Jones move was the right thing to do. I\'m not sure he\'ll pan out, but it was right. I like Grant and love Howard. Those two guys can be Pro Bowlers if they ever get help from the DTs or blitzing LBs. Derrick Rodgers was a really nice pickup also. He may be the best of the offseason.

Listen man, as I\'ve said MANY times before, I hope I am wrong. I hope the Saints are awesome. I hope they win it all and prove me flat wrong. I really do. I used to work in the markets and now I work in homeland security. Try dealing with what I deal with all day long and see how positive you are.

In my current line of work, if you ignore warning signs you\'re asking for a HUGE problem. Well, all of you guys see analysts saying they COULD be good and assume they\'re right. I hear a lot of people outside of the Gulf South saying 8-8. I hope that the hometown boys are right, but I prepare for the worst. You\'re right, that is how I live my life. And while I\'m sure you think I\'m a miserable terrible person - I\'m a generally happy go lucky kind of guy. Know why? B/c I always expect the worst, and rarely get it, and that ensures that I continue to be pleasantly surprised rather than slowly go insane.

I don\'t know what your story is Saintfan, but I don\'t come after you. Ever since the Brooks debate all you do is come after me. What\'s that about? You\'re an eternal optimist... good for you. Congrats. Remind me how that makes you more knowledgeable, more correct, or even a better person than me?
