Danno

Right here. And it was a 5th AND a 7th in a draft that we only had 4 picks.

Still wasn't a smart move in my opinion. He's a punter, the least important position on a football team.

At least he looks like he'll be a good one though.

Glad we got him, but we paid too much.

C'mon, Danno...we won the SB. It must have been the right move...no? BTW...do you remember pressing me for my prediction for the year?

Danno

Didn't you refused to predict or speculate on anything?

Were you one of the ones who said "we're 8-8 until we prove otherwise"?

Saint_LB

I didn't want to predict, but you pressed me...I can't remember exactly how it went down...but when pressed, I said we'd go 11-5, beating the Giants in the NFCCG, having people in NY re-evaluating their stance on Eli, and go on and beat the Pats to win the SB.

I got the SB win part right, and making people doubt a Manning...only it was Peyton and not Eli. They got people doubting Eli much sooner than I expected.

heres the thing.....we have 53 players on the active roster......some of those players dont see any playing time at all

obviously the punter is not the least important because he is on the field anywhere from 5 to 10 times every game.....not to mention our punter has kickoff duty

a punter that can put the ball anywhere on the field from anywhere on the field is priceless.....you say we paid too much, i say we stole him with only 2 picks

back to the thread.......i have 2 picks for hero of the game.....first of all, jabari greer. dude shut down reggie wayne the entire game. shut down pierre garcon on every play he was in. the only TD pass against us all game was when jabari greer was out of the game. Tracy porter is going to get a lot of praise this next season but jabari greer is our best corner

my next pick is Jon Stinchcomb. All we heard all week was how jermon bushrod is going to stack up against dwight freeney. well robert mathis was arguably a more dangerous player in the super bowl because of the injury. and mathis did all of what? i'll save you the trouble. mathis had 0 tackles

also when we were stuffed at the goalline twice in a row on 3rd and 4th down, stinch was the only lineman to hold his blocks. streif, shockey, and evans all choked when it came down to the goalline. stinch got his block and got down to the ground like you are supposed to so the RB can jump over you if need be

Hartley, andGreg Wiliams who kept us in the game the whole night.

I am proud of then all, but Hartley, for his age and experience level, was right down the middle all night! Very impressed with him! He didn't get rattled, did he? Also proud of our linemen who kept Drew safe almost all night.....they did a great job! Just everyone!

I agree. I made that point last night. Garret Hartley is a big reason we won that game. Without his 40+ yard kicks, we just don't have the momentum to stay in the game. I'm not saying the game is lost, but man how big were those kicks he made?
Garret Hartley...on my list of all time Saints heros.

Yo for sure, but I also thought MJ had a couple of pretty good plays too. Vilma was out of this world too. I thought Roby made a few good plays too!!

I have to say it was Colston.. after the DROP he could have went into a shell, but he went all out...
