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 |

Re: Your un sung hero of the super bowl?
Tracy Porter gets my vote because without him, arguably, we wouldn't be in the Super Bowl (INT on Favre) and he pretty much sealed it again with the pick on Manning. Honorable mention goes to Hartley because kickers have been so inconsistent this year and he really stepped up and kept hope on our side in the Super Bowl.

Re: Your un sung hero of the super bowl?
Bill Parcells
WTF? Yes Bill Parcells; here's the thing... Parcells preaches that football boils down to offense, defense, AND SPECIAL TEAMS... Coach Payton is from the House of Parcells Coaching Lineage; he puts in AMBUSH and tells the team that the Rookie punter WILL make one onside kick, and in a Larry Bird moment tells the Referees that not if but the Saints will be kicking an onside kick; the lessons learned from the '06 NFC Championship game to get a reliable kicker... Morstead, Hartley, Roby, Bush, et cetera... So I sum up the special teams as the difference as this... Bill Parcells, Thank You Tuna... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

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. |

Hargrove is an inspiration to the team and embodies the fight the city has gone through... Also he gets good pressure up the middle when we need it.
