And that was a hell of a job keeping up with a WR in deep coverage.

I have nothing but praise for Vilma.

Goodness gracious I hope that guy retires a Saint.

I agree with everyone who was mentioned. I really thought of Henderson because I thought he did a great job picking up 3rd downs. One guy who didn't get mentioned was Greer. The guy came out and immediately we gave up a 20 yard TD pass on his side of the field. He also made a nice play on the colts last drive to draw an offensive pass interference and push them back 10 yards. So I'll give Greer a shout out for unsung hero

Good call on DH...he made some clutch catches for us.

That is still just so strange to see. I still boggle at how much "Stone Hands" has improved.

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.

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...

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.
