Our Corners are now holding it down, but this team has also shown that they can live or die by the accountability of our safety.

This is mostly due in part to the fact that asides from an occassional blitz, the Saints have about the worst pass rush production from the front 4 in the NFL. That's why Sharper was so key, our guys up front weren't getting to the QB. They better either improve the DE position, bring in another stud safety or get Sharper paid.

Really, I'm gonna keep harping on it, because it urks me to no end that they are paying a hit-or-miss, novelty, haven't proved I'm worth it, lowest production among his counterpart, "not-really a real" running back Reggie Bush the kinda money for one season that would otherwise lock in Sharper for years. This is a mistake!

hmm.. no...

If you tell me Sharper was the catalyst for the SB run, I'll ask you to pass the dutchie by the left hand side. Rod Woodson would have not put the Saints defense over the top. The real change was the system and attitude GW brought to the defense.

There was a reason why Sharper signed with the "lowly Saints" for a cheap 1-year contract after he was released from Minnesota: nobody wanted him. Sharper benefited GREATLY from a) the play of Jabari and Tracy and b) GW's system.

And as for Reggie getting paid, stop it. Payton wants Reggie, he gets Reggie. That's that. And I am sure the stream of revenue the Saints realize from Reggie from marketing and merchandising, helps a lot also.
Besides, it is an uncapped year. So what's the difference?
