Offseason To-Do List Gets Longer
 

The four main points (I totally agree with) are:

Get a pass rush.
Find an elite WR
Overhaul return and coverage teams
Find more RB's

New Orleans Saints' offseason to-do list gets longer | NOLA.com

Elite WR? That's interesting... I'd put that at the bottom of the list. We definitely need to beef up the defensive line... that's a must. While some may not want him, if Haynesworth can be had for a mid round pick, I want him here next to Ellis.

I have no respect for Haynesworth. What a slob out there on the field! He was paid too much and produced zilch. Don't care what you think about the company. If you are getting paid, then do your job.

I think Haynesworth will want too much money...

Weren't WE supposed to get that guy (Lynch) who added the final insult to the injury yesterday? I think we need someone like him, Steven Jackson - Maurice Jones Drew - (Marion Barber even?!?) to do the power - thing.

As far as DEFENSE goes... Something miraculous has to happen in the off season. Ouch... Those high(low)lights, I cannot even watch.

Find an elite WR ???

Haynesworth not a Coach Payton type player. NOT A SAINT

i think i agree with papz. our wr's would seem more elite if drew didn't hit so many different ones, if that makes sense to anyone. connecting with fewer receivers would give them better stats. a better d-line would also help the lb's and secondary.

We have some of the best WR in the NFL. Colston Moore Meachem and just wait I bet AA will have a bigger role next year,

I wouldnt say WR... I def think we will be fine there... PASSS RUUUSSHHH.... damn that would make so much a bigger difference.... LB RB...

I wouldn't rule out a wide receiver ... Colston seems to disappear at times and look at how handy Jimmy Graham came in this year.

I think we just need a few key additions on defense and we'll be fine. I think we need to take a long hard look at the special teams coaching and the training/conditioning staff.

WR upgrades are not needed. That's kind of a silly thing to say. Factor in that we have a developing TE that is going to be a beast, and we're set. Also, as someone already stated, AA should see more action, hopefully. We desperately need a pass rush, and help on special teams. More than anything though, after watching that game yesterday, we need a practice. Our tackling and ball awareness on defense was absolutely horrible. We lost to quite possibly the worst team to ever make the playoffs. There are no excuses.

A couple DE beasts like Julius Peppers - Javon Kearse-types would have people like Mike Vick, Tom Brady, and ugh... Matt Hasselhoff shhitting their pants.

Hey! A shout out to Tracy Porter. He Balls!

The Saints already have the WR's in place, problem was the down field passing game was mostly non-existent throughout the year. Get the blocking schemes improved, get the running game, and the down field passing game will be back. Teams had no issues getting pressure on Brees, so it was easy to rush four and drop a couple guys deep to protect against the deep passing game. Much improvement is needed in the running game, must get guys who can stay healthy!!!

Exactly. Nail on the head Matthew.

Elite rush DE to bookend Smith. Another quality body in the DT spot. 2 OLB's with athleticism pass rush ability. Possible upgrade at either offensive tackle spot. Find some guys who are great special teamers. One of the biggest things we missed and I haven't seen it said yet is Courtney Roby!! Other than that we're good.

We already have an elite WR. We have two of them: Marques Colston and Adrian Arrington, if Sean Payton would ever allow him to get out there and play!
