NY Times picks Saints #1 in South

I'll said it before and I'll say it again. The one thing our offense really missed that a lot of people have over looked is the departure of Bell. We won a lot of games because of his running... it enabled Payton to run the clock out and keep the ball out of other teams hands. One could argue that was a key ingredient in the SB run.

Enter - Ingram.

Our D was #4 in the league last year. Yes they let us down in that playoff game, but injuries on offense had a big play and what went down last year. We could not get enough healthy RBs on the feild at one time to establish any kind of rythem and the games were placed directly on Drews shoulders.
