Offense-unit analysis

Sure the WRs underachieved this season. Welcome to Jim Haslett football. If it\'s not one group it\'s the other. Horn played poorly early, but the whole team played poorly early. Horn was hurt for a while, as was Stallworth. Donte\'s injuries are certainly becoming a concern, but it\'s hard to say the receivers let the team down when your two starters were hurt for more than half the year. We certainly need more production out of that area, but I can\'t think of any other time in Saints history in which our receivers have been as productive as they have been the last three or four years. Our WRs are better than they\'ve ever been, but I will definitely concede that there is room for improvement.

As for our O-line. I think it\'s fine. If anything, we need a stud at LT and let Gandy play out his career on the right. Our interior is good, and will only get better. Whenever Fontenot decides to retire he will be replaced with someone younger and probably stronger, but less experienced and less of a leader on the line. Our line is fine guys - maybe a stud LT, but that\'s about it.
