Loved the call even thou we didn't score. I like the agressiveness.

It was the right call - even if it didn't convert to a first down or score.
First, it reminds your team that football is fun. Second, the play call gets the other team thinking instead of reacting; a split second in the NFL is a HUGE difference. Third, though FG blocks are rare in the NFL - it makes the opposition stay "home" in further FG attempts... It was early in the game and there would be plenty of more opportunities to win the game... I thought Graham made a hell of an adjustment to get as much as he did; and judging from the body language and reaction of Daniel; it seemed the throw made have been "bad." |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

That's what makes us the Saints, we take risks. Sometimes it pays off big, sometimes it doesn't. I'd rather watch the Saints do that any day than some boring conservative team.
