Edit: There's seems to be much talk about players not developing under Haslett. While I agree that there's been some things that haven't worked out, in the intrest of getting to the truth, I decided to see exactly what players have done well. There's some more, like Terrell Smith that have developed here, but I thought the players I listed are a good example that Haslett and Co. have done a pretty good job of developing talent.

Now let's hope that Haslett can get some of the other young guys on our team to step up this year. If that happens, we might surprise some folks.....GO SAINTS!!
