Longtime New Orleans defensive line coach John Pease returned this spring for his first off-season with the Saints in a decade.

He's starting to like the new version.

"They are very athletic. There's a lot of speed," said Pease, who got his first look at the 2004 line during last month's voluntary coaching sessions. "A couple of guys showed up a little overweight. But once they get their weight down, the speed factor should be very, very impressive."

Pease - who coached the Saints line under Jim Mora in the late 1980s and early 1990s - isn't ready to compare this group to his legendary crew during the Dome Patrol era. Not yet.
