5 Bold Predictions for The UpComing Season

Saintaintso · 06-28-2013, 03:57 AM

I. Rob Ryan constructs a beautiful symphony of chaos defensively. Saints have a Top 10 Defense. 4th in the League in Turnovers.

II. Mark Ingrams breakout Season ... Right On Time

III. Jimmy Grahams Dominant Streak of Consecutive Games With a TD Begins

IV. Rufus Johnson the next Aldon Smith

V. Kenny Stills Immediate Impact. Cover one or two of us but not all ... Stills reminds me of a more consistent Desean Jackson.

I'm excited to see what our D looks like, but man wouldn't it be great if Rufus Johnson gets in on the rotation and causes some havoc

More commitment to the running game, less predictability will make Mark Ingram alot more successful

I'm not sure about kenny stills until training camp, I've heard he had trouble with concentration and drops easy passes (they also said that about joe morgan though)

Here's another...

19 and Eaux!

I have high hopes for Johnson and Stills, too. We made solid picks at both of those points in the draft, & I believe that the ball is definitely in their court with the pressure on them to utilize their talents and contribute. I'm curious about which side best suits Johnson's skill set. He has that "Demarcus Ware" build, which would lead me to believe that he would be in line for the same spot as Smith & Galette.

I'll drink to that.

1. Every time Ingram gets stuffed behind the line by 3 defenders the IRvory fans will scream bust.

2. Every time a CB gets beat deep, 3 or more posters will blame Roman Harper.

3. When Harper does eventually get beaten (as does every safety in the NFL), 3 or more posters will say, "see I told you he can't cover".

4. When our offense stalls with 5 straight 3 & outs and commits 4 turnovers and we lose by a FG, 3 or more posters will blame the defense.

5. No one is gonna say, I wish we had kept Shanle.

This. Especially #4.

Our defense won't be top 10, but hopefully we can be top 10 in turnovers.

God I hope it doesn't get that bad.

Here's mine:

Ingram accounts for 12+ touchdowns.

Morgan becomes a 1,000 yard receiver.

Junior Galette breaks out and becomes one of the best pass rushers in the league.

Darren Sproles leads the league in all purpose yards.

Jimmy Graham shatters all single season records for TE's.
