6. New Orleans (6-1). The more I watch this team, the more I think about 2009. Only with Jimmy Graham, Kenny Stills and Darren Sproles as upgrades over their peers of four years ago.

This Dline has the potential to be truly great. Hicks, Jenkins and Jordan all have the potential to be stars for a long time. Foster and Walker ain't slouches either.

Dare I say as good as the 2000 squad with Hand, Glover, Johnson and Howard?

I missed so much of that season! Living in Ca. at the time I saw and heard very little about the saints. The only way to catch a game was to get up early on a Sunday and rive around try to find a sports bar that was showing the game. Not always an easy task. It wasn't till 2002 that I discovered this forum.

Very uncommon thing going on with the D. I posted before the season it seldom happens that a new, even with experience, DC has much success the first year. I think it's maybe 20% of the time they make the playoffs...we're not there yet but we are beating on the door with two fists. This team won't be as magical like that team but I could see them being better overall.

Peter King is useless

I think our overall D is better aswell, 2009's D lived off turnovers and sometimes struggled to get teams off the field on 3rd down

Plus in 2009 we gave up over 25 points a game, we only allowed 1 team to score above 17 on us this season

One difference I'll point out is that that year we beat New England.

That season we also had some spectacular plays and ball bouncing in our direction. Example - the INT by the Redskins followed by the strip and TD return on in the same play.
