I thought Trevin Wade played fairly well the past two games?

Keenan Lewis is only 27, still in his prime?

Who else is hoping Jimmy breaks the goal post? I know it would pump us up.

In the playoffs, I can foresee a 15 yard excessive celebration flag... Or if Roger has his way, take the TD away for taunting or something...

Dome Patrol vs 2013 Defense? For discussion's sake how about we combine the front 7? Imagine that! Inside backers Mills, V. Johnson, Lofton, and Hawthorne. Outside backers Jackson, Swilling, Turnbull and Junior. Defensive Line of Jordan, Hicks, Bunkley, W. Martin, F. Warren, and J. Wilks.

The Dome Patrol had to compensate for years on the offensive scheme called by Carl Smith, too, which put the Patrol at the disadvantage more times than not and their special teams coverage sucked back then too. So the 2013 defense has the advantage from just that standpoint. Carl Smith could arguably still be the worst offensive coordinator of all time for any team ever. I'm nothing special, but at the age of 10 I was rocking about 75% of calling his plays before the huddle even broke. That man was awful at his job.

Speaking of special teams...can we finally confirm that crappy special teams coverage units are a staple of Saints football? From a historic perspective, it has been a must for this team since at least 1981.

Man I can't wait to see this D next year with a nice ball hawk safety, depth at CB, and a smashmouth LB, I'm getting all tingly at the thought of it!

Lol anything that draws a flag for excessive celebration and a 15 yard penalty (attached to the kickoff) from the refs is looked upon at silly, childish, selfish, and stupid by some of the members in here. I guess you already know win or lose I would love it.....
