Also everyone loves Collins, but I'd rather have a FB/RB hybrid like a Snelling or Tolbert. Someone who is a legit run threat. I'd kill for a young Tony Richardson. The main difference I see between your typical championsship teams and the2013 Saints is that we shoot ourselves in the foot on offense. Elite teams do not. |

We have had injuries, and yet to have important players be healthy two years straight. What if Colston or Moore get hurt next year? Can we trust Morgan? Considering the division we are in, even though Carolina won it this year we are still gonna be the team gunned after especially after Carolina's performance at home today. Everyone in the division is out to get us more than anyone else. |

The O-line play was the glaring problem in my opinion. |

Re: Solutions for 2014
A legitimate physical TE is needed for sure. Graham is a legitimate red zone stud and is probably best suited to play the roll of a number 3 WR. Noticed the running game did not even start to get going this season until Ben Watson was playing more. As much as I love Graham, he is a complete blocking liability and also does not do much of anything when he gets physical coverage on the line.
Of course more secondary and linebacker help is needed. Some depth at OL, maybe Charles Brown can push for the RT job??? As for WR I do believe some upgrades are necessary, but may already be set. Can probably get one more good year out of Colston and Moore, I think Stills can become a number 1 type of receiver. Throw in Morgan returning from injury, and bring back Meachem for another year. Oh yeah, lets not forget about the kicker... lol |

Re: Solutions for 2014
I don't think the better players is as big of a problem as you are making it, we need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

Re: Solutions for 2014
I think the Saints could upgrade on the OL, tackle, guard (depth) and center for sure
But I thought they played pretty well yesterday. The Seahawks are a great defense. That's what they do. Is there an OLine in the league that dominates them in Seattle? We got over a hundred yards rushing and Drew was only sacked once. He was hurried a LOT but it's the freakin Seahawks. |

Re: Solutions for 2014
Funny stuff. I will sum up the issues like this: pass protection, pass protection, pass protection and pass protection.
The Brees and Graham comments on here are absolutely hilarious. ![]() |
