Denver and Manning have a phenomenal offense but for lack of a better term their defense blows and the only reason their W/L record and QB records look the way they do this season is because they are in the AFC. Dallas put up 51 on them and the Jaguars put up 19... 19 for the Jags is huge lol. The AFC was very weak in defense this season, of the top 6 defenses in the league all were NFC. Top AFC defenses, Houston, Cleveland, Buffalo <----- anyone fear those? Because of the reason above but with a different angle, when you are in an extremely defense dominant Conference having an epic defense doesn't win games if you can't put points on the board. Lastly, "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Offense or lack of was the reason we lost all of our games this season. It's broken for a Sean Payton Saints offense. I know.... I'm a Chatty Cathy today but here is another way to look at it. Ask your self: You get 1 pick, which would be the largest game winning improvement: A shut down Talib or an Andre' Johnson in the draft? My answer would be that Talib would be a marginal increase in talent but Johnson would be a +7 points per game at least. Many times in life I've tried to perfect something that was great only to screw it up in the end. |

Re: New Orleans Saints' deep-threat options were limited without Joe Morgan
I think we have some areas needing depth and/or upgrading.
On offense, O-line and WR On defense, CB FS and LB Free agency and the draft will address all of them. But ask yourself, at pick 27 there may be an A+ WR and a B+ CB. I'm taking that WR or There may be an A+ OLB and a B+ WR... I'm taking that LB. Basically its just the long version of BPA at certain areas of need, or BPA at any position if they're difference makers. |

So I'm not saying it has to be defense, but if the right guy is there I wouldn't call it a wasted pick. Just take the best player available between offensive lineman and cornerback. Don't reach for a lineman if he isn't first round material. As far as the WR corps, there is no lack of talent. It's a lack of physicality. I'm not sure we can necessarily fix that in this draft, but if we can it's going to have to wait till after the first round. We have greater needs. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: New Orleans Saints' deep-threat options were limited without Joe Morgan
How does the whole roof need to be replaced Armstead was handling business near the end....C, RT..... Of course I personally would love a new infusion of youth along with Khiry, maybe like Andre Williams.... Boston College.... But that would definitely be asking for to much.....

Re: New Orleans Saints' deep-threat options were limited without Joe Morgan
Imo as you say we need a C, RT and most of the WR are at the stage of their career thay they need to start being replaced.

Re: New Orleans Saints' deep-threat options were limited without Joe Morgan
The headline is wrong.
New Orleans Saints' deep-threat options were limited by lack of protection up front. |
