The Greatest Show on turf that won a SB in 1999 was a fluke.. Dick Vermeil did not go on to do bigger or equal things, Kurt Warner didn't go on to do bigger or equal things. Average is a comparison to peers and we are not an average offense when compared to our peers. The 2009-2013 Saints have been consistent when Sean Payton was the coach. You talk about making changes and evolution but that is exactly what happened when Spags was brought it... If it isnt broken, dont fix it. We are not broken we just have not had as good of a luck streak as we had in 2009. |

Re: Scouting breakdown: Saints offense
What exactly does that have to do with the opinion in the article of our ability to upgrade the offensive line in 2014 under the cap?
I do not play the "we do not know until we try" game. If you do not know until you try then right now there is no way to saying "yes you can upgrade the line under the cap". Not knowing does not mean you can, it means you do not know. |

It is possible to upgrade the Oline under the cap by drafting a center and using a tackle already on the roster. I didn't say I knew I merely said it was possible.

Re: Scouting breakdown: Saints offense
Now i am not sure why Triplett picked this guy as the Scout to talk to, he is not entirely accurate.

Re: Scouting breakdown: Saints offense
The number is three and I said equal or greater. Losing the SB is not equal to winning the SB. Warner was a fluke. In his 12 season career he only started 13 or more games in 4 seasons. Of a possible 192 starts he started 116 games and he didn't get off to a slow start, he was a full 16 his second year. http://www.pro-football-reference.co...m?mobile=false |

Re: Scouting breakdown: Saints offense
we have done well the past few years drafting defense and it shows
we have not drafted well on offense the past few years and it shows wr just did not appear to be hungry like they use to, injury or whatever they seem to be enjoying the pay checks a bit to much and need to be challenged OL is years of bad drafting. depth is a major issue best way to deal with the cap is through the draft and let some players go that have been here for years. trade back and get additional picks in the 2nd 3rd or even 4th round would go a long way to address the depth issues on both sides of the ball. we are not that bad of were we must use the early picks. we just need to address depth across the board. mikey will have his work cut out for him. |

Re: Scouting breakdown: Saints offense
I won't be mad if we go BPA with pick #1
Our second line of defense could use a guy like Ryan Shazier. Our WR corps needs a playmaker. I don't care what size he is. Our secondary needs a versatile cover guy who can be physical. If Bunkley goes, I'd like to see another DT/NT. Outside of that, I really don't see us going after a OL until later. |
