That first preseason game will be awkward as hell... I wonder if Payton will even speak to Gregg Williams.

The Colts game is prime time

at least we get 1 NFC team this year ... even if they do own us
and, we just had Tenn 2 years ago

You're only 3 states away, drive thru New Mexico and Texas and you're practically here!

You're 1,800 miles away. At 150 MPH you can be in New Orleans in 12 hours! What's her problem?

Tell her there is a new Neiman Marcus Last Call opening on River Walk.

I don't think we need to stick around for the ending to see how this one 'goes'

I like it.

Rams - who cares
Titans - who cares, cut some folks
Colts - play against a GOOD and unfamiliar team in the game that shows the most of what we have (similar to Texans last year)
Ravens - close out against a decent-to-middling team, to make our final tweaks and cuts

Exactly my question, the Saints have traded home field with Houston for many years in the preseason.


This site lays them out pretty well with TV time and broadcaster, its less cumbersome to use than nfl.com on a mobile device.

Its Saints football, everybody cares.

I'd watch 3 hours of a Black and Gold Scrimmage if they'd televise it.

ohhhh you'd watch more than 3 hours. :lolup:

You'd watch the three hour broadcast, then watch the recording you made a few times over. :bng:

I know it will not happen but I'd like to see Sean break the preseason down into each game having a focal point.

Game 1 100% passing
Game 2 100% rushing

From my point it makes evaluation of the offense much easier.

I remember the Pats did a barely all rushing game or drive last preseason.

Yeah, I know. I meant it more like, Rams and Titans, who cares about them -- it will be a good pair of games to just throw some talent out there and evaluate it, but I"m not exactly gonna be super pumped up for those two particular opponents or games.

I remember Vince Lombardi used pre-season strictly to evaluate and work on certain packages. I think they frequently lost all 6 games nealy every year, then stomped ass during the season.

I've always wondered why more coaches don't just use these games as a practice.

Like you said, maybe one preseason game you never punt. It tests your 4th down conversion team and lets you see how the defense reacts if they have to cover a short field.

Or in another game, punt a lot to work on coverage units, even on 3rd down if necessary.

Or perhaps use an entire half to do nothing but run the ball to work on run blocking/power run game. You can probably combine this with the extra punting, or the going for it on every 4th down.

Because its a production first and a sport second especially preseason. Most fans wouldn't be too happy about buying tickets to see Brees but getting 4 Qtrs of running backs.
