“The Saints are really good,” Manning said. “They’re really good — what (coordinator) Rob Ryan did with their defense last year, and they’ve still got (coach) Sean Payton and (quarterback) Drew (Brees).

“I think the Saints’ line-up on paper to start the season is maybe as strong as I’ve ever seen before.”

Archie Manning: 2014 Saints may be the best in franchise history

OMG Football can't get here soon enough - but this is Archie, this is Saints Gospel...

I completely, totally 100% agree with him. The roster as it stands right now has no real weakness at any position. We have plenty of elite players, a ton of depth and one of the very best coaches there is.

2 of the very best coaches

What matters the most is can we stay healthy? Just imagine if we could get through a season without losing multiple starters for the season. We have the talent but can we put it on the field at the same time? I remember everyone was down on our conditioning coach because we lost so many players to IR.

It really is the strongest team the Saints have ever had. I would say the OL is a concern, we may have trouble running the ball effectively but the defense should give us enough mulligans to compensate when we get bogged down.

Just get the ball to Cooks on a screen or two and problem solved...

A lot of people are saying that. The eagles had a paper team too once. This is where good coaching and locker room leadership is going to make all the difference. That's what we have that the Eagles didn't.

The Iggles had a team of name guys. We have a team of damn good football players.

Paper only it doesn't = a Super Bowl win. I do agree with Archie.

The wheel route was pretty effective with Sproles...
