Well, the man 's entitled to his opinion, no matter how stupid it is.

It merits asking...especially since Byrd's surgery was precautionary and he is 100%.

Actually that is one concern I agree with. We don't know if he is 100% or not. Even if he is 100% the fact that the surgery was so recent the injury could get reaggravated easily. On the other hand I have a hard time believing Loomis would have brought him in with a contract like that if he thought he was an injury risk.

Ummmm I think after hitting gold with Brees Loomis takes way more risks on injured players.

The Saints are one season off the "worst defense in history". They were embarrassed on Monday Night Football last season against the Seahawks.

In a former Panther beat writers opinion, the Saints still have to prove themselves. That's fair enough.

The Saints have the opportunity to show Gantt doesn't really know what he was talking about. I honestly believe most sports writers don't know any more about football than we do. In my opinion, I think he under rated quite a few things and it would be easy to make a counter argument to his "weaknesses", but really, what would it matter.

The proof is in what happens on the field. Only time will tell. Someone should bookmark this thread and next offseason we can compare it to what actually happened. Might be more interesting than discussing pictures of Rob Ryan and number of pizzas he's got.

No "almost" about it. We definitely have more talent on defense than we do on offense.

Laughingly, they rank the Packers at #5, despite admitting the Packers defense is terrible and admitting that their overall roster is "JV" caliber (their words, not mine).

The Dude · 07-20-2014, 02:37 PM

That's asinine. 4 potential all pro plus a future hall of fame CB. Yea no talent there. I would say we almost have less talent on offense than defense.

Well then let's shut them up!
Bring on the season.

I think 6 is fair. Maybe a little low. But we have a chance to be really really good

hagan714 · 07-20-2014, 10:17 PM

biggest concern is not the outside of the defense it is the middle. the saints did little to nothing at all to improve the depth on the dL or at MLB.

lets hope the question marks get answered during camp and some gems step up

Don't we also get a pretty good linebacker back named Butler and a rookie corner to add depth. Dude is a straight hater. Barring injury we will win the superbowl and I cant wait to see the look on Rogers fake ass face.
