Retaining 14 players is good news. This means we are not the same team we were then. Therefore we should not expect the same path to a super bowl. There is more than one way to get there. New blood should bring some fresh ideas, abilities & contributions to a good nucleus. It all remains to be seen.

Does this mean that we suck and will never win another game? I mean... It kind of looks like that. :help:

It may be petty to point out but Goodwin was gone for a bit.

No!!!!!!

Re: Only 14 players left from '09 Saints-Vikings
 

The year of the Super Bowl run, we had plays scripted 15 in advance.

NOW, we script plays with 15 seconds remaining on the "snap" clock.

As was Meachem.

Re: Only 14 players left from '09 Saints-Vikings
 

Seven starters still on offense starting. If you include Morstead all 8 of our Remaining players are starters, or key contributors like PT and Meachem.

The old guys need to bring their rings in to the locker room, to show to the young guys, and get them fired up, this is what it's all about. They need a win badly, it's almost elimination time already, win or go home. Nobody on the current defense that was there in the NFCCG. I think it shows?

Re: Only 14 players left from '09 Saints-Vikings
 

Yep, and notice that 6 of those 8 players are probably in the top 10 players on our roster?

Here's another motivator... show all the young guys what release papers look like.
