ANY Positive Thoughts
 

I wonder if any of you had something positive about the saints to share?

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

Free Agency and the draft have proven that SP and the front office are well aware of the problems that hindered us last season and are actively trying to get it fixed

No pressure on the opposing QB - multiple college sack leaders drafted
Not enough time for Drew - 1 all pro signed, 1 potential pro bowler drafted
Not physical enough on D - bigger corners signed in FA and drafted

This makes me feel positive.

We drafted LBs
This is the most talented team we've ever fielded
We've actually got speed everywhere
It feels like a bounce back year after being humiliated last year
We have a very favorable schedule
Atlanta already had their once a decade sweep over us

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

The DB and LB situation seems very promising - hopefully we won't see any major injuries on either side of the ball during the OTAs.

The defensive front is a question mark still - there's talent there, but can the coaches put the guys in the best situation in order to succeed and will the guys take full advantage of those opportunities?!

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

I'm positive that this season will be much improved from last season. Very positive.

As screwed up as things can be, we signed a talented, albeit raw, offensive guard named Doniel Gambrell, and the guy getting a shot is what you tell young people America is all about...can't be much positive than the example this young man has set forth...

one week and counting. rookie camp baby

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

As this is a Yes or No question ......Yes, of course!

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

Here's a highlight video of all our draft picks together; I see lot's of positives!

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

I dont think there is one thing not to like about what has gone on so far this offseason. Needs are met, we have a great group of young guys along with enough veterans to bring them along slowly and still win now, we are planning for the future, and we are going to look like a completely different team. I think this is the most physical teams we have seen under Payton. I see us committing more to the run. We have pieces in place to not only get ahead but to stay ahead in games and finish strong.

We get to see what Byrd can do. Im excited about that.

One place to focus on is WR but I think we will address it if one is not already here. Like someone else said I think the fact that we have more talent on the O line will help the guys we already have.

Im more excited this year than I have been in a long time.

Kind of wierd feeling to have an offseason with no holdout, no bountygate, no players union drama etc.

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

I'm engaged and feeling real positive about that...

Today the players spent time with their mothers

The kool-aid tastes different this year leading to a new kind of sweet taste.

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

Most exciting offseason since 2006!

This team's makeup is eerily similar to 2009, at least on offense.

Excited to see the rebound efforts from:
Jordan
Hicks
Jenkins
Vaccaro
Byrd
Evans
Colston
Toon
Cooks

And the new pieces:
Spiller
Browner
Unger
S. Anthony
Kikaha
Williams
Tull
Davison

Everyone is 0-0. The Failclowns, Panzies and Yucks, don't look to be much improved on paper. The Saints drafted three LB's and two CB's who all attack the ball. The Saints brought in defensive coaching help in Allen. The Saints seem to desire a more balanced offense with a greater emphasis on the running game. The levees are holding. There's always great food and entertainment around town.

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

I think the Saints have done well in the off-season!

We have had to say goodbye to some players that most of us would have thought would be around for longer than they were but nothing stays the same for long in the NFL and that's given us a chance to get major problem areas sorted (hopefully!) on defence and freshen things up on other areas of the team.

It will also be good to see the guys that were injured last year back on the field where they belong (Hey there Mr Cooks!) so lets hope they can ALL stay healthy for this season and get the Saints into the post-season this year!

I can't wait for the season to start again!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!! :-)

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

we're still 0-0 with 16 games left and still have a shot at the superbowl

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

No, two "Unanimous Sources" told me the front office has no plan for the upcoming season. In fact any player can start at any position they choose

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

Just praying for a healthy season...

Re: ANY Positive Thoughts
 

I am positive.

Looking for a 9-7, 10-6 season.
The W col. is all that matters on a Sunday night.

Looking to see improvements and learning from last years' costly mistakes.
I noticed Saints only have 3 primetime games this year.
Primetime goes to the winners. Exciting teams.
