2015 New Orleans Saints Season Anticipation

halloween 65 · 07-23-2015, 03:05 PM

I'm looking forward to see if the O complements the D and how the D compliments the O. Turnovers will be the key along with close games to see if this season we are a finness team or the real thing.

I hope we come out running strong behind a solid line. No one is expecting that and, if it happens, Drew will not be talked about as being in decline.

Wow, Im liking what Im reading here. Of course, we're homers, but also, I know this board for telling things the way they are, when they're bad.

If the O-Line really is what we're propping it up to be, and C.J. Spiller (I totally missed this aquisition, man, how did we land him?) (...and the Doobie Brothers broke up too?) (really old, ghey movie reference) --- If the O-Line really does
become elite, PLUS we get a real running game, think about it:

-- we can control the ball, to take pressure off the D.
-- we can seal a lead.
-- we can finally punch it in on the goal line, which has been a problem in the
Payton Era.

I'd love to see it.

There was no option for "Coming Back to The City I Love, New Orleans. I had to sit out the '14 Season, and win or lose, I'm
coming back, and I'm pumped. Also, I have gained some new freedom, and so I'll be able to hang out with any of you on the Board, who
go to the games, do more tailgating, more bar hopping, more NOLA fun.

'76, I really believe the Defensive Line is very good, it was limited by injuries starting with John Jenkins Torn Pectoral Muscle going into last year's training camp...

And with the addition of the rookie linebackers, and added maturity of Edebali, Powell, plus Spencer, we'll be zone blitzing the hell out of passers and using our defensive line to stack those running lanes...

But, you're right, should've thrown it up on the wall and see if it had stuck...

Stephone Anthony. Our offense will be fine... I'm psyched to have some athleticism at LB again.

Must be something wrong with that poll since I can't choose "All of the above"...

So there's my answer - our front seven is the group I'm most anticipated about.

I chose "end of long offseason" since our season basically ended in November of 2014...
