I agree with him, we just look too similar to last year. It's like a continuation of the same ol' bull-@&$?! Why should we have any hope? This is a "what-have-you-done-for-me-lately-league," right???

Similar to last year? How so?

I saw speed and passion on defense and our patchwork DB's looked better than they did in any game last year.

Looking at our schedule I'd rank the 5 toughest games as

1. @ CAR
2. @ AZ
3. @ PHL
4. @ ATL
5. DAL

We lost a close game on the road against what I'd consider our 2nd toughest game on the schedule, with 25 new players on this team, 11 rookies seeing their 1st NFL action, and several of our star players missing.

This looked nothing like last year.

Cruize

-The punt was a horrible decision. Go down swinging with Drew. If you can't get 6 yards, you might as well pack it in. He lost last years team and I just don't see improvement.
-Cooks is a really good player. Injuries cut shot his rookie season and game 1 of season 2 he was almost invisible. I personally never see him as a #1 WR in the NFL.
-The Saints have some good young talent on defense. Not a fan of the coaching. And, they lack a dynamic player at any position. The "No Name" defense will never happen again in the current NFL where the rules strongly favors the offense. A great like Ronnie Lott wouldn't last in today's league. The safeties aren't allowed to hit anybody.
-The RB's will get more chances to catch the ball than run it in Payton's offense. No surprise there.
-It is it for Colston. Can't separate at all. Takes too many hits when he does catch it. Great Saint. Should go in the ring of fame while he's still playing.

Marcus Murphy should have been given snaps on offense

This is just a taste of what a good not great D can do to our O. On the defenseless side of the ball this is a taste of what a middle of the road O can do to them, it;s going to be a long season. NT and a scheme change might work for the D and play action with a little to lot of game management for the O(ground and pound).
