I'll be blunt this morning. Winning comfortably requires having a consistent and cohesive defense that can get off the field in the clutch and take the ball away.

There is not yet any concrete evidence that is the case. The last concrete evidence we have is a defense giving up nearly 30 points and nearly 3 TD passes per game.

Ask the question again October 1st and we'll have more reliable data to make an assessment.

We don't know what we are as a whole yet. It's infuriating and exciting all at the same time.

If the Saints coaching staff figures out the GUARD situation, play sound fundamental defense & the offense "clicks" again ...

Those teams on the schedule will need to be worried about us. I think we have assembled a talented group of players via FA/draft this off season. Chemistry and coaching up talent will become paramount.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
