i spose i aint in the best of moods today as i considered the team and the lack of aggressiveness to make improvements. i'm not one much for each person's proclamation that "this is the year donte breaks out big" or "i got a feeling the defense is gonna really gel". gimme some substance or make a case why such should be thought. well, i have one of those feeling things today. the only basis of reasoning is past track record. i hope it aint so, but this it is it...

the need to move howard and create cap space to spend that $8mil on team needs that are much more pressing than keeping 3 starting de's. to me it is like a bright red flashing alarm with a siren wailing. i do not think it is in the front office though. that line they came out with that we can keep him and use 3 defensive ends at a time sucks the hope out of me. i remembered a situation last year that i would not doubt much the same happening here. mackenzie held out in green bay and demanded a trade. the saints were ready to offer a second round pick before the season started (so it seems). they held on for a first since cb's are in such great demand. it never came. near the trade deadline he ends up in nawlins for the same second rounder initially offered plus a throw in 3rd strng qb. it is hard for me to believe there is no offer of a 2nd or 3rd round pick for howard standing. sometimes ya can be too smart or greedy for your own good. move him! those dollars could sign a hartwell and have some left over for other business. i'm just laying on the couch for therapy from my saints fan doctors. tell me my fears that we will be using 3 defensive ends until near the trade deadline then he is moved for a 3rd or 4th round pick are only that. tell me they will not try to outsmart the rest of the league. no, just tell me they will make some sort of prudent move in regard to this. hepp me, hepp me, i dont wanna wear a bag on my head again mommy.
