Ya know and that is just it. Since when did being honest about the team equate to negativity? If the team has been 7-9 4 of the last 5 years that is a fact. It isn't negative or positive, it just is.

I have seen Dizzle and you point out areas of concern and areas of excitement. That's being honest. The loss of Unger is concerning. He is a really good center. The loss of Armistead is concerning he is a very good left tackle. Couple that with the fact that he just signed a huge contract and hasn't been healthy since is even more worrisome. The situation with Fairley is a concern because he was really good for us last year.

Positive areas are that Unger's fill in has been doing well. Kamara sounds like he could be a real stud. This Undrafted Rookie Maulet. Breaux sounds finally healthy and playing well. Lattimore sounds like the real deal. PJ if he can stay healthy is good. We could have a rally good backend.

Pros and cons. That's what it is as a fan. Not everything is good and not everything is bad.

I agree with that last part. I am glad you are taking it to heart. Oh, and thanks for the reminder about those 7-9 years. I had almost forgotten about them.

And, yes, it would be a shame if Fairley could not return and the Saints had to eat some of his guarantees. What's done is done. Time to move on.

Ted Ginn looking like a good fit too and Peat seems to finally be getting it. If we can start strong with the younger guys on the offensive line by the time Armstead and Unger get back we could be in a really great spot.
Again we have to win one of the first two. I think that is key.

I am expecting Unger back by the beginning of the season. It should only be Armstead out and he was either out or playing hurt all last season and the line performed great.
