The Saints did not win a single preseason game in '15 or '16

Will this year be different? Does it really make a difference?

I think it will be different. Does it matter? Usually I would say no, but given the depth of the squad our third string should be able to handle the Browns. If they can't then it does mean something.

We also went 7-9 both years so I'd say something needs to change and it should start with setting the tone early and winning in the preseason.

^^^^^^^^^^^. Building confidence and implant a sense of winning. A relatively young team (on both sides of the ball) need to develop trust & belief. We cannot let Osweiler

slang the ball up and down the field on us.

Circle back to that magical 2009 pre season ... We were dominating teams in pre season. I agree, this team needs to win early, even in pre season.

I think everyone knew we had something special when preseason was started in 09, even Chris Reis was forcing fumbles.

We had lost multiple times to the Texans previously and dominated them in 09 preseason, that's when I could tell something was diifferent.

I just remember the offense doing whatever they felt like, and then in the third game I think we played the Raiders and it was just terrible what we did to them.

I am less concerned with wins with how we look. Last preseason our entire team looked bad. Offense looked terrible. Signing Evans helped the oline, but how we looked in preseason was not good.

Exactly. Preseason shows me plenty.

Want to see our guys engaged, enthused, and efficient. Not sloppy and disorganized.
