Saints head coach Sean Payton says he is generally pleased with the 13-7 win over the Chargers

Yes, it was preseason.
Yes, preseason isn't always an indicator of regular season success.

But, as a former coach pointed out last week, individual performances certainly do matter. And based on what we saw Sunday night numerous players looked really good relative to the situation.

Speed, technique, assignment discipline, enthusiasm, cohesiveness, communication all looked better than we've seen in several years.

Those are the things that really matter in pre-season, and it looked like a marked improvement over years past.

In my humble opinion its a lot to be "excited" about.

Of course if we lose our top 5 LB's or CB's before game two, things could get ugly pretty fast
