this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I also think that we are learning from trying and failing to fit a square peg in a round hole. Like Vaccaro being the FS he is meant to be and putting other players in a position to be effective. ...

Did we actually fix our D and our O-Line in the same season? Seems too good to be true. |

It is no coincidence that they are also arguably the best two individual players on the roster. Over half of the coaches have also been replaced, as well as the entire scouting staff, over that same period.

I thought SP was ready to be checked into a retirement home because he never seemed bothered by the team getting destroyed, and yet the guy still has some fire left. I'll happily accept I was very wrong, let's just keep going one game at a time. Mondays are so much sweeter this season. |

And while I think we have reached a point in the process where we are serious SB contenders, I expect those improvements to continue for the next few years. We have the cap space to keep the veteran players we need (Cam, Ingram and Brees) and the entry level contracts of the younger players to keep that cap as a no issue moving forward.
