Well, no excuses now, if Okafor is healthy, we've got the pass rushers now to make it an honest pass rush...

For a quick second I forgot about Trey. He did some good things but more importantly he gained valuable playing time. I expect him to be better in season #2. Having good to above average pass rushers is always a good thing come late December/January.

Side note - any news on the rehab with Okafor this off season? The initial "burst" is critical at his position. He's relatively young so hopefully he will heal fast.

I read some time back that he was well ahead of schedule. It said something about possibly being ready as early as June.

Source: Saints to re-sign resurgent defensive end Alex Okafor | Saints | theadvocate.com

Okafor signed with the Saints last year on a one-year deal and was enjoying a breakout season before suffering a torn Achilles in November. He finished the year with 4 1/2 sacks through 10 games.

He is said to be recovering well from the injury and the hope is that he'll be ready to play by the start of the season. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis was even more optimistic, placing the timeline at the start of training camp during an appearance on WWL radio.

Update: From Nick Underhill, no relation to Ted Underhill...

John Fullington, Landon Turner, and Ryan Ramcyzk were at Strief's retirement party a few weeks back. Fullington is a really nice guy. He and Turner are no where near Ram's size. I was standing next to Ram when talking to Fullington and didn't even realize someone was next to me until Fullington pointed him out. And someone in NOLA knows how to make some serious "Skyline" chili. I asked Strief about it and he didn't name the chef/caterer. If you've never had it, order some
