Training camp was spent cross training everybody everywhere and no one developed chemistry at any position. Drew spent almost no time with his current receivers and we still have TQS, Carr, getting up to speed and Cameron Meredith still coming back from a knee injury two seasons back. I've never seen Drew miss his targets this much. He needs to get the ball to someone not wearing a #13 or #41 jersey. Since Drew elevates his receivers why isn't that happening now? We are moving our O-line pieces so much it looks like we're playing checkers. Drew will settle in and I'm not worried about him. However, the O-line is a different story. This is not the same O-line that owned the power rankings last year.

The defense has struggled this off season because every time the defense plays well we get rid of several players and bring in players that we hope will be an upgrade at their position but aren't. We keep paying MLB'ers to come here and move them to another position. Why? Why can't we find packages that work? Where the Hell is Aaron Glenn and his ability to put players in the right place? Who's busting coverage? What has happened to the D-line? I know that they are playing because I can see where the announcers show the starters on the big screen. Other than the occasional penalty they are pretty much nonexistent at stopping the run or getting pressure on the QB. Davenport looks good for coming back from a groin injury while missing valuable training camp snaps. He will be a force in the future......hopefully it will be soon.

One more thing. Why does every successful Saints off season defense change the scheme so much that they out think themselves and blow assignments and look lost? Personally, I believe that Payton gets involved. He knows how to beat a good defense but not how to run a good defense. I believe that is why GW had success here. He didn't let Payton get involved and insist on copying the latest trend on defense. Payton is a brilliant strategist and offensive mind but I have no faith in his defensive strategy.
Don't forget that Williams took the main fall for the fictitious "bounty/intentional attempts to injure program". That's what really spelled the doom. Mike Cerullo was out to get Vitt and Payton with his lies, but brought down Williams much more substantially. But, once the lies were exposed Williams quickly returned to favor in the league.

If we don't turn the ball over & the D creates 2, we win. Can't have a breakdown in kick coverage.

This game is always a slobber-knocker. I actually like our chances better in Crap-lanta. SP & crew seems to get them focused for big road games.

It seems by game 3 the Saints somehow get the word that the season has started.
Must be because we are so far South and news travels slow.
One things for sure just wish we had Ingram for this game.

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT WITH NO "WHY YES I'M AND EGGSPURT AND HERE'S WHY" TO SUFFER THROUGH. THE SAINTS EITHER WIN OR LOSE.
