They were not as enthusiastic about the offense. Like I said, I was shocked. Yes, the info they gave is skewed, considering the conditions that surrounded some of those games (ie Atlanta pulling Vick), but suprising, nonetheless.
I won't try and give any specifics, as I cannot quote anyone, word for word, and would hate being hung on specifics.
Sterling went so far as to pick the Saints to win the division.

Well the D looked completely different at the end of last year...

I was seeing more 1, 2, & 3 yard gains for opponents on first down....rather than 5, 10, 15 yards that we'd been seeing earlier. That's why I dont get bent out of shape when people complain about our linebackers. Those guys can play.
