What do the Saints need to do in order to secure a victory and travel into a place this franchise has only ever dreamed of... ...simple score more points than the opposition. ;-) To expand that and discuss more how the Saints need to slow the Vikings and the Saints run up the score here is my preview: The most important aspect for the Saints offense is to NOT let the foot off the gas pedal. The Saints should never look at the scoreboard as to stay in the mindset that they need and should score on every position. I love that Drew Brees, quarterback of the Saints, has said in multiple times [paraphrased] "we want to score every time we [the offense] get the ball." I love that tenacity to always push. I believe the most important aspect of the game with be the lines...Can the Saints [...] Continue reading →

The Saints got the Lucky Rather than the Good……Team

Who would you rather the Saints face this Saturday? A team that has given up 14 points in the past 3 games or the defense that gave up 45 points in their last game? The Dallas Cowboys are on fire right now, where as the Cardinals defense has been so much 'bark' than 'bite'. You know who does the trash talking for the Cardinals....the defense, if there was a side of the ball that should be keeping their mouths shut this week it would be and should be the Cardinals defense. Have you heard the reports that Cardinals safety Antrel Rolle said [paraphrased] that he would rather face Drew Brees over Aaron Rodgers.......WHAAAAAAAT??? All Rodgers' did was light you up for 45 points....35 of the points coming in half way through the 3rd quarter and all of the 4th quarter...at home [...] Continue reading →

This week 4 match up of the Jets rumbling it out with the Saints was the game I was wanting to watch most...unfortunately the snobby CEOs who make all the decisions did not showcase it on national television - oh well, I had to settle for updates from James Brown on CBS....could be worse ;-) The Saints were victorious 24-10, giving the Jets head coach (Rex Ryan) and rookie quarterback (Mark Sanchez ) their first career loss. The Saints really seemed to rattle Sanchez's cage - which is something that he has not expereinced a lot at the professional level, nor at the collegiate level when he played at USC. It will be interesting how Sanchez deals with bouncing back - I remember watching Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay duke it out on ESPN about all sorts of issues, but focusing on when they [...] Continue reading →
