Trade
According to ESPN's John Clayton and Adam Schefter the Seattle Seahawks have completed a trade that will send Seahawks backup quarterback to the Cleveland Browns for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick.With the acquisition of Wallace, he gets the opportunity to reunite with former head coach Mike Holmgren in Cleveland and possibly get the chance to be a full time starting quarterback in the NFL.
Wallace now joins Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn as the three quarterbacks in Cleveland. However with Mike Holmgren being the man in charge it's been rumored recently that Anderson will be cut in the coming weeks and Brady Quinn could either be [...]

As the free agency deadline nears the major movement in the NFL has come from the running back position this past week with five running backs being let go or non tendered to free agency.
San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson, Philadelphia's Brian Westbrook, Cleveland's Jamal Lewis, San Diego's Darren Sproles and New Orleans' Mike Bell. Also New York Jets running back Thomas Jones will be released next week so he will be added to the list when that becomes official.
Terrell Owens was informed by the Buffalo Bills Saturday that the 36 year old wide receiver would not be back with the organization in 2010 making him a free agent.

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 [...]

What a great overall performance by the Saints!
The Saints went out to Tampa and CRUSHED the Bucs 34-7 including not allowing a point after the 7 minute mark. The Saints had a great game plan, so first and foremost great job by the coaching staff to have prepared well for their divisional game against the Bucs. Without a solid game plan, it would be like not having a solid foundation on a house or building structure you need that in order to build the actual house.
Let me dive right in to the Saints who really shined during last week's game.
First off is the Offensive Line for the Saints, they really stepped up this past week. Allowing ZERO sacks for their quarterback Drew Brees. Brees had a very efficient day not throwing a pick and not being sacked means he had time to make [...]

This is getting crazy. The New England Patriots will play their seventh undefeated opponent of the season when they visit the 10-0 New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. The Patriots started the season playing the 0-0 Buffalo Bills, 1-0 New York Jets, 2-0 Atlanta Falcons, 3-0 Baltimore Ravens, and 4-0 Denver Broncos. Of course, they played the 8-0 Indianapolis Colts in Week 10 on Sunday Night Football. The 1SKILLZ Gameplan will be released later in the week, but for now I wanted to focus on comparing the Saints' #1 scoring offense this season with that of the 2007 New England Patriots. That Patriots team scored an NFL record 589 points while going 16-0 in the regular season before losing Super Bowl XLII to the New York Giants 17-14.
This year's Saints are averaging 36.9 [...]

Down 21 points...and the Saints march back and find a way to win!
I think we will have some new Stars this week as well as see some names that have been weekly names to be awarded star omitted from this this week's list.
For starters quarterback Drew Brees was a true gamer - his tenacity to go for it on 4th&1 - was pure brilliant, gutsy...and just what you want from your quarterback and leader! While he was brilliant in some aspects, in order to be a true championship caliber team - Brees and the Saints need to learn how to demolish weaker teams like the Dolphins so that they are able to withstand the test of the cream of the crop that the NFL has to offer (included but not limited to: Colts, Patriots, Steelers). Brees was two yards away from another 300 yard performance which [...]

Tough week 6 battle...a showdown of 2 of the 5 unbeaten teams! Giants and Saints both had gaping question marks regarding their respective potent offensives coming into this season. The Giants with their wide receiver core...who will step up in the absence of Buress and Toomer??? While the Saints were dealing with concerns coming from runningbacks. Would the Saints be able to find someone to compliment Bush's dynamic play-making-ability in the back field?
Both teams have silenced critics and dropped questionmarks, in place of excalmation points!!! The Giants wide outs have done a spectacular job - with a few indidivuals really stepping up their game with Mario Manningham and (the other) Steve Smith reeling in a combined57 catches.
While the Saints running attack has been phenominal [...]

Time for the new PT Cruiser...I mean Bruiser to make his debut. At the start if the '09-'10 season I am sure the Saints did not imagine their number one rusher to be third string runningback Mike Bell. There were high expectations for Pierre Thomas this season...to the dismay of my fantasy football team amongst others (ie the coaching staff and players of the Saints)...he has been limited (vast understatement) this season, amounting to a single catch for negative 4 yards. With the shockingly impressive Mike Bell sidelined this weekend, it will be up to Thomas to prove to a whole lot of people outside of my fantasy league that all the hype he recieved during the offseason is more than hype...that he is a legitimate number one running back in the NFL, able to take the pounding, and produce [...]

WOW...the Saints showed up last Sunday to defeat the Eagles 48-24 in Philadelphia. The whole team along with the coaches did a great job game planning and the players a superb demonstration of executing it out on the McNabb-less Eagles. Among the Saints were the Stars that shined bright last Sunday...
...but before I showcase this weeks Star Studded Saints here is a recap:
Week 1 Star Studded Saints:
O-Line
(2) OL Jermon Bushrod (got one from the O-Line as well)
RB Mike Bell
MLB Jonathon Vilma
SS Darren Sharper
QB Drew Brees
Now for the Week 2 Stars:
WR Marques Colston - he caught eight balls for almost a hundred yards (98 to be exact) and counted for two touchdowns. He did with a widely talked about Eagles secondary consisting of pro bowl caliber talent across the [...]

Week 1...where to begin. Lets start with the score 45 - 27 Win over the Detroit Lions. The most important factor is that word....WIN.
The first Star Studded Saint is a group...the Offensive Line. The gave up NO sacks, helped give Brees enough time to pick apart the defense, allowing backup running back Mike Bell to look like a starter, and did all this without one of their starter Jammal Brown.
Another additional Star will be awarded to back up Offensive Lineman Jermon Bushrod - who filled the void...and I do mean VOID...of Jammal Brown.
Running back Mike Bell, as much as the O-Line made holes, it was Bell who was made the plays to move the chains and take pressure off of Brees, rushing 28 times for over a 140 yards. Though I will point out that he fumbled the ball once (and [...]
