WE ARE NOT YOUR FATHERS SAINTS TEAM.
GRADES
Offense: A+
Defense: C+
Special Teams: B+
Coaching: A+
Yes my friends in Dallas, the Saints are for real. We have the number one offense in the NFL and we are going to take the greatest show on turf to Dallas.
Get to know Drew Brees.
#1 in completions (292)
#1 in yards (3649)
#3 in Comp % (66.2)
#3 in yards per attempt (8.94)
#3 in TDs (20)
#5 in QB rating (97.4)
5 Games in a row passing over 300+ yards - Tied NFL Record.
Brees has been outstanding all season. You guys have a new star in Romo but Brees is a All Pro proven veteran. His pocket presence is uncanny. He rarely gets sacked and throws the best deep ball you will see. He's what makes our offense #1 in the NFL. May prove to be the league MVP. Think Romo could do what Brees has done... in New Orleans of all places? Think again.
Get to know RB Duece McAllister
181 Rushes 790 Yards 4.4 Average. The numbers for Duece may seem average but you must consider that he is spliting time with Bush and coming off a season ending knee injury. The Saints have been smart by not over using him and saving him for the end of the season. He is poised to get over 1000 yards and is getting stronger every game. Duece is a hard punishing runner and wears a team down in the 4th quarter. He is the kind of back that can take over a game. He doesn't fumble.
Get to know RB Reggie Bush
Teams have gone the extra mile to stop Bush and many have called him the $60 million dollar decoy. The truth of the matter is that he draws so much attention that everybody else draws single coverage. Watch out here. Pick you poison wisely. Bush 2nd in the league in receptions with 73 and he after last weeks SanFran game, he looking like the light is finally going on. Having Duece McAllister has allowed the coaching staff to bring him along slowly.
Get to know WR Joe Horn
Old crafty veteran may have lost a few steps and pulled his groin last week. May not play but if there is any chance he can, he will. This guy has pleanty left in his tank and has a knack for making the big catch and taking it to the house. He has his share of pro bowl appearances.
Get to know WR Devery Henderson
Super fast. Streaky player that has seen limited action. Joe Horn's replacement. Has only 26 catches but has 5 TDs to his credit. The ultimate deep threat. Can play inside or outside and always creates the mismatch. You have to account for him. Averages 21.5 yards per catch.
Get to know WR Marcus Colston
He may be the rookie of the year. Reminds you of TO without the bad attitude. Tall receiver that catches everything. Yards after the catch. Hard to pull down. The real deal. 54 catches for 869 and 7 TDs. Was leading the lead before he sprained his ankle and hasn't played in the last 3 weeks.
This year no team has stopped the New Orleans Saints. The only reason the Saints have any losses is because of great plays by other teams defenses in forcing turnovers. It should be noted that we do not turn the ball over easily and make few mental mistakes or costly penalties.
Our offensive line has had no injuries. They protect Brees extremely well. We could easily run the football but instead choose to go with the mismatches in the passing game which is allowing us to save our RB for later in the season when you need them fresh... and Deuce is fresh.
Our defense is better than the statistics would suggest. We have an outstanding pass rush (DE Will Smith & DE Charles Grant both former #1 picks) and can stuff the run pretty darn well at the DT position.
Our LBs are smart and alway seem to be around the football. We have been beaten by a few RB/QB(Vick) to the outside for a few big plays but that is not the norm. Our safety position is fine, but we have one really good corner, Mike Mckenzie. Our major weakness is that we only have one corner. Teams have exposed CB Fred Thomas who is average. I expect Dallas to win a few here.
The problem for the Cowboys is that our defensive line was built for knocking the snott out of Mick Vick and we really know how to go after the QB. Romo will not have much time to throw the ball and don't look for your running game to bail you out. If our defense has one big weakness it's that we don't product many turnovers.
Special Teams: The Saints have two kickers on the roster. One for kickoffs and one for field goals PK Karney is one of the leagues all time most accurate in side the 45. He doesn't have the leg for kickoffs any more and recently the Saints resigned another kicker that can easily kick it to the back of the endzone on kickoffs. At kick returner is Michael Lewis and Reggie Bush. While you might think that Bush is the man to stop here, you would be wrong. Lewis has led the league before and if finally back from a nagging injury. He hits the hole faster then Bush and can out run anybody. On punt returns Bush and Lewis split time. I say the threat for a great return is equal here.
The Saints offense is so explosive that the only way to beat them is to create turnovers and not turn the ball over. So far this season, that's the only way we have lost. Recently coach Sean Peyton has taken every step to limit this problem and the result was two impressive wins against Atlanta and San Fran. The Saints are beating the teams they are supposed to beat and beating some teams we never thought we would. It's been a great season and we fully expect to be the New America's Team!!!
The Saints are well coached and haven't made stupid mistakes that have plagued our sad history for 40+ years. This team is for real and I'm sure that this will be as good a game as it gets for Dallas fans. Wish I could be there drinking beer with you guys!
See you in the NFC Championship game. Hey I can wish huh?
Did Ricky Williams rub off on old Iron Mike or has he got it right?
Saints Superbowl!!
