Equally impressive is how guys like Remi Ayodele, Scott Shanle, and Scott Fujita could make a difference on defense.
That's a fact. You have to give it to the Saints. I hate them and their mantras, but the football team itself was a good team. Not to mention I never stopped liking Sean Peyton when he left to be a Saint.
What burns me is that many a ex-Cowboys act a FOO when they go to other teams only to suck. And so I begin to hate them. Just look at T.O. or Gallawaste. But I like the way our team churns out stars for other teams, and Sean Peyton
is a star. He had faith in Brees and played his kind of football. You have to understand that Brees has ties to Romo through Peyton, Romo's old OC. That's not saying that Romo coached him, but I think that even with Peyton's 20 yrs of exerience that seeing a player like Romo affected his football perspective.
But even a coach like Sean Peyton... once he gets his eyes on a certain kind of quarterback his whole perspective about the game changes. It evolves with such a revolutionary player like Romo. That's right, a small niche' of small school talent evolved into the
Big School Big Pond.
I think Romo changed Peyton's game and he changed Romo's too. But even a coach like that, he needs leaders and Drew Brees was quite the quarterback. But I think Romo was the guy Peyton probably learned most from and I think Peyton was sort of the man who brought Romo up from the scene--and that's when his stock skyrocketed. That's when he was offered the HC position in New Orleans. And that's who we saw win a Championship this year--a coach from a bottom of the barrel school called Northern Illinois.
DC.com should write an article called "The Northern Illinois Connection--and how Bill Parcells screwed it up"

I know the history, so that can't all be true. Yet I also beg myself and others to think that most around Cowboy Town knew Peyton was talented.
You gotta give it to him. He does a lot with what he's given, personnel-wise.
