The Saints have made some really great moves so far this year. With them signing Vilma, Gay, McCray, Morgan, and resigning all but Faine; the Saints have built the best team ever in New Orleans. With Dan Morgan playing weak side LB, he may stay healty for the entire season due to he doesn't have the entire load on his sholders. If nothing else, he will teach Scott a thing or two. Johnathan Vilma is back in the defence that he was built to play. Before the Jets went to the 3-4 defence, he was making 140+ stops. We all know how good Fujita is. And this is just our linebackers. Does anyone remember the DOME PATROL.
The defensive line speaks for itself. With Smith and Grant, the best DE combo in the NFL, what can you say. Payton went out and signed McCray, which is going to do so much for the line. A) It adds quality depth, B) the Saints could move Grant over to DT and play him on top of a guard (a match up that he wil win evey time). Yes Thomas is 33 this year an Young anin't so young anymore either. But they are still quality players.
Now the secondary, thats a mouthful! McKenzie is out for the first four weeks of the season due to his injury. They did sign Gay, witch in SOME games he reminds you of a younger Samual. David will be better after a season learning how to play man coverage. Remember, in Indy he played zone. Young is in his second season and will make strides to compete for a starting spot. Harper was really good last season, if he can improve on that WATCH OUT. Bullocks is good at times, but he likes to play solo the rest of the time. Payton is watching tapes and taking note for the Spring. Josh will be forced into being a team player or he may be looking for a new job soon. Don't get me wrong, in times, he can make plays happen. He does have good hands.
Offence in the top 3 for the last two seasons. If Meachem comes out this year and plays like he says he will than the Saints will have the #1 Offence in the NFL. There are only a few questions for the offence. A) C, is Goodwin relieyable enouph to anchor the line? B) A consitant TE, someone to step up and make plays happen or just not drop the ball. C) Yes, Bush, did him and Bress get on the same page this offseason? After several plays last year, Bress was teaching Bush the playbook.
