Perhaps someone else mentioned this, but the most brilliant defensive mind in football is Dick LeBeau, and Colt just faced his defense last week and stood up reasonably well. And there is nothing like the pressure of playing a Browns/Steelers game for a Browns player.

So, I know you are all hot on yourselves, but don't for a minute think that just because y'all think you are all that great that you are all that great.

Mangini lover: hey it was a competitive game 27-17..

Aints fan: I reckon it was in the last 10 minutes of the game when the saints went prevent and felt a little sympathy for y'alls fans and let ya get dem 2 touchdowns..

Clowns?!! Really?!! You are officially not a browns fan anymore.. your hatred of Mangini has turned you to the darkside..

Congrats to Brees! He is a stand up guy. Question? I noticed that the Saints don't seem to have the offensive firepower that they had last year. Just wondering if Reggie Bush being injured has been a factor in that? I'm not expecting the Browns to win Sunday. But then again, any given Sunday. Honestly, I want to see if McCoy can build on last weeks game, and continue to grow. I like what I see, and I like his attitude.

Yeah Brees is a standup guy we are pretty lucky to have him. Im sure he would thank you. On the other hand I think your pretty lucky to have Colt. He really seems like a good kid, and his ability was extremely underrated by the draft. I have watched Colt for awhile and he has the character,work ethic, accuracy, and brain power of a young Brees. I wouldn't worry about him getting hurt , he needs to play and looks very impressive, as I thought he would. I wanted the Saints to draft him, but I knew we wouldn't because hes not going to sit on the bench for 4 years.

As to your question. Reggie was in on the games that we have not have the firepower from last year , so I would say hes a non-factor. He was just allowing us to win by an inch, but the firepower was not there. As soon as Reggie and PT had injury problems we started losing that inch, and it cost us a couple games.

If your asking where is the firepower from last year? Its still on the 53 man roster. The reason we think that the firepower hasnt shown up is our OL fell from #1-2 in the NFL to #20. This killed the long ball and is responsible for our bad running game. Saint have had the #1 offense for 4 years, and the main reason was our OL was always #1-5 in the NFL. Now Brees is hurried and people are not blocked. We dont know the reason for this huge difference. Our defense actually got better from last year.

granted we play you with 19 on the injury list of a 53 man roster, but our 2nd string is pretty solid, Ivory and other have shown that. I know you guys are pretty banged up too so it should be a good game. Give our love to fujita, we just couldnt afford him, hes a good player and great guy.

We wish you all a safe and fun Halloween.

Remember Saints fans this is their forum and they can say what they like. As inappropriate as this is, its not worth a response.

Thanks, we just want to talk ball, and respect your city and team. I hope thats understood. We are very interested in your OL and RB position. Most saints know colt, hes good.

WRREBEL

You guys take things too seriously. After the rangers beat the yankees I prayed the plane crashed.

Do you really think I woud ever want anything like that to happen. I say things that are taboo for reaction.

Calling me names doesn't bother me, cause you don't know me.

Saints are a cool team, sean peyton great coach, drew brees is awesome. Even with his comb over

OL? We're pretty good there. At least on the left side. Joe Thomas is one of the top left tackles in the game. Made the Pro Bowl every year he's been in the league. Steinback is solid at guard, and former first round pick Alex Mack has lived up to his draft status @ center. Right side is another story Porkchop Womack is getting old- and Tony Pashos the starting RT was just put on IR, his backup "Turnstile" St Clair is hurting, and God knows who we're going to suit up @ that position tomorrow. It would help immensely if Shaun Lauvao our third round pick this year is healthy enough to play RG- he's been out for weeks with a high ankle sprain (looked real good in pre season) that would slide Womack over to RT.

RB begins and ends with Peyton Hillis. If healthy the guy is a bruiser- (which is in question for tomorrow) and has decent hands out of the backfield on top of it. More than a few comparisons to John Riggins. Absolutely stole him from the Broncos for now third stringer Brady Quinn. Recently acquired Mike Bell (for the departed a stiff breeze will knock me down Jerome Harrison) is still learning the offense but is similar in style. James Davis is a fast back, but is buried on the bench, and probably won't see more than a carry or two. Lawrence Vickers is a bruising blocking fullback who also gets a few carries. In goal line situations, look for Vickers to lead block for Hillis- and buckle up your chinstraps.
