Wow. Combine his attack style with Brees and that offense, and that team could be VERY dangerous in two years. They're already competitive now on the strength of the offense alone.

How long until Pierson Prioleau signs with the Saints

Look out NFC. This is a big deal. I am scared of NO now.

He and Randall Godfrey are racing to New Orleans as we speak.

Honestly NO is already better then the two playing in the NFC Championship this sunday. Actually a lot teams i nthe NFC are. Sad. Go Cardinals!

Re: Saints Hire Gregg Williams for D-Coordinator Job
 

That's always been one of my faults with GW's defense. He LOVES his vets. He did a great job while we were here, but the combination of him and Blache and the vet addiction was sometimes to a fault.

We all remember Warrick Holdman.

He tanked in Jax so let's see if he can get back on track in NO.

Unlikely. In Jax he was working for a defensive-minded head coach in Del Rio who had his own way of doing things. The fit wasn't great, GW's schemes didn't always jive with Del Rio's. Not unlike the Gibbs/Saunders pairing on offense.

GW is going back to coaching with an offensive minded coach (Payton). He'll be given total control over his D. I'll bet he rips it up in no time.

He actually has a pretty good group to work with too. They just need to shore up that secondary and he could do a lot there.

That is exactly what I was going to say, they have a [B]talented and young [/B]DL. Williams will have a good defense there pretty quick.

Nnamdi to the Saints?

Saints need secondary help and some pass rush help

Do you think he pushes for a trade for Rogers? I certainly don't want him to be traded but I keep hearing the rumor he could be gone. This would go right in line with GW's track record for bringing in former players...

HAIL!
