The New Orleans Saints seemed to adapt rather quickly to Sean Payton's quirky, wide open offense with a new quarterback and a rookie wideout. Maybe they are the exception to the rule, but as SmootSmack said awhile back, perhaps Zorn's West Coast system is precisely the type of offensive philosophy these guys are suited for.
Let's hope anyway.

I'm glad you brought that up. Brees came in and had to learn and new offense plus wasn't he coming off a serious shoulder injury?
