2 of them were forced by the situation. Brees definately was bound to look more human after last year. He's going to start playing better than he is though. They lack balance on offense. Defensively they are terrible.

When you lose the offensive ability to shorten the length of the game (via the run), a horrible defense will be exposed by every opponent. Look no further than the 2006 Redskins. The Saints offense can't score quickly, nor can it produce long methodical drives. It's very mediocre right now.
