"We are the CHAMPIONS...of the World" - Queen
Even though the FailCoons beat the shit out the Carolina PantHERs to win the NFC South along with #1 seed and homefield during the playoffs (whick wont be that long) and we lost to the Tampered Bay Yuccaneers, the World Champion New Orleans Saints are STILL in the post season and STILL defending their championship. There are many haters out there in the world and wdgaf... (if you dont understand you need to get your acronyms game up)...I really think the bullshit comes in when folks have to demean my city. Roddy White made some assholesque statements via Twitter talkin bout how it was good for the Saints to win SuperBowl 44 cause the city would just crumble if they woulda lost...what kinda junk is that?
Drew Brees has put the team on his back despite injuries to key players... Reggie Bush was out 8 weeks with a broken fibula, Pierre Thomas was out forever with an ankle, add to the list Colston, Shockey, Dave Thomas, Sharper, Betts, Robinson have all spent time off hurt. We still finished the season with an 11-5 record. We made the playoffs and have to play the winner of the Seattle / St. Louis game. NOTE...whomever wins this game will win the NFC West with a 9-7 record...and we have already beaten BOTH of them. No worries here. We are still in control of our own destiny and arent afraid or in awe of ANY team. We just beat the Falcons Monday night so they arent even a threat... IN the Georgia Tent.
Granted we are the class of the NFC and the only team that has a remote chance of taking the crown from us is New England, (Who by the way smashed the Dolphins by like 4758924752 points) or the Philadelphia Eagles (Vick gives anybody fits) and if the Packers get in the playoffs can beat the Eagles. So regardless of what you cats say I aint a bit more worried.
Now what we need to concern ourselves with is getting healthy and executing better...which shouldnt be an issue. We are a very responsive / resilient team and have the eye of a tiger and the will of a (must I say it again) CHAMPION.
As far as the off season after we Party with the Lombardi again we need to focus on a couple of spots.
The Run Game...
can someone please show Reggie Bush the correct direction to run (FORWARD NOT BACKWARDS OR SIDEWAYS) and keep both hands on the ball?
can we keep Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory on the field and upright?
can we get rid of Ledell Betts (what kind of midget name is that?) and Julius Jones?
The Offensive Line...
Jerrod Bushrod please learn how to count (no false starts) and not hold even when you gettin beat
Jahri Evans...Dawg team, you got paid...now can you play like you did BEFORE you got that extra loot
Keep Drew clean please
THE DEFENSE...
More pressure on the opposition
Will Smith...picture the quarterback as your wife ala Bobby Bouche from the Waterboy
Cedric Ellis... play like you did at USC when you were a BEAST!
We need better outside linebackers cause the ones we got are just playing a little under their pay grade
Our corners are good, but are being taken advantage of...TAKE YA DAMN VITAMINS
Special Teams
Sweet lil ol' 8.5 lb Baby Garrett Hartley 20 yards is a shorter distance than 45. If you can bang from 45-48 you can hit a chip shot #DOBETTER
To team President and CEO Rita Benson LeBlanc...
Give Drew his money (he's worth it) and can we be a little more aggressive in free agency. Please and Thank You
Your loyal fans
