Dear Saintards...

NFL Network replayed the Week 14 game against the Falcons from last season. As I was watching the game I couldn't help but think of a lot of the different topics I've seen on this board about how we need to trade Bush, that Pierre Thomas isn't feature back material, and sign Michael Vick. After watching the game, I remembered (quite fondly) that this game wasn't a fluke, but how much of the season went when we had a HEALTHY Reggie Bush, and came up with this conclusion...

If you think we need to trade Bush, that Thomas isn't feature back material, or that we need to sign Vick - you're fricking retarded.

Pierre Thomas can get the job done as the featured back, and he's one hell of a kickoff returner too. He has speed, he has agility, he has power, and he had drive. He's not too shabby catching passes out of the backfield either...

Bush CAN run between the tackles, last season he began to show that he had learned to run there. He can also catch passes both from out of the backfield and lined up as a wideout or slot receiver. He can also be a tremendous threat returning punts. I'm curious how he'd do as a kickoff returner paired up with Thomas...

And lastly, Drew Brees needs to touch the ball 100% of the offensive snaps, so no, there is NO NEED for a Michael Vick, both from a strategic view point, and from a locker room chemistry point of view. We are much better off without Vick.

I'm pretty sure there will be at least 10 more topics started claiming we need to run the Wild Cat offense, and that we need Michael Vick, whether it be as a backup quarterback or some sort of kick returner, etc. We don't. Offensively, our team is setup to win the Super Bowl. Defensively, we still have to wait and see, but most true Saints fans will agree, that Gregg Williams is the key to a defensive resurrection here in New Orleans...
