yeah, I heard there take on the Saints this morning. It was a joke and a waste of time. I was hoping they would shed some light on us from a different view, but it wasn't anything we don't know. They basically just went off of what happened last year, and neither put forth any type of educated analysis. I forget his name but that other guy was filling in for Greenberg. They both answered 5 questions.

1.Is Brees the best QB in the NFC? both said yes but weren't to quick to answer. They did praise Brees and our offensive supremecy, but who doesn't.

2.Is this Reggies break out year? Neither felt it would be a break out year....they said what we've seen so far from Bush's career is what were likely going to always get. He's not an everydown back, more of a receiver, often injuried, will never be a featured back, only a RB by comittee.....blah blah, very unoriginal same ole generic bullshite that we all say on a daily basis.

3.Is the Saints receiving corp the most underrated in the NFL? They didn't say yes or no, but both went on to say Colston is a beast and should have a huge year, and that Moore and DH are good but it really doesn't matter who Brees has to throw to.

4.Will the Saints have a top 10 defense? Both of em said no way, the saints defense has been a horrible compliment to there #1 offense. Which has been very true recently but neither one of those idiots even cared to mention one of our defensive upgrades we made. It was almost as if they didn't even know that the saints had added Gregg Williams, Jabari, Sharper, Jenkins, ect ect...totally ignored our revamped defense completely.

5.What will the Saints record be? Both agreed on 8-8, mainly b/c our defense was 27th overall last year. Went on to say...we should accept the fact that 8-8 sounds about right....b/c thats the norm for us, and its what they have become.


also, both were very surprised to find out that Greenberg had the Saints going 10-6.


so yeah, this was my take on that.

They said he was without question the #1 QB in the NFC and no one else was close.

That's the truth, he is what he is.

They said they were without question extremely underrated.

Agreed they did a very shitty job on the defense. Pretty sure that's why Greenie had them at 10-6. I feel he would've mentioned the D.

Other than a handful of anomalies in the Saints' history, what is inaccurate about their statements? The Saints predominantly hover around .500.

There predictions were pretty much what I expected.

BTW, when did you watch because I'm talking about the 6:15ish version of their comments.
