Peace out Williams...

The Brees contract is a formality. He was already talking about what they're gonna do in the offseason, and next year.

36 combined games from your safeties with 0 ints is awful. We need to be better there but i doubt they actually make any changes. Jenkins and Harper will be starting next year.

We HAVE to get a better 4 man pass rush. NOBODY on the roster gets close to the QB without blitzing. Thats why I havent been as hard on Gregg Williams as others this year. Without all the blitzes we'd get picked apart

Will Smith is stealing money. And we can't be relying on UDFA and safeties to provide sacks.

Our DEs should be embarrased by their performance this year.

BTW, did Sed Ellis play this season?

the disgusting thing is the sheer amount of talent we actually do have on the DLine

Sed Ellis, Shaun Rodgers, Will Smith... to a lesser degree Cam Jordan and Junior Gallette.. all these guys can be really good DLinemen.. I don't know what the disconnect is. Coaching?

Great post

Obviously if Williams stays something has to be done with the FS position cause what they are doing with Jenkins is not working

I read where it was said that the Saints D was the toughest in the League to prepare for. Unfortunately with little pressure from the DL they are easy to adjust to

LE made a great point about replacing Shanle with an athletic LB that can cover the flats and the opposing TE

Brees and Nicks are the FA priority

If Williams leaves Spagnolo would be a nice addition and he has Giants ties to Payton.

I feel pretty good about this offseason

if roman harper is our starting safety next year then we will not win 8 games, i like the guy but he is absolutely terrible! every big gain Davis had was from him missing a takcle in the open field.
