The third game against Oakland, our offense was unstoppable but our defense was just as nasty. Our corners and safeties were playing well together and our line was playing nasty. This is when I felt we were a super bowl team, not just a contender.



This is when I knew. My friend and I still talk about that day as the day we fricking KNEW we were good.

So I guess what I'm looking for this year is a Game 3 fisting just for old time's sake.

1. No crucial season ending injuries

2. Offensive pass-run balance

3. Discipline & Focus: in the 2009 preseason, the Saints looked like a well-oiled machine in mid-season form with minimal mental errors (ex: false starts, offsides penalties, too many players in the huddle, late hits, fights after the whistle, redzone holding or PI penalties, etc...)

I see you conveniently did not mention the 10-7 dud against the Fins in the 4th preseason game. After that atrocious game I thought we were doomed. Just weren't ourselves that night. We sucked. Luckily we turned it around the following week.

Honestly, I don't even know if I had any optimism going into 2009. I still thought we were cursed thanks to Reggie Bush and his idiotic taunt in the 2006 NFC championship. IIRC, that was the fuel that sparked the Bear's comeback and missing the playoffs the two following seasons.

On paper, it looks like the best team we have fielded. So i want to see it with my own two eyes. 2009, like mentioned, it was the Raiders game that I knew that team was going to be special.

This year, I have that feeling again. So, i am ready for preseason to start.

What I want to see:
- Better pass/run ratio (less predictability and improved play action pass)
- WR changeover (I can't wait to see how Brandin Cooks impacts the game and who our 5-6 receivers will be)
- Vacarro and Byrd together on the field at the same time (It just feels like greatness in the making)
- Position battles (who is going to emerge out of nowhere to make the team)
- Improvement for the LB corps and Special Teams unit
- What will Jimmy do instead of dunking

Create some turnovers and pound the ball and I will have the beginnings of moisture down amongst my privates.

If they all come running out acting like the ultimate warrior in the early 90's.

I'm impressed that you can remember anything specific about a preseason, especially as far as one 7 years ago.

I try to remain stoic...remember in 06 we ended up in the NFC championship and in preseason we looked like a 4-12 team.

All I want is no injuries
