I'm trying to figure out if the people who think we "lost a lot" even watched us play last year.

Jenkins and Harper were atrocious, Sproles lost a half-step, Moore couldn't get separation.

I could see an argument for losing Greer, although I think our improved safety play can help tremendously.

Then we replaced our out-going safeties with the best available free agent while also adding depth. We "replaced" Moore with Brandin Cooks and our runningbacks look better than ever. Pierre was always our best screen back anyway.

Hell, maybe I'm just a homer.

I legit LOLed last night when NFLN was talking about how great an addition Jenkins was for the Eagles. My thinking is that his tendency to make one or two spectacular plays per year has people thinking that he's worth a shite.

My being a Saints homer makes me more knowledgeable about the Saints than other teams, but I look at things objectively and I think that this is the best Saints team we've ever had. Barnwell was shocked when Mays said the Saints would go 12-4. We're better than the 2009 and 2011 13-3 teams.
