re: Saints Defense Young and Depleted. *ARTICLE*

Yesterday, I was listening to Bobby Hebert and Mike D (I don't know why, okay). Mike said the Cubs have almost 50% new players on the roster this year compared to last year....that's 50% turnover since last season. That's incredible.

The Saints are going to be around an 8-8 team this year and that's not going to cut it with Drew Brees' window closing. I don't think it's closing as fast as some may think it is, but it's still closing.

This team has some good players on defense and after Week 1 in their first NFL season, guys like Swann, Kikaha, Davison, Breaux, Murphy and the UDFA's from this year have impressed me.

I'm not worried about Breaux's holding calls or Swann getting targeted so much. I like how they're playing. They're around their receivers and they're playing physical. They'll learn what they can and can't do in the NFL.

I guess I'm just going prepare myself to treat this season for the Saints like I did when the Cubs started this season...a lot could go wrong, but in the long run a lot could go right.
