2009 won a SB with these guys...
Receptions
#1 WR Colston 70
#2 WR Devery 51
#3 WR Meachem 45
#4 WR Lance 14
TE1 Shockey 48
TE2 Thomas 35
RB Reggie 47
RB Pierre 39
Rushing Yards
Pierre 793
Bell 654
Bush 390
Not projecting specifically but think those numbers are easily attainable by the current squad. Defense? That's another thread LOL

So we're gonna get 2009 Drew Brees and 2009 OL?

I think we will have a much better running game than last season. Not sure if it will be as good as 09', but it should take a lot of pressure off DB. Our defense is a much bigger question mark though. As long as we can field an average defense, say somewhere between 12th and 20th, we should be okay.

Actually, yes.

Yeah I don't see the offense being a problem at all, and honestly expect them to be top 5.
The defense is such a wild card because we have yet to see the full #1 lineup out there. On paper we have a great secondary when all healthy and we've been stout against the run for the most part in preseason. We just won't know until next Sunday.

good point, I'm in the Drew was injured camp for last year. I think his ability or performance in negligibly less versus '09.
Comparing the OL-
Bushrod was starting for the first time and unproven. Armstead looks poised to become an All Pro IMO
Stinchcomb/Strief is about a wash for me
Unger is already an All Pro caliber Center. Goodwin was good but approaching decline at age 31
Nicks/Evans then was one of the best guard tandems I have ever seen. Definitely better than an apparently now aging Evans. Lelito clearly the weakest link.
If Evans can get back to form and Lelito not be a black hole the current crew could be up the '09 performance.
Sacks are not THE only stat but they are reflective of overall pass protection. Keep Drew upright and more like the 20 sacks of 2009 vs. 30 in 2014 and the offense should roll.

I'd agree he was probably more injured than he let on but he was filthy in 2009. Idk if we can ever expect anything close to that again.

Agreed although I think the Armstead hype train is still pretty premature on here. He hasn't done much so far.

Agreed.

If healthy Unger is better, and it's not a debate.

This is the biggest hole. Those two were Mack Trucks in 2009. We won't have anything close to that this year.
Overall I think O will struggle some in redzone (for the same reason no one wants to admit and will be pissed when the announcers bring it up every week but it's the truth), but we'll be fine overall. The defense will clearly be the issue.

I'm not worried about the offense either. The question is if you think we've improved on offense or at least stayed the same. You can argue that Unger could improve our offense, but I don't think it's obvious the offense has improved over last year when you lose Jimmy.
And then you factor in that the defense with these injuries definitely did not improve.
So, I'm thinking it's going to be a rough year. But I think it's ok, because we got younger and we made tough decisions to move on from bad contracts. I think we'll be better in a few years, but not this year.

I'm not worried about Brees. Brees is every bit as he was in 08 and 09, and actually fumbles less I believe
I'm worried about G a bit, but we have a solid OL
