Preach brother.

ETA: But i'd say 2 of their top 3 CBs. They still have Asante.

Sean Payton to Peter King (who had the Saints at 22 in his preseason poll in 2009) after they won the Super Bowl: "Not bad, for the 22nd ranked team".

I don't see NO at #22 either but just a couple of corrections:
1) We didn't downgrade. It's a wash. We replaced an old guy with an old guy. Don't compare Abe's sacks from last year. He got 4-5 in 1 game and another 2 in another game. He wasn't as good as you guys make him out to be over the course of 16 games and playoffs.
2) We didn't lose 3 of our 4 CBs. Brent Grimes didn't play at all last season and they went 13-3. And if you're calling Dunta Robinson good... kill yourself.

I could go on and make the same counter-points about the saints but not worth it.
