I expect you'll be able to run all over our defense and Brees will do his thing as usual. If we have any shot at winning this it'll be with our offense, which is very quickly developing into one of the most explosive in the league.

Yeah that's music to my ears. How's your pass rush? How did y'all hold Chicago to only like 13 offensive points?

Pass rush is probably our strength as a defense. Charles Johnson has 5 sacks already and looks every bit as good as we expected when we gave him $72 million in the offseason.

On the other side, Greg Hardy is an emerging beast. He has 2 sacks, including a safety against the Jags and a forced fumble. I really like our DE's - if only we could get some guys at DT who could step up our entire DL would be very dangerous.

We're also blitzing a LOT more than what we had under John Fox. I expect to see a ton of blitzes Sunday - safeties, corners, linebackers... from every direction.

Good stuff - I look forward to seeing y'all.

No team in the NFC South ever stays down very long - I was kinda thinking we had a true cellar dweller in CAR but looks like
I was wrong.

We've got talent - just needed a better coaching staff and a QB. We still have some holes (DT, #2 WR, CB, OLB) but with Cam looking like a superstar in the making I feel like we're well on our way to being a Super Bowl contender within 2-3 years.
