Bradley Handwerger: December 2008 ArchivesThe saints defense couldn't come up with a key stop and Carolina booted a 42-yard field goal to win 33-31. 3:11 4th Quarter this is stunning. Oh, and Brees didn't get the record on the drive. But if the Saints come up with a stop, he might just get it. He has 16 yards more to get the record and the Superdome is R... So, New Orleans ranks No. 17 in the latest ESPN power ratings. The Wold Wide Leader says that the Saints are only playing for a winning season. I disagree. Drew Brees is playing for an NFL record. ...
Those wild folks over at the other WWL (World Wide Leader), other wise known by the acronym ESPN, answered several questions about the Saints in their latest blog entry. While we know about Reggie Bush, Pat Yasinkas answers questions about Mike McKenzie and his thoughts on whether the Saints will go after a new defensive coordinator. ...Adam Schefter at NFL.com said the final parts of the deal that brought Jonathan Vilma to New Orleans are complete, and the Saints can breathe a sigh of relief. According to Schefter, the Saints will have a first-round pick and two fourths in 2009 with no picks in the second or third rounds. ...Saints offensive lineman Jon Stinchcomb is the organization's "Man of the Year." And I've got to tell you, that seems about right. Stinchcomb, a UGA alumnus, seems to always be doing something for the community, be it blocking for Drew Brees and Pierre Thomas or giving back to those who need it.

There also is question about playing in Chicago...in December...in the cold weather. Here are the answers, straight from Sean Payton's mouth: --About the decision to run the football --
Game over In a tough call, one that some would call stupid, Sean Payton went for it on fourth-and-1 from the 7. Mike Karney plunged ahead for 2 yards. A play later, Thomas went in. New Orleans held up on defense, and then the offense ran out the clock using six consecutive Thomas run plays to chew up the clock.... With Lane Kiffin being hired at Tennessee and the defensive coordinator position up in the air in Baton Rouge, could Saints defensive line coach Ed Orgeron be thinking of going back to college? That's a good question. Why don't we let the man himself answer that. "Every season in a coach's life there's an evaluation and there's always going to be options," Orgeron said. "In my case, in my first year in the NFL, I love being in ...
Sean Payton blamed Sunday's 23-20 loss to Tampa Bay not on the weather, but on inconsistency on the offense and a poor kicking game. That inconsistency, mind you, came on offense, where the team had at least eight dropped passes and several penalties in crucial situations. Want to know what he said? Here's some insight - Opening statement: |
