DADDY'S BACK

 

      On Sunday when the New Orleans Saints take the field against their rival, the Atlanta Falcons, Who Dat nation will be ecstatic about the return of head coach Sean Payton. Sporting a protruding super hero-like chest and a much tighter jawline, Saint’s fans can accurately predict what has been occupying the majority of the coach's suspension. SOME HEAVY LIFTING!

       During the season opener expect the decibel levels in the Mercedes Benz Superdome to be eardrum-damaging. It will be interesting to see how the defense adjusts to new coordinator, Rob Ryan's, scheme. With Jonathan Vilma on injured reserve at least until week seven expect veterans and rookies on defense to look to other captains on the field in Jabari Greer and Roman Harper.

 

OFFENSE

It’s crucial that Brees stays healthy. WHY? There's no Chase Daniels to fall back on. Although Luke Mc Cown is a seasoned veteran and Ryan Griffin is rookie out of Tulane signed to the practice squad, neither will be able to drive this team deep into the post season.

 

 

A Toast...
   TO: Robert Meachem on his return.

   TO: The blind side. With the release of Jermon Bushrod, the shoddy protection on the left side should cease.

 

 
DEFENSE

Will they be fast enough to rumble with younger wide receiver corps? Will they be able to swiftly adjust to Ryan's scheme? Game one will be the test.

 

A Toast...

 

  TO: Kenny Vaccaro. Not only is he a stud, but most importantly he’s aggressive and has an eye for the ball. Vaccaro is not afraid to serve a hit that will knock an equilibrium off its balance. During training camp, teammates and coaches ripped the safety apart for laying season ending hits n causing receivers to walk off the training field. If this is any indication of how the season will go, opposing offenses better have depth where ball carriers are concern. Julio and Roddy, #SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND#32!!!

 

 TO: Will Smith. Why? For his sportsmanship. After being inaccurately moved from defensive end to outside linebacker, the longest tenured Saint did not make a fuss. The move may have been the reason why he was injured in the first place. As a result, this might as well be his last season as a Saint. After walking off the field during preseason with a knee injury, the team reported his season was over.

 

 SPECIAL TEAMS

    While there shouldn’t be any fake punts in the season opener or onside kicks to start the half, expect lots of deceit from Sean Payton to swing momentum with the fan base in mind.

A toast…

TO: WHO DAT NATION. YOUR INPUT WILL BE A MAJOR FACTOR THIS SUNDAY.

 

Prediction: Saints24 falcons 12
