New Orleans Saints training camp is in full swing. I’m not a big training camp fan. The years I spent leaving work early to watch practices thinking Aaron Brooks was going to the Hall of Fame only to watch him flame out year after year taught me that every player looks pretty good in practice. […]
After weeks of deliberating as what the Saints should do in the departure of veteran RT Zach Strief, the team decided that it was best to bring the team captain back. On Monday, Strief and the Saints struck a 5 year, $20.5 Million deal with $8.4 Million guaranteed. Statistically Zach Strief was considered to be […]
As the beginning of the NFL Free Agency period draws closer, there are several attractive names that the Saints could possibly add to better the team. One name in particular is flying under a lot of radars. Former New England Patriots ILB Brandon Spikes. Spikes is a run stopping linebacker who can play zone very […]
It’s hard being a Saints fan during the offseason. Especially when some of your favorite veterans are released from the team. Yesterday the Saints released both veteran WR Lance Moore and versatile RB Darren Sproles. With the loss of these two great players it’s clear to see two things: 1.) The Saints are committed to […]
While watching the NFL Combine today my eyes were opened even further to a name that I’ve heard all year long in college football. Pittsburgh DT Aaron Donald. The 6’0″ 285lbs lineman set several scouts’ ablaze by running an extremely impressive 4.68 40 yard dash. Of course that was the undercard to the Jadaveon Clowney […]
With the NFL Combine only a few days away, I think it’s time to put out my first official Saints Mock Draft. Mind you, this is pre-combine and based on current needs of the New Orleans Saints and the priority that they should be addressed. This is a straight mock draft, meaning no trades or […]
I’ve been hearing a lot about my outlook on the draft. People have been saying “Brandan, all you’re looking at is defense, defense, defense. What about the Saints offense? That’s what let them down last year.” Well, let me answer that with this: Look at what who the Super Bowl. A team predicated on defense. […]
At 6’6″ 325lbs Virginia senior OT Morgan Moses is the ideal size to replace Zach Strief as the starting RT for the Saints. Moses is ranked as one of the top Offensive Tackles coming out of college this year. Strange to hear that being that we rarely did not hear any mention of his name […]
In the past few days I’ve come across several discussions about who the Saints need to pick up in free agency. I’ve heard some ridiculous answers lately. Alshon Jeffery? Alterraun Verner? Vontae Davis? Ben Tate? Brian Orakpo? C’mon Who Dat Nation lets be a little more realistic. Sure those guys would be nice, but they’re […]
Well if the Super Bowl taught us anything, it’s that defensive speed and tenacity kills and wins championships. The old adage stood tall as the Seahawks routed the Broncos 43-8, mainly on the backs of their defense, and the speed of those ridiculous defensive ends that absolutely overwhelmed the Broncos offensive line. I digress, the […]
