New Orleans Saints Super Bowl run
This year is looking to be a great year for the Saints. Coach Sean Payton has done a effective job coaching up the rookies that did not have much time in camp. General manager Mickey Loomis brought in some good players through free agentcy and the draft. First round pick Mark Ingram remines me of a Emmit Smith formly with the Dallas Cowboys. Ingrams not the fastest player on the field but has great technique and very explosive. He is a instinctive runner and at 5-9 220 is the right size for running between the tackles. The Saints took Californias defensive end Cameron Jordan with their first pick in the first round. Jordan is a stout defender against the run and can drive his opponent into the pocket. Jordan and Will Smith will make a excellent pear at the defensive end spots. The saints brought in one of the best free agent classes in the NFL. Former number one pick defensive tackle Shaun Rogers was signed through free agentcy to shore up the defensive line. Darren Sproles was sign out of free agentcy to be a Reggie Bush type of player return punts, catch short passes and turn them into long gains. Sproles has explosive speed and will be right at home in Paytons offense. The offensive line looks as good as ever so the running game should be every strong. That will give Drew Brees more plays down feild which means more touchdowns. But its the defense that has the franchise thinking Super Bowl this year. Look for the defense to carry the offense through the second half of the season and into the playoffs.
