2008 NFL Preseason “Quick Analysis”
NFC New Orleans Saints
Location: New Orleans, Louisiana
Stadium: Louisiana Superdome
Coach: Sean Payton
NFL Championships: None
The high-flying passing game of the Saints remains in fine form as the 2008 season approaches. The offense remains stocked with talent.
The New Orleans Saints have done a lot of work this past off-season to bolster their defense. The defensive line is among the best with ends Charles Grant and Will Smith. The additions of Bobby McCray and Sedrick Ellis to the line could make the line one of the best in football.
Jonathan Vilma will be a welcome addition to a linebacker group needing leadership. The defense should fill the seats with its potential to dominate. while Drew Brees, Deuce McAllister, and Reggie Bush could be healthy at the same time.
Although the team needs more options than just Marques Colston deep, the team also plays a schedule chock full of games against the NFC South. The weak division and team with this talent should end in the Saints going to the playoffs.
Some New Orleans Saints history: The Saints joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1967. The new club struggled for many years, employing six head coaches, posting 12 consecutive losing records, and averaging only four wins per season from 1967 to 1978. The team's leader during much of this time was quarterback Archie Manning, who won the NFL player of the year award in 1978. The greatest moment in Saints history came on November 8, 1970, when New Orleans kicker Tom Dempsey sealed a 19-17 upset of the Detroit Lions with a 63-yard field goal—the longest in NFL history.
