2011 New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton are still working out the bad taste in their mouths after last season’s ouster from the playoffs in the wildcard round, especially having to work the ESPN booth for the Super Bowl. "I do think the loss to Seattle, as difficult as it was, can help light a fire or fuel what we want to accomplish this upcoming season," said Payton.
The teams two first round draft picks, DE Cameron Jordon and RB Mark Ingram should both get considerable playing time this season with Ingram showing an innate ability to get into the end zone during preseason. Third round pick LB Martez Wilson has successfully moved to strong-side LB while CB Johnny Patrick suffered a sprained knee in the preseason opener. LB Nate Bussey out of Illinois has an outside shot at making the final 53.
