2007-08 New Orleans Saints
The Saints definitely waved the America’s darling flag last season, riding on a wave of support and emotion. This, however, is a new season – and critics are not expecting New Orleans to sneak up on anyone this season. The Saints may prove them wrong. They have the top six/seven units in the game, and a RB combo that can’t be touched. Drew Brees has emerged as a talent, and Jamal Brown returns at 100% the Saints have a pretty solid team. Defensively they do need work, but Kendrick Clancy and Antwan Lake might help turn this around. Ticket buyers to Saints tickets will definitely get great football. This season will prove to be one of the toughest one’s they have ever faced. Hurricane Katrina devastated their home city, including the Superdome. The team is looking at a number of options as of now, but for their first “home” game they will be playing against the New York Giants in the Meadowlands. Alternate home fields for this season are headed by San Antonio’s Alamodome. The team has a number of ties with the city and has already said that they will practice there for the rest of the season
Previous Seasons
The New Orleans Saints aren’t exactly the portrait of a successful franchise on the field. Since its inaugural season in 1967 the team has only made five postseason appearances and only has two divisional championships. Chances it’s been like that is, they’ve played in the same division as the 49ers, Buccaneers, Falcons, and once removed Super Bowl runner-up Panthers. In more recent memory, the Saints have been lead by an explosive offense. Quarterback Aaron Brooks, who is an older cousin of Atlanta Falcons All-NFL QB Michael Vick, is one of the top young quarterbacks in all of the National Football League. He appeared on the NFL scene out of nowhere during the 2000 season where he threw his first passes in the league in his third season. He started five games for the injured Jeff Blake and led the team to the playoffs by throwing for 1514 yards and nine touchdowns. The was also the last time the Saints busted through into the postseason and the last time the team won a divisional title. In the playoffs they matched up against the defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams. They had just played a game in week 17 where the Saints fell to the Rams and were looking to knock the champs off of their thrones. They did just that when the Saints squeaked by the Rams with a 31- 28 final score. In the next round, they fell to the Vikings by a score of 34-16.
This season will prove to be one of the toughest one’s they have ever faced. Hurricane Katrina devastated their home city, including the Superdome.

Alternate home fields for this season are headed by San Antonio’s Alamodome. The team has a number of ties with the city and has already said that they will practice there for the rest of the season.
The New Orleans offense is as lively as Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. The Saints can score almost at will. They are lead by two of the NFL’s up and coming stars in quarterback Aaron Brooks and running back Deuce McAllister. Brooks threw 21 touchdowns and 3,810 yards last season while McAllister ran for 1,074 yards and 9 touchdowns. The Saints most publicized player has to be Joe Horn who will be remembered for catching a touchdown pass and then pulling a cell phone out of the padding on the field goal post and making a call. He was heavily fined by the NFL but was still one of the top receivers in the NFL when he caught 94 balls for 1,399 yards and 11 touchdowns. This season might be a little bit different on the offensive end for the Saints. Coach Haslett has vowed to run the ball on a more consistent basis. He figures that if he can keep his high powered offense on the field longer, that it will take pressure off of the defense.
The defense was a little below par last season. They finished dead last in total yards allowed and 28 th overall in scoring defense, but stopping the pass wasn’t their problem. In 2004, the Saints finished 29 th overall in rushing defense and an almost decent 27 th place finish in passing defense.
