here's what i think is the problem national media has with the saints - they can't craft a narrative:
- they were trying with the "second coming of the greatest show on turf"/no D; then we get more yards on the ground than the air???
- brees is not not a media QB (by his choice as much as the fact that he's not the "ideal" qb type they all love) - he reads from the crash davis interview answer guidebook
- reggie is our only marquee player and he falls between beast and bust - what's the media to do with that?
- many of our best contributors are late round draft picks or UDFAs (people that didn't have much college notice)
- last week's star might not produce anything this week
- on D we're good at most/all the positions but no single group is stellar
- shockey & hargrove aren't behaving shockey & hargrove like (as the media would like them to)
- coach is more "think-y" than "yell-y"
the saints are a TEAM - and our fantasy football/solo stats media doesn't handle that well
to talk about the saints you have to talk about actual football plays - there are no soap operas here, no prima donnas
