NFC West: Do you buy the hype?

NFC West is strong, b/c their D is strong....that means, they will be in every game till the end....sure they'll lose some, but as long they have that murderous D they will be a huge factor. I think thew NFC West is the strongest div. in football.

Having a better record than last year will be an improvement for the Saints. I have no idea if the Saints are a playoff team...not yet anyway. It all depends how fast is the D gets their house in order. That would be a good indicator. But if we rely on W Smith to rush the passer, & R Harper to cover TEs...we're done in short order.

Today the news is....Victor Butler is our OLB starter, or, is his job to lose, according to the front page article.....that means, our resident OLBs...Galette & Wilson are backups......that's what I was afraid of from the beginning.

This would be a tough year...especially early, unless the D comes around somehow, and starts making plays.
