Heath Evans... Saints seek balance with diverse, Adrian Peterson-led backfield

That's a nice and informative article, and this is a little off the subject, but Heath says:



Is it necessary to point out what everyone here already knows, that the Saints' Best Offense Ever came from behind twice in the last 4 minutes, despite the early loss of their best running back?

Well, maybe his unarticulated point is that the more balanced running attack of the 2009 team might have been able to take more time off the clock before scoring the winning points, thus taking some stress off the offense, but still unclear why Heath thought it useful to neg the great 2011 offense in the course of celebrating the very very fine 2009 model. (I'd take either one, thanks.)

He probably has a little attention envy of the team everyone calls the greatest offense in team history. I got the impression reading the article that he was doing a little chest beating a couple times. I get that he's trying to preach loud about balance being the key (I agree), but I think he put a few contriversial tid-bits in there just to give the ho-hum story a little more "what'd he say? did he say that?" He was and will always be a Saint, but he's a member of the evil media now... :D :D :D
