Would it be possible to start with a 0-7?

Saints are a middle of the pack team.

Predictions are usually based on when people arrive at camps to watch the Saints..

So let's say they have a bad practice.. media guys get information like "this team is terrible"

Then for the most part people take that and combine it with our off-season moves and go.. ok

Penning was terrible last time he played. They lost Peat so that's going to hurt, and they have a rookie left tackle. Offense will be bottom of the league..

Oh the defense looks older and they have a glaring weakness @ safety.. they will take a step back.

Ok Saints will be one of the worst teams this year.


But when it comes down to it.. no matter the team they can come close with their predictions but they can also be way off.

I want to see how we look before I say anything.

Last year when we committed to the run we actually weren't bad running.. this year we are in a scheme that promotes a heavier run.

It wears out the defense
It keeps your own defense off the field


So inevitably the most important thing right now.. is running the ball.. if we can run.. we won't lose that much.

If we cant.. we will lose a lot.
