Aside for Lutz ( and that’s for just the time being) I’m liking EVERYONE on our roster RIGHT NOW~! If everyone is healthy and playing up to their potential, as it appears they are, I’m thinking all we need is the desire and belief that there is a direct coalition who could bring us into the play-offs and then to the Promised Land of Super Bowl Championship~!
There’s not one guy who I’d trade off or away for any other player and I said Lutz but he’s a rook and those three misques weren’t ALL his fault even if he really needs to change his trajectory and get those kicks up~!
Another “sort of needs a change” is Fleener but after both Jimmy “G” and Big Ben Watson, it’s a hard position to hand over to someone like Fleener but maybe he’s a great fit for our Offense and I haven’t seen it other than we’re getting some much improved downfield blocking seeing that with the solid runs from Timmy and Mark.
So, I’m just saying I feel our roster is looking really strong all the way around , wish we had started faster and some of the real “Breaks” would have fallen our way instead of the reality that we were just in the wrong place at the right time to NOT get the breaks and to have missed on several opportunities where our Special Teams could have given us some really great shots. Heck I can name four complex Sp.T’s plays which could have/should have given us some real opportunities to have won four games~!
So, with all of that on paper, I say: “Our TEAM” is correct, some plays and tendencies need to be corrected. The secret to solving these variables are hidden but it must be in some sort of Mathematics but I don’t know what it is or where those answers are hidden, but we MUST inject into our TEAM what it’s like to be an NFL TEAM who is vaulted up into the rarified air of being Champions and that it’s within their reach and that THEY are good enough to DO IT~~! They have Drew Brees for maybe one more H of F year or even two but there’s a LOT of preparation which needs to be instilled into their brains to get over that stumbling block of self doubt or that “thing” which prevents players from achieving that attitude of becoming Champions. Sometimes no matter how “special” young players are, there is an understanding of what it takes to become Champions. The development of hunger for the taste of that championship and that THEY , The New Orleans SAINTS, who had gone through a period of such poor defenses, they had gone through a situation never imposed upon any team before with the BountyGate situation, brought down upon us by Roger Goodell as we were crippled at a time when we still had that “glow” from Our SUPERBOWL WIN and still “felt” like we were Champions and could regain the title again. Those days seem like a long time ago and our roster is very different than anything even close to those days which is good because we’re loaded with strong young talent yet we need some gritty veterens who know that “hunger” necessary to penetrate just the grind of a season but that extra “push” necessary to gain the grit to become NFL Champions. That question is now, “Does OUR 2011 TEAM have what it takes to make that turn and gain the kind of danger necessary to earn that spot?” Does out roster have the kind of heart and desire and even understanding to comprehend what becoming Champions means? That has to be on The Coaches to instill in our players what it takes to become Champions~! To believe in themselves and in one another which gives them the WILL to become Champions~! I pray he remembers and still has his own hunger along with Drew and Roman and Streif and Jahri to share with our new guys ( that’s the majority of our roster) just what it takes to enter into that rarified air of Championship Ball where you don’t settle for just playing well but playing with a desire which is new for them and they all need to look deeply into their mirrors and see someone differently who is looking back. The person looking back is meaner, more focused and more intense and just MORE than anything they’ve ever seen before. A pending CHAMPION will be looking back at them. I don’t know about any of you all but that became something we ALL shared and it FELT as if we all were on the same ride together and everyone of us were helping each other and either that team was on our backs or else we were on their backs.
What say all of YOU? Do we have “The STUFF” which can make it happen again? I believe we do and I think our combination of youth and those mid term guys who are understanding what’s at stake are prepared to make the sacrifices to earn that spot!!
GEAUX SAINTS GEAUX~!!!!! We’ve got to run the table and still catch some breaks from some other teams but it still can be DONE!
