As I mentioned in numerous other threads, the fact this team hasnt made the playoffs the last few years and has ultimately underachieved, is the reason I feel our players wont be "eating the cheese". This team is hungry to be champions.
Every team says at the beginning of the season that the SB is the ultimate goal, this team knows that and has the confidence and leaders to keep everyone grounded and working hard to achieve that goal.
As long as Drew & Vilma are the hardest working guys on the team, everyone else will follow. And I have a feeling Sharper wont let lack of work or effort by teammates come between him and a SB ring. Thats all he needs to validate his HOF career, if his career isnt already validated.
"I think we've gained a lot of experience from these last two years in falling short of our ultimate goal of reaching the playoffs and winning a championship, " Saints quarterback Drew Brees said
"I think there's a high expectation that this team has for itself, and yet one in which I think they realize they have to work each week to get better, " Payton said. "We've got a lot of good teams still coming. I think we'll be ready for the challenge when it comes. So far I like how we've handled the good teams that we've played."
