Forget for a moment how the Haslett Era ended, and think back to his first year with the Saints in 2000.
Coach Payton's 1st year team & Haz's 1st year team definitely had a few similarities.
For example, after twelve weeks, both teams were 7-4, and whether we want to admit it or not, most of us thought back then that Haz was a very good coach.
Both team's also made use of a lot of FA pickups, draft choices, and trades that year to be 7-4 after 12 weeks...
Yet, when I look at both teams, there's still something very different about Sean's 1st year 7-4 Saints...
How about you? Are they really different, or are we just "thinking" these 2006 Saints are a cut above Haz's 1st year team?
