Premature Depth Chart Predictions: Secondary

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:11:53 PDT

Part Two of the last minute blitzkreig of roster comments is now beginning. Had I any readers they have surely abandoned me now which would have me resorting to amatuerish tactics to win their attention. After consulting my blogging manuals, I have determined that I will choose the method of posting cheesecake photos.Oh Shit. That's creampuff, not cheesecake. My apologies...[More stupid

Premature Depth Chart Predictions: Runningback

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:03:25 PDT

As the sun slowly sets on the 2008 pre-season ... ummm ... season, panic slowly engulfs me as I realize that I only have a week to crank out five pieces on the team roster. With a big project creeping up this week starting with a trip to Memphis on Monday, it seems that procrastination has the better of me this year. Apologies in advance for the lowering of the standards of what is already low

Premature Depth Chart Predictions: Offensive Line

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 08:41:55 PDT

An offense is only as good as the big boys up front and with the Saints, it begins this season with the loss of Jeff Faine.Now Message Board Guy will tell you that Faine sucks and Goodwin is a much better run blocker, but I disagree. Faine's issue is and always has been his health, which also seems to be the case for Jammal Brown last season. With Jamar Nesbit hanging around still and Jon

Since I have a blog I am obligated to post my opinion on the **** ***** saga. I'm not sure why, but at the last meeting they told me I had to and I am not one to piss off a bunch of whiny, greasy-haired wanna-be writers who rarely find themselves outside of their mother's sewing room where they have a corner to place their desktop PC's when she's not working on her quilts or dollhouse.

Absurdly Early Depth Chart Predictions: Tight End

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 21:03:03 PDT

Were it not for the Brett Favre saga, one of the bigger stories of the offseason would be the Saints' acquisition of former Giants Tightend, Jeremy Shockey. You should all remember the rumors leading up to the draft that the Giants were shopping Shockey and/or the Saints were asking whether or not he could be acquired. Loomis no doubt has an inside source of Shockey's true locker room influence

Absurdly Early Depth Chart Predictions: Defensive Line

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 12:18:13 PDT

One of the more talented areas of the team has also served as the most under-achieving these last few years. Ever since the depature of Joe Johnson, LaRoi Glover, Wayne Martin, etc. this group has been chock full of promises, but left a trail of broken dreams scattered in their wake for Saints fans. Will a fresh influx of talent along with new D-Line Acadian Debil Ed 'O' Orgeron finally squeeze

Absurdly Early Depth Chart Predictions: Quarterback

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 15:08:42 PDT

Before Training Camp really gets a head of steam, I wanted to throw a projected depth chart out there for posterity's sake. We'll base this on a mixture of common sense, blind faith and shock value to get the venom flowing in Message Board Guy.QB: Drew Brees, Mark Brunell, Tyler PalkoUnlike the last two seasons, I predict that Payton is going to keep three QB's on the roster this time around.

We did our Moms day stuff yesterday. Sushi and Sashimi at the Waka House here in Baton Rouge was fantastic. It's a small, hole-in-the-wall with great service and good food. Everything was fresh and presented well. We're pigs when it comes to sushi, but we like taking some home for the next day. Now we prepare for Father's Day...

Russell Shepard

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Sun, 04 May 2008 02:37:52 PDT

It's been a while since an LSU-related post, so I thought that I might drop a few words in LSU's next uber-recruit, Russell Shepard.To be honest, this cat is going to need some work. His passing skills are very raw (although he put on a clinic at the recent Nike Camp I'm told) and he lacks what coaches call "ideal height" in a QB. This isn't usually as big of an issue in college football as it

I am sick

and I'm not talking "I'd really like to see those two chicks make out with that monkey" sick. I'm talking, kill me now so my head will stop pounding, Ryan Perrilloux blew his 15th chance and I don't want to watch the Hornets game sick. I fought through the day to get home and now I'm downing a glass of "medicine" to ease the drifting off dreaming of the now defunct Arizona State Cheerleading

Final Draft Analysis

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:46:30 PDT

So what's the final verdict on the Saints' acquisition of Sedrick Ellis, Tracy Porter, DeMario Pressley, Carl Nicks, Taylor Mehlhaff and Adrian Arrington?While I would have like to have seen a good safety prospect added to the roster along with one of the many pass catching tight ends, I can't really complain. Instead of having a 3rd round pick to draft a safety prospect like Notre Dame's Tom

7th Round Beast: Adrian Arrington

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:15:53 PDT

Well that wraps up a nice draft for the Saints. After selecting Wisconsin kicker Tyler Me.... Whaaaaa? The Saints traded back into the 7th round?That's right, Bitches. The Saints traded back into the draft to snatch Michigan receiving prospect, Adrian Arrington.Arrington isn't a burner by any means, but he possesses enough speed to gain separation and break away from defensive backs. He's a

6th Round Beast: Taylor Mehlhaff

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:04:35 PDT

Drafting a kicker is not usually a smart bet. They're disposable, cheap and come a dime a dozen. They only play a handful of snaps a game and will break your heart. The only way I feel good about this guy is if he pushes Gramatica off the roster. He was one of the nation's more prolific kickers the last four years and has arguably the strongest leg of the draft. After kicking in Wisconsin

5th Round Beast: Carl Nicks

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:56:30 PDT

So how does arguably the most physically gifted offensive lineman in the draft drop to the 164th pick?No one is talking. There is the moving through three schools in his collegiate career. There is the arrest for failing to disperse at a party this past March. Then there is the being banned from Nebraska's Pro Day for said arrest. There were rumors of Nicks being a malcontent on the team as

5th Round Beast: DeMario Pressley

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 13:53:53 PDT

The Saints get a steal in the 5th round thanks to a rash of injuries that beset him, starting with wrist injury to end th e2006 season. In Spring camp he suffered a turg toe injury. In summer camp he was stricken with a nasty elbow injury that resulted in three ligament tears. He played through the injury, but suffered a knee injury that was cleared up with arthroscopic surgery that allowed

2nd Round Beast: Tracy Porter

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:08:50 PDT

This is a fantastic pick. I am very pleased that guys like Brandon Flowers and Mike Jenkins were more highly rated by the talking heads and NFL GM's. I won't pretend that I know better, but Porter is going to step in and play soon. As an added bonus, the Saints will be bringing the Port Allen native back home. Porter is a playmaker, plain and simple. He has a lot of natural gifts that make

1st round Beast: Sedrick Ellis

noreply@blogger.com (B...) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 13:47:19 PDT

The Ed Orgeron influence is early in this draft (Yaw yaw yaw yaw yaw yaw yaw) as the Saints trade up for the #7 pick and Sedrick Ellis, grabbing the best player available and filling a hole in the center of their defense. A three year starter for the Trojans, Ellis registered 8.5 sacks, 8.5 tackles for loss and 7 passes defensed to go along with his 58 tackles. In 48 games (36 starts) he
