The former USC Trojans standout is already being anointed as the most versatile player in this year's Super Bowl. Now Bush must prove that he can be one... info@realfootball365.com (Hugo Guzman) New Orleans Saints 2010-02-02T16:59:51-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14359 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14359 New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey has been on a tear throughout the course of the 2009 preseason. Judging by the way that he has played in 2008, it is evident that he is on course to having a monster season. But before we go into that, let’s look at a few factors about Shockey. One would automatically say that he is a malcontent, clashes with teammates and coaches and is injury... pgf13@hotmail.com (Spawn) New Orleans Saints 2009-09-04T08:48:42-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14354 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14354 On Saturday afternoon, I watched the New Orleans Saints play against the Oakland Raiders in their third game of the 2009 preseason. Here is my grade on the team’s performance as broken down section by section in their 45-7 victory over the Raiders. Offense (A+) – The Saints were well balanced on all aspects of their offense. The first unit put up 21 points with little opposition. The team... pgf13@hotmail.com (Spawn) New Orleans Saints 2009-09-02T12:07:29-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14271 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14271 Friday night, I watched the New Orleans Saints play in their preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals which was played at the Superdome. I understand that this is the preseason and the team won the game 17-7, however I have some concerns. Here are my grades on the team’s performance throughout the night. Offense (B+) – In the early going, the passing game seemed to be a bit off, but it... pgf13@hotmail.com (Spawn) New Orleans Saints 2009-08-15T11:32:36-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14255 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14255 I was wondering if any NFL team would be in need of an eleven-time Pro Bowl linebacker who has started in 221 of 224 games played in his career? The New Orleans Saints could use such a player. Especially one who has Super Bowl championship experience. Derrick Brooks worked out for the Saints this morning with hopes of being picked up after being released from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during... pgf13@hotmail.com (Spawn) New Orleans Saints 2009-08-13T12:07:36-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14154 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/saints/14154 The only thing who may have stumbled more then the Saints secondary last year was a tourist at 4 a.m. on Bourbon Street. One of the big questions about the Saints is whether the defense can come in and improve upon last year, as their offensive air attack led by Drew Brees can take the Saints to a different level - in the playoffs at the very least. Starting with the D-Line, at least on paper,...

The Houston Texans won't make it to the playoffs until 2020. Eli Manning will hold the record for most times a QB shakes his head and adjusts his shoulder pads. And you won't make the playoffs without winning games on the road. That last statement is something the New Orleans Saints are aware of, but they can't seem to do anything about. The Saints sit at...

Something needs to be done to exorcise the New Orleans Saints' demons. They've been dominated two weeks in a row against divisional opponents, and even stellar quarterback Drew Brees was to blame in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. Brees threw three interceptions and was seen losing his cool on the sidelines as he chewed out tight end Jeremy Shockey. The score may...

"No," I replied, "but he is the offensive rookie of the year, no question." Well, I may end up paying some overage fees for texts, because after watching Ryan help dismantle the flustered New...

In 2008, it should mean "Save our season." The Saints find themselves behind the 8-ball in Week 10 as they prepare to face the surprisingly solid Atlanta Falcons. The days of showing up and beating the Falcons -- who are 5-3 -- are gone, and the Saints still have to battle their NFC South rival twice. A loss this weekend would drop the Saints to...

A team chock full of potential has been hit time after time with injuries to key players. Reggie Bush? Check. Marques Colston? Check. Jeremy Shockey? Of course. Now the injury gods are stepping onto the other side of the ball and having their way with New Orleans' defense. With New Orleans having placed...

Earlier this month, head coach Sean Payton released kicker Taylor Mehlhaff and punter Ben Graham and signed Garrett Hartley to replace the former; to take Graham's place, the Saints signed ... Graham. The signings come after a week in which Mehlhaff shanked an extra...

McAllister made headlines, but not in the way he wanted. In fact, he failed an NFL drug test after testing positive for a weight-loss diuretic. The substance McAllister used, Bumetanide, has been ruled as a masking agent for covering up anabolic...

Arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum and a partially torn rotator cuff, along with pressure to play 2004 first-round pick Philip Rivers, was enough for the Chargers to let Brees go. Now the Pro Bowl quarterback...

Then you'd better go catch a pass for his team; after all, he won't be for a while. The often disgruntled tight end fired off complaints to anyone who would listen after New Orleans' embarrassing 30-7 loss Sunday in Carolina. Shockey returned too soon from sports-hernia surgery and re-aggravated the injury on the Saints' first offensive play. The pain later led...
