After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the 2006 New Orleans Saints lifted the spirits of the entire community with an explosive season that found them playing for the NFC Championship. The 2007 season was a bit of a let down as injuries spread through the roster and the Saints finished at 7-9 on the season. With a healthy roster and some key off-season moves, the New Orleans Saints are ready to march their way to the Super Bowl in 2008!
QB Drew Brees is tailor made for the complex offense, hitting big targets in wide outs Marquis Colston and Devery Henderson, along with TE Eric Johnson. RB Reggie Bush is the most versatile offensive player in the NFL and can take any play to the house. First-round rookie DT Sedrick Ellis and bookend DEs Charles Grant and Will Smith form an imposing line, while LBs Jonathan Vilma and Dan Morgan swarm the ball carrier.
The offensive genius of head coach Sean Payton will put fear into the hearts of all the NFC South’s defensive coordinators. The Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers are both in rebuilding phases, leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the biggest roadblock between the Saints and the NFC South title. The New Orleans Saints will also match up against the likes of the San Diego Chargers and the Green Bay Packers outside the division.
Over the past few years, the Louisiana Superdome has become an American landmark and plays home to the Saints. The Superdome boasts the best atmosphere in the NFL and is always filled to the rafters with the good ol’ black-n-gold.
