please everybody leave some info.. i would like to see what yall are expecting this season?

May 5, 2009  06:58 PM ET

FOR THE OFFENSE Yes drew will throw for over 5000 yards. I hope reggie improves on ground game, and he should do good in recieving. All our recievers should do good, I just dont know who will be our best. I think shockey will do better this season because at the end of last season he started doing better.

May 5, 2009  07:05 PM ET

FOR THE DEFENSE I think Williams will put us in the top ten D. I also think Fugita, Vilma, Randall Gay, and Sharper will make it to the Pro Bowl. Also Porter will be our second best reciever after Randall Gay. I dont think Jenkins will start yet. And sedrick will be our third DT since we are putting Paul Spicer as Dt and got Rod coleman. I dont know about Grant and Smith.

May 5, 2009  07:07 PM ET

Oh I forgot, we will clinch the division, make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. I hope. GO SAINTS

Man that is a lot of wills.
Let???s start with???
OFFENSE :
1 - I hope so
2 - Yeah, right when a polar bear strolls through the Quarter
3 - If he plays as good as should yes
4 ??? may be not 1500 yards but he will do better than last year, and he will do better than Reggie Bush
5 ??? he is Drew???s favorite receiver and he had a great season last year. all he needs to do is keep it up
6 ??? if he doesn???t trade him
7 ??? well I don???t about him, he is quick and sometimes inconsistent.
8 ??? if he stays healthy, but I think he but wanted out of NY but as soon as his contract is up he is gone
DEFENSE :
1 ??? I REALLY HOPE SO, ESPEALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD
2 ??? I am sure with the talent on the defense that somebody should go.
3 ??? he will play better
4 - ?
5 ??? yes
6 ??? if they off they suspension long enough, yes
7 ??? who know, a few of them will be suspended a few games at the beginning of the season
TEAM :
1 ??? I would love but I doubt it
2 ??? yes
3 - no

First, Drew won't have to pass for 5000. If he needs that many yards we are in trouble because that means our ground game is anemic again. He'll get around 4500. Pierre won't get 1500 because Donaldson will get around 800 to 900. PT will get about the same. Throw in around 750 for Reggie along with 85 catches. Colston will get 100 catches for 1200 yards and the Pro Bowl.

Williams will have the D playing hard and inspired. If not they'll be looking for work elsewhere. They won't be a top ten squad but close (judging on how many other teams also concentrated on improving their D). However an 11 or 12 ranking is a VAST gain and good enough to make the post season. Vilma will be the only defensive pro bowler. Alot of times (unless you have a lights out year) a player will get rewarded the second outstanding year.

Finally, 11 and 5. Win the division and hope for the best.

Answers:

I hope Brees does not. If he does, that means our ground game and defense both suck
I doubt Reggie will be any better this year.
I think Colston has a chance for a pro-bowl if he stays healthy.
I think Thomas will hit 1,000 yards, not 1,500
Moore will probably have an 80 catch 1,000 yard season.
I give up on Meacham.
Hendesons niche is as a deep threat. That is all he will ever be.
If Shockey stays healthy and dedicated, he can still be a pro bowler.

Williams will field a tough and aggressive D. It will be better than last year if we can stay healthy
Vilma and maybe Sharper and Fujita will make the pro-bowl.
I think Tracy Portor will be solid. Maybe not a pro-bowler, but solid.
Jenkins will be ok this year. Next year he will very good.
Ellis will be solid, but not dominating.
I honestly dont know what to make of Smith and Grant. Other than they are getting on my nerves.
Yes. Vilma will lead the team in tackles.

We will clinch the division. After that, I dont know.

we could still have an effective ground game if Brees throws for 5,000 yards. I believe if we would have gave the ball to Pierre Thomas earlier in the season our ground game would have been alot better.

You could be right about Brees. I sincerely hope you are. I am not totally sold on Thomas yet. However, I like the guy and I am definitly cheering for him. If he gets 1,300 yards, I will be happy to admit how wrong I am.
