The New Orleans Saints (0-2) look to

bounce back from their week two loss at the

Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week when they

open up their 2007 home regular season slate

against the Tennessee Titans (1-1) in a Monday

Night Football Contest that will be nationally tel-

evised by ESPN.

The Saints will be seeking to rebound from

a 31-14 loss to the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay,

while the Titans fell to the Indianapolis Colts 22-

20 in their home opener.

The Saints, who played two road games to

open the season for the third consecutive year,

were never able to get back on track after the

Buccaneers took a 21-0 first half lead. A key

turning point was in the first quarter, when RB

Deuce McAllister rushed for six yards to the

Tampa 43 and fumbled in a play which was

ruled recovered by Tampa Bay following a chal-

lenge and led to a Buccaneers touchdown.

Despite the loss, the Saints are only one

game behind the division leading Bucs (1-1) and

Carolina Panthers (1-1) in the NFC South.

This will be the first time that New Orleans

and Tennessee have faced each other since

2003 and it will be the Titans’ first trip to the

Superdome since 1999. The Saints will be seek-

ing their first win over the Titans in their third try

since they relocated from Houston in 1997.

Tennessee holds a 6-4-1 edge over New

Orleans in the 11 game all-time series and lead

the Saints in games played at the Superdome

with a 4-2 mark.

The Saints will be looking to halt their two-

game losing streak to start the season and their

three game skid against the Titans.

The Saints are 16-24 all-time in regular

season home openers. The club will be seeking

to win their sixth consecutive home opener to

be played in their home stadium (2005 home

opener was played at Giants Stadium due to

Hurricane Katrina).

Monday’s tilt will be the first prime time reg-

ular season game to be played in the

Superdome since the stadium’s reopening last

season when New Orleans defeated the Atlanta

Falcons 23-3 on September 25, 2006.

Monday’s matchup will also feature the first

time that RB Reggie Bush and Tennessee QB

Vince Young take the same field since the 2005

Rose Bowl when Bush’s USC Trojans narrowly

fell to Young’s Texas Longhorns 41-38 for the

BCS Championship.

These two exciting talents have contin-

ued their success at the next level. Bush was

selected with the second overall pick in the

2006 NFL Draft by the Saints, while Young fol-

lowed him as the third selection by the Titans.

Bush’s contributions on offense and special

teams helped the Saints advance to the NFC

Championship, while Young went 8-5 as a

starter to help the Titans double their win total

from 2005.

Also in the NFC South, Tampa Bay will host

the St. Louis Rams and the Atlanta Falcons will

host the Carolina Panthers.

WEEK 3: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS. TENNESSEE TITANS

SAINTS-TITANS PREVIEW

THE COACHES

Second-year New Orleans Saints head coach

Sean Payton is 10-8 in the regular season and 1-1 in

the postseason. He is the lone coach in franchise his-

tory to open his career in New Orleans with three

consecutive victories, and his winning percentage

(.556) after 18 regular season games is second-best

in club history for a Saints head coach. Payton was

hired as the club’s 14th head coach in January, 2006,

after serving as a member of the Dallas Cowboys’

staff from 2003-2005. He has successfully overtaken

a major rebuilding project by reshaping the Saints’

roster, with only 17 players remaining on the roster

from 2005. Prior to joining the Cowboys in 2003,

Payton was with the New York Giants from 1999-

2002, including the last three seasons as offensive

coordinator. His previous NFL coaching experience

came as quarterbacks coach for the Philadelphia

Eagles from 1997-98.

Tennessee head coach Jeff Fisher is 106-94

(.530) in the regular season and 5-4 in the postsea-

son in his 13-year head coaching career. He is the

winningest coach in Titans/Houston Oilers history and

is the NFL leader in tenure with one team among

active coaches. Fisher guided the Titans to the 1999

Super Bowl. Fisher joined the team when it was in

Houston as defensive coordinator in 1994 and was

elevated to head coach with six games remaining in

the season. He joined the coaching ranks after a five-

year playing career with the Chicago Bears from

1981-85.

SERIES HISTORY

The Saints and Titans, who were the Houston

Oilers from 1960-1996, have met 11 times. New

Orleans has posted a 4-6-1 record against the Titans.

down or less. the Titans have won the last three

SAINTS-TENNESSEE SPECIFICS


LAST MEETING

Coliseum – The Saints, despite cutting the

Tennessee lead to eight points with 13:23 remaining,

fell to 1-2 with a loss to the powerful Titans at the

Coliseum in Nashville, Tenn.

The Titans took the opening kickoff and drove for

a 22-yard field goal by K Gary Anderson with 7:48

remaining. S Jay Bellamy stopped Tennessee TE

Shad Meier short of a first down at the New Orleans

4 to force the kick. The Saints went three-and-out on

the next possession and the punt was fielded at the

Tennessee 14 by WR Justin McCareins. CB Keyuo

Craver hit him and caused a fumble that went air-

borne toward the Titans red zone. Tennessee S Tony

Beckham recovered the loose ball at the two, but his

momentum carried him across the goal line. As

defenders closed in, Beckham flipped the ball forward

to S Lamont Thompson who was tackled in the end

zone. The penalty for an illegal forward pass on

Beckham resulted in a safety with 6:03 left in the

quarter.

On the free kick by the Titans, DE Melvin

Williams muffed the catch and the fumble was recov-

ered by Tennessee’s Tyrone Calico at the 38. Seven

plays later, McCareins hauled in a two-yard touch-

down pass from QB Steve McNair to give the Titans

a 10-2 lead with 1:52 remaining in the opening quar-

ter. The two teams traded field goals in the second

quarter.

On the Saints’ first possession of the second half,

WR Donte’ Stallworth fumbled after a reception in

New Orleans territory and the Titans added another

touchdown seven plays later on a scoring run by RB

Eddie George to take a 20-5 lead into the fourth

quarter.

New Orleans threatened by cutting the Titans’

lead to 20-12 early in the final quarter on a 10-yard

scoring pass from QB Aaron Brooks to WR Jerome

Pathon. But Tennessee responded with a 14-play,

76-yard drive that took 7:10 off the clock.

LOOKING BACK

The Saints and Tennessee have faced off 11

times, going back to the days when the Titans were

the Houston Oilers. the first game ever played in the

Superdome was a preseason battle between the

Oilers and Saints. The Titans lead the all-time series,

6-4-1. What follows is a look back at some of the

memorable moments between the clubs:

• October 17, 1999: Titans 24, Saints 21 @ the

Superdome – The Saints lost their fourth straight

game and the fourth in the final period as the Titans

scored 17 points in the last stanza to seal the victory.

QB Billy Joe Tolliver, making his first start of 1999,

completed 28-of-45 passes for 354 yards with two

touchdowns and two interceptions. CB Ashley

Ambrose recorded his fourth interception in five

games. The Saints piled up over 409 yards in total

offense in the losing effort.

• September 5, 1993: Saints 33, Oilers 21 @

the Superdome – The Saints took advantage of five

Houston turnovers and sacked Oilers quarterbacks

four times to take the opening day win. Offensively,

and RB Derek Brown (52 yards, one touchdown).

• December 13, 1987: Saints 24, Oilers 10 @

the Superdome – QB Bobby Hebert completed 15-

of-27 passes for 254 yards and three touchdowns.

appearance in the postseason.

• September 30, 1984: Saints 27, Oilers 10 @

the Astrodome – The Saints staged their best defen-

sive effort to date in club history as they allowed the

Oilers only 133 total yards. Houston could only man-

age two first downs in the first half as New Orleans

moved ahead 17-10 and could complete only seven

passes on the day for 83 yards with two intercep-

tions. One of the interceptions was returned for a

score by FS Frank Wattelett, marking the first time in

club history that a defensive player scored a touch-

down in consecutive weeks. •

• November 22, 1981: Saints 27, Oilers 24 @

the Astrodome – QB Archie Manning returned to

the lineup to lead the inspired Saints to their best

offensive display of the season. Manning completed

10 of 14 passes for 147 yards and one touchdown

and lead a near-flawless attack. HB George Rogers

gained 142 yards on 28 carries to put him 20 yards

ahead of Tony Dorsett in the NFL rushing pace. FB

Jack Holmes had his best day of the year as he

rushed for 25 yards, caught five passes for 49 yards

and scored two touchdowns. The Saints defense kept

their record intact of not allowing a runner to rush for

100 yards as they held Earl Campbell to 96 yards on

the ground. LB Ken Bordelon intercepted a Ken

Stabler pass deep in Oilers territory to set up another

score in coach Bum Phillips’ return to Houston to

play the team he coached for six years.

• October 3, 1971: Saints 13, Oilerss 13 @ the

Astrodome – The first game of the series between

the clubs ended in a tie, when K Charlie Durkee

a comeback from the Oilers holding a 13-7 lead in

the game’s final stanza. Rookie QB Archie Manning

found WR Danny Abramowicz for a 63-yard touch-

down pass in the first quarter, the longest offensive

play of the season for the Saints.

WEEK 1: Indianapolis Colts 41, Saints 10;

September 6, 2007 @ RCA Dome – The Saints

opened the 2007 campaign by dropping the NFL kick-

off game at the hands of the defending Super Bowl

champion Colts, 41-10. The Colts broke open a game

that had been tied at 10-10 at halftime and erupted to

score 31 unanswered points in the second half where

the Saints hurt their chances with three turnovers.

QB Drew Brees completed 28 of 41 passes for

192 yards with two interceptions. RBs Reggie Bush

and Deuce McAllister tied for the club rushing lead

with 38 yards apiece.

Colts QB Peyton Manning completed 18 of 30

passes for 288 yards with three touchdown passes.

Indianapolis WR Reggie Wayne recorded seven

catches for 115 yards with two touchdowns. Colts RB

one touchdown to power the rushing attack.

• In his regular season debut as a Saint and

return to the city where he played his first three NFL

seasons before signing with New Orleans this offsea-

son, CB Jason David stripped the ball from Colts

WR Reggie Wayne immediately after a second quar-

ter reception, scooped it up and returned it 55 yards

for a touchdown to put the Saints on the scoreboard

for the first time in the contest. This marked the first

defensive touchdown scored by New Orleans since

the 2003 season and the first on a defensive fumble

recovery return since the 2002 campaign. It was

David’s first fumble return for a touchdown of his

career and the second defensive score, his first since

his rookie campaign in 2004. David also recorded

three solo tackles and one pass defense in the con-

test.

• TE Eric Johnson led the Saints in all major

receiving categories in his regular season debut with

the club, as he grabbed eight passes for 57 yards.

Johnson’s reception total was the most by an NFC

tight end in week one and second-highest in the NFL.

Johnson’s reception total was the highest single-

game total by a New Orleans tight end since the

2003 season.

• In his first game handling the the majority of the

club’s kickoff and punt return duties, WR Lance

Moore’s second quarter career-long 30-yard punt

return to the New Orleans 48-yard line set up a 34-

yard field goal by K Olindo Mare, his first in a Saints

uniform, to give the Saints a 10-7 lead.

• In the first half, the Saints defense harassed

Indianapolis QB Peyton Manning into completing

only 8-of-17 passes for 101 yards.

• The New Orleans special teams coverage units

continued the improvement they showed last season.

P Steve Weatherford set a career-high with a 48.4

yard gross average. Weatherford placed two punts

inside the Colts 20-yard line and boomed a career-

long 61-yard kick in the third quarter. Mare recorded

two touchbacks on three kickoffs.

• RB Reggie Bush successfully converted all

three of his third and one rushing attempts of the

evening.

• MLB Mark Simoneau recorded a team leading

10 tackles (six solo), including a stop of Indianapolis

RB Kenton Keith for a two yard loss. The tackle total

was the highest for Simoneau during his two year

tenure as a Saint.

WEEK 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31, Saints 14;

September 16, 2007 @ Raymond James Stadium –

New Orleans’ two-game winning streak against the

Buccaneers came to an end as the Saints opened up

their 2007 NFC South slate with a loss in Tampa Bay.

The Buccaneers jumped out to a 28-0 lead

through three quarters before New Orleans scored

heir first offensive touchdown of the season near the

end of the third stanza. Tampa Bay took advantage of

two New Orleans turnovers that led to 14 of those

points.

QB Drew Brees completed 26 of 44 passes for

260 yards with one touchdown pass and one inter-

ception. Deuce McAllister led the Saints with 49

yards rushing on 10 carries. WR Marques Colston

had 70 yards receiving on eight receptions with one

touchdown.

Buccaneers QB Jeff Garcia completed 10 of 16

passes for 243 yards with two touchdown passes.

Tampa Bay WR Joey Galloway recorded four catch-

es for 135 yards with two touchdowns. Bucs RB

Carnell Williams rushed 24 times for 61 yards,

including a pair of key one-yard touchdown.

• Despite the loss, New Orleans outgained Tampa

Bay in yardage 343-330 and held the ball for 33:08 of

the contest compared to 26:52 for the Bucs.

• FB Mike Karney’s one-yard touchdown run at

the end of the third quarter was New Orleans’ first

offensive score of the season. the 2006 second-team

All-Pro, rushed three times for 13 yards, including a

key second quarter third-and-one conversion for 10

yards in the 50th game of his NFL career and also

added a reception.

• WR David Patten recorded two receptions for

66 yards. Patten’s 58-yard reception on third and long

from Brees set up Karney’s touchdown run. The grab

was his longest catch since the 2001 season and

was the club’s longest play from scrimmage of the

year. WR Lance Moore also opened some eyes in

the second half with his first extensive playing time as

a receiving, grabbing three receptions for 46 yards.

• All but one catch for 14 yards of Colston’s

receiving totals occurred in the second half when the

second-year wideout helped jumpstart the Saints

offense. Through two games, Colston is tied for sec-

ond in the NFC and ninth in the NFL with 14 recep-

tions for 117 yards.

• The New Orleans defense held the Buccaneers

to only 87 rushing yards on 32 carries. In keeping

Tampa Bay to a 2.7 yards per carry average, this

marked the lowest figure that the Saints defense has

held an opponent to since the 2002 season.

• S Josh Bullocks and S Roman Harper and LB

Scott Shanle contributed to the club’s run-stopping

efforts, recording eight tackles apiece to tie for the

team lead. Tampa Bay RB Carnell Williams was

stopped by DE Charles Grant for a three-yard loss

early in the first quarter, was stopped by Shanle for -3

yards in a second quarter play and was tackles by

Bullocks and Grant in the fourth quarter for a four-

yard loss.

• New Orleans’ fortunes took a turn for the worse

in the first quarter on a play where Deuce McAllister

bulled his way to the Tampa 43 for a first down and

six yard gain despite fumbling the ball. The play was

originally blown dead and remained in possession of

the Saints, however Tampa Bay successfully chal-

lenged the ruling and it was ruled that McAllister lost

the ball, setting a Bucs drive for a touchdown.


2007 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW


QB DREW BREES

• One of the Saints’ key free agent signings in

2006, Drew Brees made an immediate impact as he

rewrote the club’s record books and led the team to

its most successful season in franchise history, culmi-

nating with an appearance in the NFC Championship

game. Brees completed 356 of 554 (64.3 pct.) passes

for 4,418 yards with 26 touchdowns, 11 interceptions

and a 96.2 passer rating, while leading NFL signal

callers with 41 completions of 25 yards or more. He

was selected first-team All-Pro by the Associated

Press, finished second in their NFL Most Valuable

Player voting and in the vote for NFL Offensive

Player of the Year.

• In addition to being voted the NFC’s starter for

the Pro Bowl, Brees’ highest honors included being

selected first-team All-Pro by the Associated Pressand being honored as the co-winner of the NFL’s

Walter Payton Man of the Year for his on-field per-

formance, charitable contribution and volunteer work.

• Brees threw for a team-record and NFL high

4,418 yards in 2006 (breaking the former record of

3,970, QB Jim Everett, 1995.) The club’s other sin-

gle-season records that Brees either broke or neared

RB DEUCE McALLISTER

• Long the Saints’ workhorse on offense, Mc-

Allister again will help lead the club’s rushing attack.

He played in 15 games and rushed for a team-high

1,057 yards on 244 carries (4.3 yards per attempt)

and 11 touchdowns (10 rushing, one of his touch-

downs at Pittsburgh was ruled a fumble recovery

picked up and run in for a touchdown) in 2006.

McAllister became only the second player in club his-

tory to post two seasons with double-digit touchdown

totals. McAllister had a career-best 16 (13 rushing,

three receiving) in 2002. He averaged 86.3 yards per

game in the club’s 10 victories.

• McAllister was voted the 2006 recipient of the

Ed Block Courage Award in a vote by his team-

mate, which is awarded to a player from all 32 teams

who best exemplifies the principles of sportsmanship

and courage. He returned to the ranks of the league’s

most productive running backs after missing the final

11 games of 2005 with a serious knee injury.

• After two games in 2007, McAllister is the team’s

leading rusher with 20 carries for 87 yards (4.4 avg.),

while catching three passes for 14 yards. He has led

or tied for the club lead in rushing in both games.

WINNING MILESTONEThe Saints are 19-8 when McAllister rushes for

over 100 yards, including 4-0 in 2006. He’s reached

the 100-yard rushing milestone 27 times in his career,

more than any other running back in franchise history.

RB REGGIE BUSH

• Selected second overall after a record-setting

career at Southern California, the rookie RB lived up

to his draft billing with a sensational rookie season in

2006. Bush ranked 10th in the NFL with 88 catches

for 742 yards. That total led all rookies and was sec-

ond among running backs. His receiving yardage

ranked second among running backs and second to

teammate WR Marques Colston (1,038) among all

rookies.

• With 565 yards rushing on 156 carries, Bush

ranked seventh among NFL rookies in rushing and

scored six rushing touchdowns. Bush led the NFL

with 33 third down receptions. On those, he had 297

yards and a touchdown. With 565 yards rushing, 729

yards receiving and 216 in punt returns, the rookie

had 1,523 total yards. He finished second on the

team with nine touchdowns – six rushing, two receiv-

ing and one off a punt return – and the nine ranked

as the second-highest total among rookies. No Saints

rookie had more touchdowns since RB George

Rogers had 13 in 1981. Bush was the only player in

the NFL in 2006 to score touchdowns rushing, receiv-

ing and on a punt return and his 88-yard touchdown

catch-and-run for a touchdown at Chicago, January

21, 2007, was the longest play in NFC Championship

history.

• Through the first two games of 2007, Bush is

second on the club in rushing with 22 carries for 65

yards and third in receiving with 10 receptions for 50

yards. He is perfect in third and one rushing attempts

(3-for-3).

• After a record-shattering rookie season in 2006,

Bush is set to break another team-record. With just

two receptions on Monday against Tennessee, Bush

will reach the century mark with his 100th career

catch in just his 19th game on the professional level.

Bush will be the fastest to 100 among players begin-

ning their career in Black and Gold and only trails Joe

Horn, who caught 100 passes in his first 17 games

with the Saints in 2000-01.

WR MARQUES COLSTON

• Colston was one of the league’s true impact

rookies – and biggest surprises outside of the club.

Like his teammate Reggie Bush, Colston earned

nationwide attention for Rookie of the Year honors

awarded following the 2006 season and was included

on every major media outlet’s all-rookie squad.

Colston, a seventh-round pick (252nd overall, com-

pensatory), is considered by most to have been the

steal of the 2006 NFL Draft and emerged as the most

productive rookie wide receiver in club history. He

shattered all club rookie records as he caught 70

balls for 1,038 yards and eight touchdowns.

• Colston has kept up the pace in 2007,

as he leads the team in receiving through two con-

tests, recording 14 receptions for 117 yards with one

touchdown grab. Colston is currently tied for second

in the NFC and ninth in the NFL in receptions and

tied for the team lead and ninth in the NFC with fel-

low second-year teammate Reggie Bush in first

downs (8).

• Colston led all Saints receivers in the

September 16 contest at Tampa Bay, making eight

catches for 70 yards with a fourth quarter four-yard

touchdown reception.

FB MIKE KARNEY

• The lead blocking of this 2004 fifth round draft

pick helped pave the way for the Saints to rush for

over 1,700 yards in 2006 and to finish as the NFL’s

No. 1 ranked offense. For his efforts, he was a sec-

ond-team selection to the Associated Press All-Pro

squad. Spurred by a tenacious approach to the

game, Karney has continued his role with success in

2007. At Tampa Bay on September 16, Karney dis-

played his versatility with the ball as well as he had

three rushes for 13 yards, including a one-yard touch-

down.

WR DEVERY HENDERSON

• Henderson emerged as another dangerous

component in the Saints’ top-ranked offensive attack,

with three 100-yard receiving days in 2006. One of

the club’s fastest players, Henderson has the ability

to stretch opposing defenses and teams with WR

Marques Colston and RB Reggie Bush to give the

Saints one of the NFL’s most dangerous and explo-

sive playmaking threesomes.

• Henderson established career highs of 32

catches for 742 yards and five touchdowns, including

a 76-yard score on the third play from scrimmage at

Atlanta, November 26. He also took a reverse vs.

Atlanta, September 25, for an 11-yard touchdown run.

• Of Henderson’s 32 grabs, 12 were completions

of 25 yards or more, and 24 went for first downs. His

average of 23.4 yards per catch in 2006 led all NFL

players with over 500 receiving yards.

WR DAVID PATTEN

• Patten is an experienced and productive veter-

an who was added in the offseason to bolster the

team’s youthful receiving corps. In his 10-year career,

which includes playing on three Super Bowl

Champion teams in New England, Patten has hauled

in 263 passes for 3,845 yards and 20 touchdowns. In

his first extended action as a Saint at Tampa Bay on

September 16, Patten caught two passes for 66

yards, including a 58-yard grab from Drew Brees in

the third quarter, the team’s longest offensive play to

date in 2007.

TE ERIC JOHNSON

• Johnson is an extremely productive target who

is is another option for QB Drew Brees. Signed in

the offseason as an unrestricted free agent from San

Francisco, where he spent his first six NFL seasons,

Johnson has recorded 200 receptions for 1,857 yards

and seven touchdowns. He led the Saints in receiving

in his debut with the club at Indianapolis, as he had

eight receptions for 57 yards. His catch total was the

most by an NFC tight end in week one and second in

the NFL. The reception total was most in a game by

a New Orleans tight end since the 2003. Through two

games in 2007, Johnson ranks second on the Saints

in receiving with 11 receptions for 75 yards. He is cur-

rently ranked first in the NFC and third in the NFL in

receptions by a tight end.

WR TERRANCE COPPER

• Copper is another target who has emerged as

a viable threat within the offense. A waiver pickup

from Dallas following 2006 training camp originally

signed primarily because he had been a solid special

teams performer during his three-year career, Copper

had a career-best 23 receptions for 385 yards and

three TDs in 2006. Copper saw his first action on

offense at Tampa Bay on September 16 and made

one grab for six yards.

DE WILL SMITH

• One of the Saints’ top playmakers on defense,

Smith made 56 tackles, a team and career-high 10.5

sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in

2006. He was voted a Pro Bowl starter. In 14 games,

Smith exceeded the team-leading 8.5 sacks he had

in 2005. He had a career-high two sacks three times.

He tied for 14th in the NFL in sacks, and over the last

seven games he played recorded seven takedowns.

Smith has started 29 games in his career and played

48 contests since being drafted 18th overall in 2004,

though 2006 was his first year as a full-time starter.

He has been elected by his teammates as one of two

defensive captains for 2007.

Since arriving in New Orleans, Smith has been

particularly good at creating turnovers. He had a

stretch of five-straight games where he caused a

fumble (the final four games of his rookie season and

the 2005 opener), the lone player in team history to

achieve the feat. Smith has 10 forced fumbles in his

career and has three fumble recoveries.

DE CHARLES GRANT

• Smith and Grant are the backbone of the club’s

pass-rushing efforts and this trend should continue

after the Georgia product was re-signed to a seven-

year contract. With 36 sacks since being selected in

the first round in 2002, Grant needs four to move into

10th on the club’s all-time sack list and move past DE

Bruce Clark (39.5, 1981-93). Grant had six sacks in

2006, along with 71 tackles (53 solo) to lead the

defensive line, three forced fumbles, four passes

defensed and two fumble recoveries. He was tied for

the lead on the line in the team’s season opener at

Indianapolis with five stops. Grant has never missed

a game in his six-year career (82 played, 70 starts).

DT BRIAN YOUNG

• Signed by the Saints as a free agent in 2004,

Young teams with Kendrick Clancy, Antwan Lake

and Hollis Thomas to give the Saints a strong rota-

tion. He ranked third on the team in 2006 with 5.5

sacks, and also has 57 tackles (31 solo), a pass

defense and a fumble recovery. His sack total was

his highest since having 6.5 in 2001.

LB SCOTT FUJITA

• The first free agent signed by the Saints in

2006 after the new staff was in place, the versatile

veteran has emerged as a leader of the defense and

was voted as one of two defensive captains for 2007.

Fujita led the team in tackles in 2006 with 117

stops. But it is his all-around contributions that have

captured every opponent’s attention. He had 3.5

sacks, two interceptions, eight passes defensed and

two forced fumbles. Fujita was named NFC

Defensive Player of the Week after his performance

vs. Atlanta, September 25, when he posted eight

stops, a sack, a pass defensed and a forced fumble.

In 2007, Fujita is tied for the team lead with 17

tackles through two games.

LB SCOTT SHANLE

• Acquired in a trade with Dallas on Aug. 23,

2006 in exchange for a conditional draft pick, Shanle

has been a vital part of the Saints’ defense since

arriving.

He is a three-down linebacker who can blitz,

cover running backs and tight ends and fill holes in

the running attack. He ranked second on the club in

2006 with 108 tackles – including a team-high 72 solo

stops – and has also forced a fumble and recorded a

career-best four sacks. In the 2007 offseason, Shanle

was re-signed by the Saints to a four-year contract.


WORTH NOTING ON DEFENSE

• The three newcomers starting at linebacker in

2006 – Fujita, Shanle and MLB Mark Simoneau –

combined for 309 tackles, 8.5 sacks, three intercep-

tions, 11 pass defenses and three forced fumbles

through 15 contests. Shanle and Simoneau were

acquired in trades before the shortly prior to the start

of the regular season. A veteran newcomer in 2007,

LB Brian Simmons, is expected to provide quality

depth and solid competition in the middle. During his

10-year career, the former first round draft pick has

started 115 of 124 games and notched 896 tackles,

23 sacks, 14 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries

S JOSH BULLOCKS, ROMAN HARPER &

KEVIN KAESVIHARN

• The trio at safety bring youthful energy in Bullocks

and Harper and veteran experience in Kaesviharn.

Third-year free safety Bullocks has been one of the

club’s most consistent performers on defense since

entering the starting lineup in week four in 2005. He

led the secondary in 2006 with 95 tackles (60 solo)

and also made a pair of interceptions, a forced fum-

ble and 10 passes defensed. Bullocks has started the

last 31 games for New Orleans. He is expected to

team with SS Roman Harper, who returns from a

season-ending knee injury suffered in game five last

season (32 stops, one sack, two passes defensed,

one forced fumble) to give the Saints a solid duo in

the deepest reaches of the secondary. Through two

games in 2007, Harper is tied for the team lead with

16 tackles. S Kevin Kaesviharn, signed in the off-

season from Cincinnati, brings experience, playmak-

ing ability and depth to the safety position. In 2006

with the Bengals, Kaesviharn led Cincinnati defend-

ers with six interceptions and made four sacks.

CBs JASON CRAFT, JASON DAVID, MIKE

McKENZIE & FRED THOMAS

• McKenzie tied his career-high with two interceptions

December 3, 2006 vs. San Francisco. He returned

his first pick 54 yards with 10:31 remaining in the

third quarter to set up a field goal that gave New

Orleans a 17-10 lead. McKenzie’s second intercep-

tion came on a deep pass early in the fourth quarter,

a diving catch at the New Orleans nine that ultimately

ended the 49ers’ comeback aspirations. For the sea-

son, McKenzie had 46 tackles (28 solo) and 15 pass-

es defensed. David was acquired from Indianapolis

as a restricted free agent. In three seasons as a

starter with the Colts, David posted 147 tackles (125

solo), three fumble recoveries and eight interceptions

with a touchdown return. In his debut with the Saints,

David forced a fumble which he returned 55-yards for

a touchdown at Indianapolis. Craft started two

games in 2006 and has been solid as the nickel cor-

nerback since joining the club in 2004. Craft had 52

tackles on the season – his highest total since 2002 –

an interception and 10 passes defensed. Thomas

notched 72 stops (46 solo), recorded two forced fum-

bles and 16 passes defensed in 2006 and will add

depth.

The Saints special teams units came up with four

game-changing plays in 2006. Against Atlanta on

September 25, 2006, S Steve Gleason blocked a

punt on the game’s fourth play that was recovered for

a touchdown by CB Curtis Deloatch, permanently

shifting the momentum in the 23-3 win for New

Orleans.

In the second quarter against the, S Josh

Bullocks blocked a field goal, which led to a quick

drive for a Saints field goal that gave New Orleans a

20-3 lead heading into halftime of the victory.

Against Tampa Bay in Week Five, key blocks by

Gleason, CB Jason Craft, TE Mark Campbell and

RB Aaron Stecker helped spring RB Reggie Bush

on a 65-yard TD on a punt return. The touchdown

proved to be the game-winner, and Bush was named

NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

On December 10, 2006 at Dallas, the Saints

recovered a perfectly-executed onside kick by K Billy

Cundiff that was recovered S Jay Bellamy at the

New Orleans 41. The play led to a 42-yard touch-

down pass four plays later, giving the Saints a 42-17

advantage.

K OLINDO MARE

• Acquired in an April trade with the Miami

Dolphins, Mare arrived in New Orleans as one of the

NFL’s most accomplished kickers over the last

decade and also as a special teams weapon on kick-

offs.

• Mare departed the Dolphins as the their all-

time leader in field goals (245), scoring (1,048) and

field goal accuracy (.809, 245 of 303). Since 1999,

126 of his kickoffs have gone for touchbacks, includ-

ing tying his career-high with an NFL-leading 24 last

season. In his debut with the Saints at Indianapolis,

Mare drilled two touchbacks, the highest total among

NFC kickers this week.

• In 2006. Mare led the Dolphins with 100

points, drilling 26 of 36 field goals and making all 22

PATs. He closed the season by making his last nine

field goal attempts.

• Mare’s career accuracy percentage of 80.4

ranks 13th in NFL history among kickers with at least

100 career field goals made. Mare has 12 game-win-

ning kicks in his career, and he has booted 15 field

goals of 50 yards or more, including one in the post-

season.

P STEVE WEATHERFORD

• An undrafted rookie in 2006, Weatherford

earned the starting punter spot in training camp and

had a solid season He has picked up where he left

off in 2007, as he has a 46.6 gross average, 40.6 net

average and has boomed a career-long 61-yarder.

He is currently ranked fith in the NFL in both net and

gross average.

PUNT/KICKOFF COVERAGE UNITS

• Under the guidance of special teams coordina-

tor John Bonamego, the club finished sixth in the

NFL in opponent punt return average (7.0) and

improved from 25th in 2005 in opponent kickoff return

average to 16th (22.2) in 2006, to 12th in 2007. He’s

worked in several new faces in the coverage units to

replace Steve Gleason, who will miss the season

due a knee injury and Fred McAfee, who retired after

15 NFL seasons to become the team’s director of

player programs. Players who expected to play key

roles in the coverage units in 2007 include S Jay

Bellamy, LB Troy Evans, S Kevin Kaesviharn, LB

Brian Simmons and RB Aaron Stecker and CB

Usama Young.

Stecker, the club’s special teams captain, added

nine (seven solo) special teams tackles in 2006,

along with returning 10 kicks for 216 yards (21.6

avg.). He remains a big part of the special teams

units. Stecker also continues to be a key part of the

offense. He had two rushes for 21 yards and two

catches for 20 yards in the season opener..

Evans was signed from the Houston Texans as

an unrestricted free agent in the offseason and is

expected to play an important role on the New

Orleans coverage units. He has recorded 69 special

teams stops and two fumble recoveries in his five-

year career and led the Texans with 13 stops in 2006.

depth.


WORTH NOTING ON SPECIAL TEAMS


After leading the club through

the most successful and memo-

rable year in franchise history,

Sean Payton enters his second

season as coach of the Saints.

In 2006, he directed the Saints

to a division title, the NFC

Championship Game and was

the unanimous choice for NFL

Coach of the Year.

The Saints went 10-6 in 2006

and advanced further into the

playoffs than ever before with an

overhauled roster that included

11 new starters. Payton

scrapped the NFL’s traditional

timetable for rebuilding and

changed the culture within the

team by stressing responsibility,

character and unity. New

Orleans stormed to a 3-0 start

for the first time under a new

coach, featured the league’s top-

ranked offense – a first in team

history – and clinched the NFC

South title before in Week 15.

He was voted Coach of the

Year by the AP, Pro Football

Weekly/Pro Football Writers of

America, The Sporting Newsand the Maxwell Club. Now he

has put the accomplishments of

2006 in the history books, and

set the club’s focus on the future.

Payton was hired as the 14th head coach in club

history on Jan. 18, 2006 after being a member of the

Dallas Cowboys staff since 2003. He enters his 11th

season in the NFL and 20th as a coach. Prior to his

final season with the Cowboys, Payton was promot-

ed to asst. head coach/passing game coordinator

and was responsible for the team’s play-calling.

For the prior two years with Dallas, he had been

asst. head coach/quarterbacks. Prior to joining the

Cowboys in 2003, he was with the New York Giants

(1999-2002) and the Philadelphia Eagles (1997-98).

Payton has had success tutoring quarterbacks

since arriving in the NFL. Last year, Drew Brees had

perhaps the best season for a quarterback in club

history, setting team records with a league-high

4,418 yards, 356 completions and a 96.2 rating.

With Payton handling the play-calling, the Saints’

offense ranked No. 1 in the NFL (averaging 391.5

yards per contest), set club records with 330 first

downs and 6,264 net yards and tied a team mark by

scoring 49 TDs. New Orleans rushed for 1,761 yards

and 19 TDs and was the only team in the league

with four players with over 650 receiving yards.

Since 2000, every passer under his guidance has

thrown for over 3,000 yards. The three starters he

worked with in Dallas – Drew Bledsoe, Vinny

Testaverde and Quincy Carter – all surpassed the

milestone. Bledsoe threw for 3,639 yards – third in

club history – and posted an 83.7 passer rating,

among the highest of his career.

In 2005, the Cowboys had the NFL's 13th-ranked

offense and finished tied for second in the NFC with

318 first downs. When Payton arrived the Dallas

ranked 31st in passing the prior year but improved to

17th, as Carter became the first Dallas quarterback

to throw for over 3,000 yards since 1997. In 2004

and 2005, they ranked 15th in the league in passing.

Payton came to Dallas after four years with the

Giants, the last three as offensive coordinator. They

had one of the NFL’s most pro-

ductive offenses and QB Kerry

Collins posted franchise-record

passing numbers. Behind his

club-record 4,073 passing yards,

the Giants finished 2002 as the

NFL’s sixth-ranked offense, their

highest ranking since 1985.

Payton solidified his reputation

as one of the game’s top offen-

sive minds in 2000. In his first

season as coordinator, the

Giants won the NFC title and

went to Super Bowl XXXV. They

scored 328 points – their highest

total since 1990 – finished 13th

in the NFL in offense and went

from 24th to 11th in rushing.

Payton was first assigned play-

calling duties prior to a game

against the Jets on Dec. 5, 1999.

The Giants responded by scor-

ing 41 points and gaining 490

yards – both season-high totals

– and he kept that assignment.

Over the next three years the

Giants passing attack continually

improved, ranking 13th in the

NFL in 2000, tied for eighth in

2001 and sixth in 2002. In the

decade before his arrival, they

hadn’t ranked above 20th.

Giants players under his guid-

ance during those years flourished. WR Amani

Toomer became the first player in club history to

catch at least 70 passes in four seasons (1999-

2002), and the first with four-consecutive 1,000-yard

seasons. RB Tiki Barber set a franchise record for

total yards in 2000 with 2,085 and in 2002 finished

second in the NFC in rushing.

Prior to joining the Giants, he spent 1997 and

1998 as Philadelphia’s quarterbacks coach. Payton

wrapped two coaching stints at San Diego State

(1988-89 and 1992-93) around a stop at Indiana

State (1990-91). During his second stretch with the

Aztecs, he was running backs coach, working with

Heisman runner-up Marshall Faulk before becoming

quarterbacks coach. After the 1993 season, Payton

moved to Miami of Ohio (1994-95) where he was

quarterbacks coach prior to being promoted to co-

offensive coordinator. He spent 1996 as quarter-

backs coach at Illinois before entering the NFL.

Payton earned a degree in communications at

Eastern Illinois, where he passed for 10,665 yards,

then the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA

history. The three-time AP All-American selection fol-

lowed his college career with stints with Chicago of

the AFL, Ottawa of the CFL and the Chicago Bears

in 1987. He was inducted into the EIU Hall of Fame

in 2000. Born Dec. 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif.,

and raised in Naperville, Ill., Payton and his wife,

Beth, have a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

2007 Events in All Bold


THE LAST TIME (CONT.)

SEAN PAYTON TRANSCRIPT, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17

Opening Statement: After watching the tape and

game again a few times, a lot of what I said yester-

day holds true. Tampa Bay did a real good job,

played and executed real well, made some big plays,

tackled real well and played with a lot of emotion. I

think that was evident when you watch the tape and

the game. I think from a consistency standpoint we

have struggled on offense, it’s pretty obvious that it is

hard to sustain a drive when we have a fumble or a

drop or a minus run, we end up falling behind on

down and distance, we have to look at the little

things, and not take any of the detail or the specifics

away from what we want. I said it yesterday, there

are certain things myself and my staff can do better

as well and we will look to do that. The thing I was

looking for today when I spoke to the team was guys

evaluating their own play in terms of being account-

able, and studying what they are doing well and what

they are struggling with. When you point to the

specifics, it sounds like a cliché, but it is about block-

ing, tackling, catching and protecting the football,

keeping the right leverage, being in the right position.

Those are some of the things that come up when you

are grading the tape. We have a little gut check here

to start the season. We’re going to have to respond

and correct some things. All of us need to do a bet-

ter job to get this thing headed in the right direction

and get a win. Our number one focus is preparing for

Tennessee and seeking our first win. It has to be that

way and we will do everything we can this next week

in preparation to do that.

Q: Are you contemplating any lineup changes?

A: I think that would be a little ahead of it right now.

That’s not to say that other guys won’t get a little

more playing time. I don’t know if I’d say that I am sit-

ting here debating a certain position so I think that

the answer is no. (CONT)

SEAN PAYTON TRANSCRIPT (Cont.)

Q: When you hit a tough stretch like this, do you

have to weigh being patient against changes?

A: The key is not fooling yourself, and the players not

fooling themselves. What are the things that keep

you from winning? You go through a sequence of

plays, opportunities and missed opportunities. I don’t

believe it is that guys just have to make plays. There

is more to it than that. Obviously you want guys to

make big plays. There is a lot that goes into that.

Yesterday there are some real good specific exam-

ples of Tampa Bay doing that in the passing game

getting the ball down the field. There is some exact-

ness of what they are doing in a route standpoint,

from a protection standpoint, to a location standpoint,

and where the quarterback is going, and their result

is a big play. But I think specifically there are a num-

ber of things we need to detail and clean up. The film

shows that.

Q: What do you think is the problem? Is it the intensi-

ty or aggressiveness?

A: I think that we came out with good focus and we

were ready to play. Just from a mental standpoint,

going into a tough division game on the road on a hot

day, I thought we were prepared mentally and physi-

cally to play. I will bring up just one example. We

exchange punts in the first half, gain a little field posi-

tion because they are punting away from Reggie,

receive the ball at midfield, get to third and three, run

off tackle for a pretty good gain and we fumble the

ball on their 40. Now there is a big swing there when

that field position we had just acquired from a bad

punt. Now all the sudden it’s the turnover thing that

comes to bite you in the butt. They follow it up with a

score to go up 7-0. Those are the things you look at

and tangibly say the ball was out too many times. It

wasn’t just Deuce. The first drive we had a couple

drops, so we didn’t sustain a drive and had to punt

the ball away on some three and outs. Same thing

being said on special teams and defense, there is an

exactness we want. There are some things looking at

that gamet we did effectively that I could have stuck

with a little bit more, in regards to type of run and the

holes we were hitting, but the turnovers kill you, and

they did yesterday. The big plays in the passing game

hurt you. Because you can play well, battle and hang

in there and then all of the sudden give up the big

pass and your efforts on first or second down or even

earlier in that series go to waste. Those are the

things we have to work to clean up and it would be

wrong for me to tell you that it is one specific position

or one side of the ball. I think that we play a comple-

mentary game, and when we struggle some offen-

sively, it hurts us defensively because they are on the

field more. When we are able to posses the ball and

convert third downs it complements us defensively.

They go hand in hand and right now we are not doing

that.

Q: Do you ever want to throw your hands in the air?

You have seen so many different defenses.

A: The last thing I ever want to do is throw my hands

in the air. I want to throw them in the air when we

score. We are going to work extremely hard to cor-

rect that, as coaches and as players. We have a lot

of games ahead of us but we have to get this correct-

ed soon.

Q: Is their a universal theme to all the breakdowns?

A: I don’t know if there is a universal theme other

than there were four or five balls completed yester-

day for more than 200 yards.

Q: I know you are trying to stress consistency, but

with playing a Thursday game and then coming back

and playing a Sunday game, now going into a

Monday game, is the inconsistent schedule a prob-

lem?

A: That should only help. We are going to practice

Wednesday like it was a regular week and make up

the latter part of the week with an extra day Saturday

so our schedule Wednesday will be much like it

always is. Thursday and Friday practice schedules

are the same. I think that we have a lot to clean up

and we have to do it soon. The only way I know how

to do that is to practice. When you play some odd

ball routines that is the nature of playing in this

league, a Thursday night game, Sunday night,

Monday night. That’s never going to change so that

comes with the territory so I am not looking to that for

an excuse. The schedule has allowed us plenty of

time to get ready for Tampa Bay.

Q: Is the start odd given that there are not any major

injuries and that you played well in the preseason?

A: It’s a tough game that way. You play a team like

Indianapolis to start the season, some things come

up in the second half of that game and all of the sud-

den you look back at that game and you have done a

number of things wrong, things that you would obvi-

ously want to correct. Yesterday we didn’t play well at

all against Tampa Bay. We have to make some cor-

rections and we have to get this thing headed in the

right direction very soon. I understand that. We need

to have that sense of urgency. It starts with us. It

starts with myself the head coach and right through to

player number 53. That’s what our plan is this week.

That’s the only way I know how to get this thing

going, just get back out and work on it. We can talk

about it all we want but this is a “show me” game so

we need to respond in the right manner.

Q: Last year that home opener meant so much, what

does it mean for you and the players to play in this

home opener?

A: I think that the situation is much different from a

year ago from the standpoint of returning to the

Dome. I am excited to get back home and gain an

edge with our fan base. I know that we will have

great support and it is an advantage for us to play at

home. I am looking forward to that more than any-

thing else because it will help us. It’s a good team we

are getting ready to play. Tennessee is a good team

and they lost a close game yesterday to Indy. This

will be a tremendous challenge and we are going to

have to play a lot better then we played these first

two weeks to have a chance to win this game.

Q: Why wasn’t Devery Henderson playing in the lat-

ter half of the game?

A: He struggled early on, and then he had a missed

assignment. I wanted to get Lance (Moore) some

work. One of the things I told CJ (Curtis Johnson),

with the weather, was to rotate those guys. We

brought guys in and out. He struggled early, and

some of those other guys have been playing pretty

well. I thought (David) Patten played pretty well yes-

terday. A lot of that was me, in working that rotation

and getting those guys in and out. I was trying to

keep my receivers fresh. But my expectation of how I

think he should play, and I think his as well is much

higher then what we saw. But he is not the only one.

BURNED AGAIN

Buccaneers air it out against the Saints’ secondary much like the pass-happy Colts did

By Benjamin Hochman

Times-Picayune

September 17, 2007

Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Joey Galloway watched the Saints' Swiss-cheese secondary against the

Indianapolis Colts and contained himself. That's the Colts, he thought, and they make most secondaries look

awful.

"You can't look at the Colts and think, 'Well, that's what we're going to do,' " Galloway said.

Well, that's exactly what the Buccaneers did, torching the Saints' secondary in Sunday's 31-14 victory Sunday

at Raymond James Stadium.

Numbers can sometimes be misleading, and no stat was more misleading than passing yards Sunday -- the

Saints had 244 passing yards, one more than the Buccaneers (1-1). Tampa Bay, in fact, only had 10 comple-

tions. But numerous completions were deep daggers; quarterback Jeff Garcia set a franchise record with 15.2

yards per pass.

Perhaps most disheartening for the Saints (0-2) was it wasn't just a certain type of defense that broke down.

They have allowed five pass touchdowns this season, and numerous defensive alignments have been

exposed -- man-to-man, base, two-deep zone, three-deep zone and even the five defensive back setup.

"You would think for sure it wouldn't happen with that many DBs in," Saints safety Kevin Kaesviharn said.

The Roadrunner had Wile E. Coyote, Galloway has the Saints. He scored two touchdowns Sunday, giving

him nine receiving touchdowns in six consecutive games he's played against the Saints, with at least one

score in each game. Throw in a 2005 punt return, and that makes 10 total scores.

"We always say: 'Take what they give us,' and they gave us a chance to get on their safeties a few times,"

said Galloway, who finished with four catches for 135 yards.

Galloway's first touchdown, which gave Tampa Bay a 14-0 lead in the second quarter, was designed for the

highlight reel. It was third-and-11, and Garcia threw a short slant to Galloway in the middle. Saints cornerback

Jason David, responsible for numerous breakdowns in the 41-10 loss at Indianapolis on Sept. 6, was closest

to Galloway, but far enough for the receiver to create separation. Kaesviharn had an angle on Galloway, but

receiver Michael Clayton smacked the safety to the ground.

Hard.

"That's what we do in our wide receiver room -- we headhunt," said Clayton, who played at LSU. "Everybody

knows me as a physical wide receiver, and Joey is one of the fastest guys in the league. If he gets a block,

he can take it to the house."

And Galloway did just that.

"It was like the old 49ers with Jerry Rice and John Taylor, catching a slant and taking it all the way," Garcia

said.

Leading 14-0 and with less than two minutes left in the first half, Tampa Bay began a drive from its 35.

First play -- a 41-yard yard pass from Garcia to Ike Hilliard.

"They were trying to play a soft Tampa-2 (zone defense), and we faked a run to the back. The middle line-

backer bit the cheese," Hilliard said. "I was fortunate enough to get by the nickel guy right in the sweet spot of

the cover-2, and as soon as I turned my head, the ball was in the air."

Second play -- a 24-yard touchdown pass from Garcia to Galloway.

"We got them in another defense where we thought we could exploit them," Hilliard said. "We called a post

route to Joey, he got a clean release."

Even when the Saints had a receiver smothered, it seemed useless. With Tampa Bay leading 21-0, Galloway

made a diving catch with safety Roman Harper glued to his back. It was a 41-yard catch, and Tampa Bay

scored three plays later.

"Of course, it's frustrating," Harper said. "And I have to take a brunt of that on my shoulders. We're going to

get better, but we can't continue to give up big plays. We'll keep harping on it."

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS FEATURE CLIPS

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Saints fall to 0-2 after second consecutive lopsided loss

By Mike Triplett

Times-Picayune

September 17, 2007

This probably doesn't come as much comfort to the mystified and mortified Saints fan base, but you can at

least rest assured that you're not alone.

The Saints are just as surprised as you that they're 0-2 for the first time since 1997, with one of the league's

most anemic offenses, one of the league's most penetrable defenses and one of the league's shakiest special

teams units.

Never once did it cross their minds that they could be outscored by a combined 48 points in their first two

games. Their expectations were just as high as yours heading into the 2007 season.

And maybe that's part of the problem, quarterback Drew Brees said after a stunning 31-14 loss to the Tampa

Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Maybe the Saints were just "expecting things to happen, expecting big plays to

happen."

"We know how good we can be as an offense. We know how good we were last year. And coming into this

year, we felt like we were even better. But maybe we were all just feeling like we had it figured out, and obvi-

ously we hadn't," Brees said after completing 26 of 44 passes for 260 yards with one touchdown and one

interception.

"We're used to going out there and making a lot of plays. But we have to allow those plays to come to us. We

have to just do what we've been coached to do, take it one play at a time, not try and force anything, and

those plays will happen.

"You do the right thing long enough, good things will happen to you. And I think unfortunately we're trying to

maybe force things right now."

The best the Saints have finished after an 0-2 start is 8-8 -- in 1979 and 1990.

When asked if he had an explanation for the offensive woes, Saints Coach Sean Payton was at a loss.

"I wish I did. I wish I did," he said, more rational than raging in his postgame press conference. "You know, I

wish I had something specific that I can say.

"The first thing I know is you can't turn the football over, though. I mean, you can't. It starts with that. That

won't change 10 years from now. You turn the football over, you get one less possession, they get one more,

field position changes, etc."

The Saints turned the ball over twice Sunday -- a fumble by Deuce McAllister in the first quarter with the

game scoreless, and Brees' interception in the third quarter. Both times, Tampa Bay responded with a touch-

down drive.

Fellow tailback Reggie Bush also fumbled twice in the first half, but he recovered one of them and Saints tight

end Eric Johnson recovered the other.

Still, it seemed like the mistakes were contagious as the Saints' offense continued to sabotage itself with

dropped passes, errant throws, missed blocks, penalties and another missed field-goal attempt.

"If you want to be quote-unquote the 'No. 1 offense,' you've got to put the work in," said McAllister, who

gained 49 yards on 10 carries. "That was last year. We're 0-2 (this year). That's what we have to look at. The

numbers don't lie. You can either change it and deal with it, or you're going to get your butt burned every

week."

The second game of the Saints' season was awfully reminiscent of the first -- a 41-10 loss at Indianapolis.

It would have felt like the movie "Groundhog Day," except that it came on a scorching late-summer afternoon,

with the on-field temperature pushing toward 120 degrees.

Once again, the Saints' defense played OK at times -- forcing five punts on the Buccaneers' first nine posses-

sions. But they were put in too many precarious positions and broke down too often.

Tampa Bay quarterback Jeff Garcia needed just 10 completions on 16 attempts to bury the Saints. Receiver

Joey Galloway -- a longtime Saints nemesis -- caught four of those passes for 135 yards and two touch-

downs. Tailback Carnell Williams, who ran for 61 yards, scored the other two touchdowns on 1-yard plunges.


Late in the third quarter, Tampa Bay led 28-0. It might as well have been 100-0.

By the time the Saints' offense finally scored its first touchdown of the season -- a 1-yard run by fullback Mike

Karney in the final minute of the third quarter -- it was way too little and way too late.

"I'm concerned defensively, offensively and on special teams," Payton said. "We've lost the first two games of

the season, and it hasn't been pretty."

Bush, who gained 27 yards rushing on 10 carries and caught six passes for 43 yards, said he hasn't been

impatient like he was early last year.

But he, too, couldn't put his finger on what has been holding him and the rest of the Saints' offense back.

"Maybe (we're pressing), maybe not. I just know that we're not playing like ourselves," he said. "And we're

really putting pressure on our defense by not scoring points."

One thing nobody seemed to do in the Saints' locker room was panic.

They have 14 games left this season -- beginning with their Superdome debut next Monday night against

Vince Young and the Tennessee Titans. And they're just one game back in the NFC South standings, where

no team is undefeated through two weeks.

"I feel like we've got the right group of people, and that's the most encouraging thing about where we're at

right now," Brees said. "Yeah, we're very disappointed. We're sitting here at 0-2, neither of these games have

been very close, we've played terrible. But we have the right group of people and the guys who can fix this

thing.

"And we will fix it. We will get back on track."

Stench from Saints’ play leaves lingering odor

By John DeShazier

Times-Picayune

Monday, September 17, 2007

It's OK to worry. It's understandable to panic. Because through two games, the Saints stink in every way a

team can.

They stink in the flat-out, no-doubt-about-it, the-season-could-rot-through-and-through kind of way.

They don't run, block, pass, catch, tackle, cover, kick or coach well, which means they don't score or prevent

opponents from doing so, either.

Sunday's 31-14 loss to Tampa Bay means the Saints have been outscored 72-24, that they're 0-2 and that

they're in no better shape than any team considered among the worst of the worst in the league.

And for the first time under Sean Payton, you don't get the feeling there are simple solutions to the myriad

problems that have surfaced during the first two weeks of the season.

"It is going to be hard to win in any game if you are putting it on the ground," Payton said of the Saints' three

fumbles, one of which was lost. "If you are dropping balls, if you are giving up big pass plays, all the other

stuff goes by the wayside."

Stuff like building up statistical advantages almost across the board -- 343-330 in total yards, 19-14 in first

downs and 33:08-26:52 in time of possession. Stuff like winning games and living up to the expectation of

being a Super Bowl contender.

Most concern was tempered after the Saints were drawn and quartered at the RCA Dome by Indianapolis in

the season opener, the thought being it wasn't horrifically shameful to be undressed by the reigning Super

Bowl champion, which simply field a superior product than most. That 41-10 beating was the kind of thing

Indy is capable of doing to any opponent on any given day.

But when the bashing extends to a Sunday at Raymond James Stadium, and the sledgehammer is wielded

by the Buccaneers -- who are less than imposing, four seasons removed from winning the Super Bowl and

have been a hop-skip short of laughable two of the past three seasons (Tampa Bay was 11-5 and won the

division in 2005) -- then it becomes more than an accumulation of small errors in technique that can be

cleaned up in the film room.

Moreover, it appears there's something going on between the ears of the Saints and of their opponents.


In New Orleans' locker room, doubt has to begin creeping in, regardless of what anyone says.

An offense this potent doesn't fail to score an offensive touchdown in 104 minutes and 11 seconds (49 sec-

onds shy of a full seven quarters), or miserably fail to run the ball, and not begin to question what's real or

imagined.

A defense that allegedly is upgraded and improved doesn't allow opponents to score 55 consecutive points,

and cover opposing receivers about as effectively as a Britney Spears' outfit, and not begin to hesitate.

"It's frustrating because we produced in the preseason," center Jeff Faine said.

Everywhere else in the NFL, the thought process is simple: If the Saints are Super Bowl contenders, they're

going to have to prove it every week, at home and on the road, in the face of the best effort of an opponent.

"A couple of Tampa Bay guys came up to me after the game and said, 'It's gonna be tough. Everybody is

gunning for you,' " linebacker Scott Fujita said.

So far, the Saints haven't dodged many hits. And the only conclusion to draw from the evidence presented is

they prematurely have been fitted for greatness, that the crown is too big, and the robe is so short it fits like a

vest.

"Each person has to be accountable for what we're doing," Deuce McAllister said. "I didn't get it done last

week, and I didn't get it done (Sunday)."

There are too many Saints to join him in that boat to keep it from capsizing. Whatever means of transporta-

tion they're using, it's plodding and smoking, and the gears are grinding.

"It's tough," Fujita said. "I've started the season 0-10 once before (with Kansas City) and it's rough. I'm not

sweating it too bad, but I'm not happy. Not happy at all."

Nobody can be with this kind of stench.

Mare Raring To Go

By Dave Lawrence

NewOrleansSaints.com

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

As the summer has gone along, the New Orleans Saints have rounded into shape with the regular season

opener growing nearer and nearer. Following a few less than outstanding performances early in the presea-

son, the Saints have looked more and more like a team ready to defend their division title in 2007.

One newcomer to the team that has impressed in his early outings as a member of the Black and Gold has

been kicker Olindo Mare. Since coming to town via a trade from the Miami Dolphins in April, the veteran has

brought a strong leg and a lot of experience to the Saints locker room.

After having his first field goal attempt in the Superdome blocked by massive Buffalo offensive lineman

Langston Walker, Mare has drilled all six of his three-point kicks along with six extra points to post 24 points

through four preseason contests. The 11th-year man is pleased with his performance so far.

“I feel like I’m doing well,” Mare said. “Obviously we had a problem with the blocked field goal against the

Bills, but I don’t know if that was because the guy is 6-9 or because we didn’t have our timing down. We fixed

that in the last few games.”

Not only is Mare remarkably accurate – he’s been good on 80.9% of his career field goal tries – but the

Syracuse alum has shown off an extremely strong right leg by pounding 12 of his 16 kickoffs into the end

zone this preseason. Six of those kickoffs have remained in the end zone for touchbacks, a number that

would probably be even higher in regular season action.

“I think a lot of teams are taking their chances on running the kickoffs out because a rookie isn’t going to

make the team by taking a knee in the end zone,” said the kicker. “As we’ve shown, our coverage is going to

be good if not the best and we continue to work every day.”

Mare feels like there will be more of the same to come, especially kicking in the controlled climate of the

Superdome eight times a year.

“There should be no reason that I don’t lead the league in touchbacks. If I’ve done it a couple times playing

outdoors, I should be able to do it playing indoors.”


Although Mare is a longtime pro, Thursday’s game will produce a first for him as he lines up against the

Dolphins for the first time after spending his first 10 NFL seasons with the South Florida outfit. The Saints

new #2 may see a lot of his old jersey when the ‘Fins first-team offense hits the field, but he has no regrets.

“It might be weird to see my old #10 with Trent Green wearing it, but other than that I’m really over everything

from Miami. I’ve been welcomed here and this is my team. It’s been eight months since I was last in uniform

for the Dolphins, but it will be fun.”

Mare is eager to get the regular season started, but always appreciates the chance to get some more live

snaps with his snapper and holder.

“It’s always good to get some game action with Kevin Houser and Jamie Martin and work a little more on our

timing.”

ROUNDING INTO SHAPE

By Mike Triplett

It hasn't been a very smooth ride for the Saints' defensive tackles this summer.

One starter, Brian Young, has missed the entire preseason with a broken foot. The other starter, Hollis

Thomas, reported to training camp overweight and out of shape.

But in the end, it might be the best thing that ever happened to the position group.

Young and Thomas have been steadily improving. In the meantime, backups Antwan Lake and Kendrick

Clancy have excelled as replacement starters over the past few weeks.

At a position where the Saints do more rotating than anywhere else on the defense, they suddenly seem

deeper than ever.

"That just makes them more dominant," defensive end Charles Grant said. "At that nose spot, Clancy and

Hollis rotating back and forth, that gives you a full motor the whole game. You've got Brian Young coming

back. Antwan Lake's game has increased tremendously. That's a great thing for this defense."

Saints Coach Sean Payton said he hasn't settled on his starters for Week 1 at Indianapolis, but it looks like all

four guys will be available.

Young still has not returned to practice full time, but he is doing more work on the side, and he is targeting

the game against the Colts for his return to live action.

Thomas, meanwhile, admits that he was farther along last year at this stage -- but he said he is "very, very

close."

"It was actually good to get to this point, where I'm hitting the line better, I'm getting my reads better, my

endurance is up, I'm a little quicker. It's working in the right direction for me," said Thomas, a 12-year veteran

who said he doesn't get too worked up about whether or not he's the starter.

"I was a starter for my first six or seven years (with the Philadelphia Eagles), then they saw fit to start a young

buck. But I was getting just as many plays anyway," Thomas said. "It's no big deal at this position. It would be

different if I was playing defensive end. They rarely come out of the game. But at the defensive tackle spot,

you know after about four or five plays, you're pretty much tapped out."

Clancy will be hard to unseat. The eight-year veteran was signed in June shortly after being released by the

Arizona Cardinals. An experienced starter, Clancy quickly has adapted to his fourth defensive system in four

years.

"You never want to become complacent, think that you're playing the best you've ever played. There's always

going to be things I need to do better," Clancy said. "But I think I've been preparing myself pretty good week

by week in the preseason to play."

Clancy, 6 feet 1, 305 pounds, was a little surprised and disappointed when the Cardinals released him -- part-

ly because they are switching defensive systems under a new coaching staff.

But he said he immediately felt like New Orleans would be a good fit, especially because his former position

coach at Ole Miss, Marion Hobby, is the Saints' defensive line coach.

"I think it was fortunate when he became available. It kind of shocked us all, because he was a guy that we


looked at even before, when we first got here," said Hobby, who said he has been pleased with the progress

of Clancy and Lake. "I'll tell you what, they're both doing a great job. I thought both of them had good camps.

Both of them have great work habits. Both of them are good solid run players, improving on the pass. They're

smart players, they don't like to make mistakes.

"You know, I think we've got a great meeting room. We've got good competition going on, even at the end

position. We've got guys who are really working their (butt) off to be good. And I'm excited about that."

Lake (6-4, 308) joined the Saints late last August and played well enough in a backup role to earn a two-year

contract extension in March. But he said he didn't know where he'd fit in for sure after the Saints re-signed

tackle Rodney Leisle, then added veterans Lance Legree and Clancy.

"I thought it was going to be an uphill grind, which it was at first," Lake said. "The Pittsburgh game, I didn't do

too well. But then I started to make some plays and get a better feel."

Lake and Clancy also said they are better off after surviving their first Millsaps experience.

Lake joined the team just as it was breaking training camp last year -- so he took a lot of heat from his team-

mates for missing out on the heat.

"When I heard about Millsaps a couple times, I was like, 'camp is camp.' It can't be no worse than I've already

faced," Lake said. "I went to West Virginia and I've been to Detroit and I've been to Atlanta in the heat. But

Millsaps was real. There's nothing like it. And they said it was worse last year, so I'm glad I wasn't there last

year. I'm sorry to say it, but I'm going to go ahead and say it. It was a grind."

Said Clancy: "It was a great experience, but I'm glad it's over."

Brees impresses everyone but himself with accuracy

By Brett Martel

Associated Press


Drew Brees doesn't seem very impressed with himself.

If it's not an act, then he's in the minority after completing nearly 90 percent of his passes (35 of 39) during

the past three preseason games.

"I can tell you about every one of those four incompletions that should be complete," Brees said. "I think

there's always room to improve."

For now, Brees will have to wait until the regular season opener Sept. 6 at Indianapolis to see if he can do

even better. Head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that he will sit Brees out during the Saints' final pre-

season game at home against Miami this Thursday night.

But based on Brees' recent performances, he already appears to be as sharp, if not more so, than last sea-

son, when he led the NFL in passing by connecting on 356 of 554 passes (64.3 percent) for 4,418 yards and

26 touchdowns.

In two series against Buffalo on Aug. 10, he was 12-of-14 for 118 yards. The following week at Cincinnati, he

played only one series, but hit all six of his throws for 55 yards. Then last Thursday at Kansas City, he was

17-of-19 for 182 yards and a touchdown.

If that wasn't impressive enough, the Saints' top two receivers -- Marques Colston (knee) and Devery

Henderson (hamstring) -- both sat out the past two games with minor injuries.

Receiver David Patten said Brees does not have a go-to guy. Rather, he spends practices cultivating as

many options as he can find within Payton's versatile offense, then throws to whomever is open.

Against Kansas City, Brees spread completions among three different wide receivers, a tight end, two running

backs and a fullback.

Such balanced distribution of the ball and passing efficiency reminded Patten of another quarterback he

played with: New England's Tom Brady.

"The only thing separating them is the rings," Patten said. "The work ethic, attitude, leadership skills. I'll tell

you what, man, they're not far apart.

"A receiver is sometimes going to make a quarterback look good, but for the most part, nine times out of 10,

it's the quarterback making the receiver look good," Patten continued. "So you have a quarterback as good

as Drew, and a receiver knowing that the ball's going to be in the right spot away from the defender -- it just

gives you that much more confidence as a receiver so you can put moves on defensive backs and things like


that."

An important similarity to Brady, Patten said, is Brees' ability to make players across the offense, from starters

to reserves, feel involved and important.

"With all the success that he's had, he could be lifted up and think that it's all about him, but if you have a

chance to visit with him, you will know that's far from his mentality," Patten said.

A remarkable aspect of Brees' performance in 2006 was that it came one season after a throwing-shoulder

injury forced him to have complicated surgery and go through months of rehabilitation that extended all the

way into training camp.

This year, Brees arrived at training camp saying he felt stronger than ever, and it has shown in recent presea-

son games and during practice.

Saints safety Roman Harper said it can be discouraging when Brees, during two-minute drills, picks apart the

Saints' secondary and leads the offense to a score in about 45 seconds.

Then Saints defenders watch him move the ball on other teams, "and that just puts it in reality for us that

we're really not as bad as we think sometimes."

Brees turns up the heat

By LARRY HOLDER

Biloxi Sun Herald, Monday, August 27, 2007

METAIRIE, La. -- Reggie Bush called the preseason a time for fine tuning as the New Orleans Saints are less

than two weeks from opening up the season.

The Saints running back laughed at the notion of quarterback Drew Brees needing any sort of manicuring.

One quick glimpse at Brees' statistics during the preseason justifies Bush's chuckle.

Brees was near perfect throughout the preseason, completing 36 of his 45 passes for 361 yards and one

touchdown. His completion percentage of 80 percent ranks at the top of the league during the preseason.

For Brees, he actually anticipated better results.

"I think it's what you expect," Brees said. "In the preseason, you want to look efficient and sharp. That's obvi-

ously what I've tried to do. I can tell you about every one of those four incompletions that should be complete.

I think there's always room to improve."

Coming off a season where he launched the football for 4,418 yards, 26 touchdowns and only 11 intercep-

tions, Brees can still nit-pick his performance as if it were only average. Perfection is his only way with this

high-octane attack.

"I feel like we're moving along pretty well," Brees said. "I think we've played with a great tempo, great emotion

and have moved the ball really well this preseason. Obviously, the emphasis will continue to be the red zone

efficiency, wanting to score touchdowns there.

"Obviously you're also concerned about third-down efficiency. You're trying to go down the field and wear

them down. We also need to take care of the football. One thing that we also need to improve upon from last

year is our giveaway-takeaway ratio."

Saints newcomer David Patten may have benefited best this preseason from Brees' precision. The oft-injured

wide receiver caught six passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City last Thursday to help solidify

his spot on the roster.

Patten knows a thing or two about playing with frontline quarterbacks from his days with Tom Brady in New

England. When Patten arrived in New Orleans, one of the first things Brees asked Patten was about how

Brady went about playing.

The veteran wideout can't find any differences between the two.

"I would go as far to say after playing with Tom Brady, he's one of the best in the league, that I have to put

Drew right there with him," Patten said. "I tell you what, you never really appreciate a great quarterback until

you have a chance to play with guys not as good.

"He really makes your job easy as a receiver. You know when the ball comes to you, it's going to be in the

perfect spot and away from the defender. It gives you a lot of confidence at receiver knowing that when you

catch the ball, you're going to be able to make a move on the defender and make a big play."

The multi-talented Bush said even he finds himself having to raise his level of play just to hang with Brees.


"Drew, he's always playing with a chip on his shoulder. That's what we love about him. He's always trying to

get better. He's always going to be on his A-game. For the rest of us, we have to be on the same page as

him."

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

McAllister eager for even more postseason success

By LARRY HOLDER

SUN-HERALD

Sunday, August 26, 2007

Gov. Deuce McAllister. Has a certain ring to it.

The New Orleans Saints running back and Mississippi icon already owns numerous car dealerships across

Jackson and beyond. McAllister created his own chicken sandwich masterpiece named "The Deuce" being

sold at McAlister's Deli. His other business ventures along with his well-documented charitable donations

make him a logical choice.

Is the easy transition into the governor's mansion in McAllister's future?

"Not right now," McAllister said, in true diplomatic form. "We'll see what it looks like in 10 years.

"Right now I'm just enjoying football. That's probably the most important thing. Football has just opened up a

lot more avenues. There's so many opportunities that you just have to take advantage of. There's some

things that I'm interested in and have fun in and all the companies are good companies to work with."

What about TV?

"Tiki (Barber) can have it," McAllister said.

McAllister has some unfinished business to attend to on the football field. The first taste of playoff success for

the 29-year-old tailback has him hungry for more. The way the offense moved the ball during the preseason,

McAllister said the Saints should be able to score at will against anyone.

"It's still all about what we want to do as an offense," McAllister said. "Coach Payton says it's a faceless

opponent, we're playing against ourselves. If we can go out there and do what we're supposed to, then it

doesn't matter who we go against."

The bruising 6-foot-1, 235-pound running back said he's the healthiest he's been since tearing his ACL in

2005 against the Green Bay Packers. The injury could have slowed him down to the point where his career

could have been in jeopardy.

McAllister wouldn't let it.

He rushed for 1,057 yards and 10 touchdowns and picked up an 11th on a fumble recovery in 2006.

McAllister also averaged 4.3 yards per carry in regular season.

It was all-world rookie Reggie Bush receiving all the hype, though. McAllister never wavered in his attitude

toward Bush. He didn't mind being out the spotlight. Their relationship grew in the process.

"Probably the best thing about us is that we can talk to each other off the field and on the field," McAllister

said. "We have fun being around each other whether it's just joking or being serious. It's all for the good of

the team."

"It's interesting because he goes out when he's in L.A. and all the cameras are following him. I just help him

and tell him to try and be careful. He knows that football is always going to be his ticket."

Bush has displayed continued improvements throughout the offseason and credits McAllister early and often.

"From the time I came to the team, Deuce has welcomed me with open arms," Bush said. "He has been

nothing but a great leader for me and a guy that has taught me how to play like a pro and how to handle your

lifestyle as a pro. He's been great and has been a big help to me and I couldn't think of a better person to

show me how it's done."

Too bad for McAllister that he threw himself back atop the marquee in the NFC divisional playoff game

against the Philadelphia Eagles. He broke through for 143 yards on the ground, one rushing touchdown and

a game-winning receiving touchdown as he led the Saints to the NFC championship game.

"Deuce McAllister is one of the toughest guys in the league to tackle, to bring down. He's just a horse, so I

love the fact," Saint quarterback Drew Brees said.

Having his best game of the season against the Eagles in the Louisiana Superdome in January, McAllister

said, brought a sense of fortitude to repeat his feats this season.


"I think it resembles the determination of this city," McAllister said. "They've given everything they've had, and

we've given them everything we've had as a team."

Father Time stands as one of his biggest enemies the closer he inches to 30, the age where most NFL teams

put their running backs out to pasture. The Saints appeared to be going in that direction.

Taking Bush with the No. 2 overall pick in last year's draft was too good to pass up. Then the Saints traded

up on Day 2 of this year's draft to take Ohio State's Antonio Pittman in the fourth round. Pittman is of similar

ilk to McAllister as he

does his damage inside the tackles.

Yet McAllister remains the Saints' top option out the backfield. He understands he's endured some wear and

tear and it's something you have to work through.

"You just play the game and try to be as productive as possible," McAllister said. "If you can't be productive,

then they can say whatever they want about us being old. But if you're still making plays, then that's the most

important part about it. You look at some of the guys like Curtis Martin who still had success. You look at what

Tiki Barber did and you look at Jerome Bettis. There's been guys who 'defy the odds' and ignore what the

experts say. At the same time, it's all about how you take care of your body and live your life."

But he's not ready to hang anything up. Well there is one thing - a Super Bowl championship banner in the

Superdome.

3rd year, former Toledo star Moore emerging as Saints receiver, returner

By BRETT MARTEL

The Associated Press

Wednesday, August 22, 2007

If pro football didn't work out, Lance Moore could always try being an action hero in the movies.

He has a black belt in karate, a sleek and sculpted body, quick feet, quick hands, and the former marketing

major looks comfortable talking on camera as long as reporters will let him.

Yet, even after a shoulder injury ruined his scheduled appearance at the NFL Combine, even after he wasn't

drafted, even after the one team in his home state that gave him a tryout - the Cleveland Browns - cut him

before the 2005 training camp ended, it never occurred to Moore that he wouldn't make it in the NFL.

"Success is something I've been striving for forever. It started with karate when I was 3 years old. I've always

been taught to win and not give up," Moore said Tuesday between practices at the New Orleans Saints'

headquarters. "I just told myself that I'm going to make it. That was pretty much it. It's never really crossed my

mind, what am I going to do if this doesn't work out? It's just, give it time and it's going to work out."

If he does find a permanent spot on the Saints' active roster, Moore wouldn't be the smallest guy in the

league at his position, but he doesn't have a prototypical receiver's build, either.

He's listed at 5-foot-9, 177 pounds. In fact, he weighs closer to 190 pounds now, he says, and would have

been closer to that weight when his pro career began if not for a partial tear of cartilage in his shoulder during

the 2004 Motor City Bowl, when he played for Toledo.

Moore was one of the best receivers special teams players Toledo ever had. By the time he finished his col-

lege career, he had compiled school records of 222 receptions for 2,776 yards and 25 touchdowns in 50

games. He also was a special teams standout, returning two punts for touchdowns.

That career earned him an invitation to the Combine, and he hoped to be drafted, but the bowl game injury

caused him to lose weight, he said and left him unable to perform at the event.

After Cleveland cut him, the Saints picked him up. He spent much of 2005 and 2006 on the practice squad

however and still has yet to make himself a fixture on an active roster.

Last season, he had several things working against him. He hadn't yet refined his receiving skills to get regu-

lar work there, and the Saints already had a prominent kick and punt return specialist in 34-year-old Michael

Lewis.

During the offseason, however, head coach Sean Payton decided to waive Lewis, who was 35 and struggling

to work his way into games as a receiver.

Payton cherishes active roster spots and tends to look for players who can contribute in multiple ways. Moore

has proven an ability to do more than most. He's in the rotation returning both kicks and punts. He can also


play receiver and he on kick coverage teams.

"Not taking anything away from Michael, but as you looked at Michael Lewis and how I looked at him was as

a returner first who could play receiver," Payton said. "In Lance's case, he's someone who has improved as a

returner but is a little further along as a receiver."

Moore's growth at receiver was never more apparent than at Cincinnati last Saturday night. He led the team

with six catches for 70 yards. It didn't hurt his stock that he ran back a kickoff 47 yards and played mistake-

free on punt returns.

A game earlier, Moore had inexplicably fielded a punt on the Saints' 6 when he should have let it take a likely

bounce into the end zone. Payton let Moore hear about it, but gave him a shot to redeem himself.

"I knew I had to show up. I knew I had to play well in the return game and definitely not make any mistakes

like that again," Moore said. "I feel like I can't have any kind of a bad game, regardless of what my situation is

- roster or bubble guy or anything like that. I feel like I've got to go out every day and continue to prove

myself."

Based on quarterback Drew Brees' assessment this week, Moore has proven himself rather well since the

Saints reported for training camp late last month.

"If I were to give a guy the MVP of training camp, it would probably be Lance Moore. That guy has been

incredible," Brees said. "He's caught the eye of everybody here. I think we all kind of saw him progressing

and he's playing hard. I definitely think he can contribute for us this year. ... I'm excited about where he's at

and where he could be."

Karney Leads The Way

Rustin Legendre

NewOrleansSaints.com

Tuesday, August 21,2007

Mike Karney will always cherish December 10, 2006.

It was the night he was in the ‘zone.’ He could do no wrong.

“It was a magical night for me,” said Karney, the Saints’ 5’11” 258 lb. bowling ball of a fullback. “Everyone has

that one moment as an athlete. That night, I felt like anything I did turned to gold.”

It was that night when Karney scored his first career touchdown--followed by his second and third--as the

Saints stormed into Dallas and dominated the Cowboys 42-17. Karney finished the game with a two-yard

touchdown plunge and two scoring receptions.

“Just to play a big role in that night was pretty special,” Karney said.

There aren’t too many nights, though, like December 10, 2006 for Karney as the Saints’ starting fullback.

Karney, who was voted second-team All Pro by the Associated Press and is regarded as one of the best

blocking fullbacks in the NFL, rarely touches the ball. He rarely gets national attention and is seldom men-

tioned as one of the Saints’ top offensive weapons.

And he couldn’t be happier.

“My position is an unsung position, but I just try to bring my lunch pail every day and lead by example. You

can score touchdowns and catch balls, and that’s fun. But there’s nothing like hearing the crowd roar when

Deuce (McAllister) or

Reggie (Bush) break a long run,” the fullback said.

Karney enjoys blowing up a middle linebacker on a running play as much, if not more, than when he blew up

the stat sheet against Dallas in 2006.

“It’s a feeling like I can’t describe. It almost feels like a touchdown for me when I do my job and the back is off

and running,” says Karney. “It’s why I play the game.”

Karney’s unselfish attitude, toughness and grit have made him an invaluable cog in the Saints’ offense and

his teammates in the backfield credit much of their success to his services.

“He’s an extended part of the offensive line,” said running back Deuce McAllister. “He’s a lot like the five guys

up front--as far as my success, Drew’s success and Reggie’s success--a lot of it depends on him.”

“He’s a guy who plays a very important role with what we do on offense,” said Pro Bowl starting quarterback


Drew Brees. “He’s so versatile and he’s a great ball-catcher out of the backfield, and plus he’s just a tough

presence.”

Karney’s bone-jarring blocks and fiery attitude infuse an electric energy into the Saints’ offense when things

get too calm. “He’s the guy, you know when there’s kind of a lull in the game, all of a sudden here comes

Mike Karney knocking the middle linebacker on his tail and that gets everybody going again,” says Brees.

Karney never takes a play off. Not even in practice. In fact, he sets the bar when it comes to intensity and he

makes his teammates he practices against better.

“He’s just a throwback,” says linebacker Mark Simoneau. “On the isolation plays you have to really bring it

because he’s going to bring it every time. He’s a complete fullback and he makes us better competing against

him every day.”

Karney’s allies and adversaries will both attest his calling card is toughness. While exuding a polite smile and

extending a “hello” off the football field, Karney possesses a bitter demeanor and a mean streak when the

pads and helmet are put on.

“You see the nastiness. That’s the first thing you notice about how he goes about his job,” says McAllister.

“You know when he’s mad. He’ll start talking real fast and it comes out funny. He’ll turn jet-red and all that, but

it’s all for the good of the team.”

Karney has missed only one game in his career since being drafted in the fifth round in 2004 out of Arizona

State, where he started 28 of 46 games and hauled in 37 catches for 308 yards with a touchdown. His con-

sistency is a key reason the Saints selected him.

Karney’s energy and endurance are infectious. His teammates look to him for a jolt when the monotony of

long practices and team meetings can wear players down.

“He’s never a guy who would make you think he’s tired,” says Brees. “He always looks like he’s got another

play in him. He keeps everybody going.”

The position of true blocking-fullback is a dying breed in the NFL. Offenses are more pass oriented and three

wide receiver sets are the norm. The I-formation is becoming a lost art in professional football.

But Karney knows that great runners in the NFL have great blockers in front of them. That’s why he takes

such pride in what he does for the Saints. “The passing game has gotten pretty intense over the past ten to

15 years,” acknowledges Karney. “But I always say, look at the top five running backs in the league. Who do

they have in front of them as a fullback?” he inquired as a grin crept across his face.

“LaDanian Tomlinson has Lorenzo Neal. Ahman Green, when he was in Green Bay, had William Henderson.

Sean Alexander has Mack Strong. The list goes on.”

Karney tries to follow their footsteps, or blocking lanes, if-you-will. “Those veteran guys set a great example

at the fullback position, so it’s on the younger guys like myself and other fullbacks in the league to carry that

torch,” said Karney.

Karney will continue to mold his game after former and current great fullbacks as he paves the way for the

two-headed backfield of Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush. He is the Saints’ secret weapon who does the

dirty work while the rest of the offense works their magic.

And he’ll continue to love his role on the team.

Even if magical nights like December 10, 2006 are few and far between.

Payton needs to thank his lucky stars for Brees

By Peter Finney

Times-Picayune

Friday, August 17, 2007

A week after Sean Payton handed the football to Tyler Palko and told the rookie quarterback, "let's see what

you can do," he's scheduled to hand it to newly arrived Matt Baker on Saturday night for a preseason audition

against the Cincinnati Bengals.

It's all a work in progress for a Saints coach on the way to firming up the depth chart behind Drew Brees.

Ah, Drew Brees.

So long as the man, who last season threw for 26 touchdowns, completed 64 percent of his passes and was

in charge of an offense that generated 6,264 yards, remains in good health, Payton has at least one reason

to sleep peacefully.


When it comes to dealing with the most critical position on a football team, a look around the NFC South -- at

Carolina, Atlanta and Tampa Bay -- tells you how fortunate Payton is.

In Panther-land, 32-year-old Jake Delhomme, the ex-Saint, remains the most successful quarterback in team

history. But in the wake of an 8-8 finish, Coach John Fox saw fit to bring in a "name" of sorts in 27-year-old

David Carr, the former No. 1 pick of the Houston Texans. Carr has started more NFL games than Delhomme

but has fewer victories.

His problem: Too jumpy in the pocket.

Moving on to the Atlanta Falcons, it's obvious any problems the Panthers might have are minor.

The more you read about Michael Vick's dogfighting miseries, the more it seems he could be a no-show in

2007. Apparently, first-year coach Bobby Petrino has come to the conclusion that Vick, even if he by some

miracle overcomes his legal troubles, would be more of a distraction than savior.

Arthur Blank, who became a billionaire thanks to Home Depot, paid $545 million for the Falcons in 2002. In

time he would hand Vick, in guaranteed millions, one of the finest contracts in the league.

It now turns out the Falcons could have compounded their headache by trading away backup Matt Schaub to

Houston, leaving Vick's position in the hands of Joey Harrington, acquired from the Miami Dolphins.

Think about it. Schaub, a third-round choice of the Falcons in 2004, was traded to the Texans in March (for

multiple picks) because the Falcons felt they might lose him in free agency. It was a trade made shortly

before the Falcons learned of the link between Vick and pit-bull warriors.

The world turns, and Schaub, who started two games in three seasons with the Falcons, will open 2007 as

the starting quarterback of the Texans.

Moving on to Tampa Bay, under the umbrella of Coach Jon Gruden, the quarterback position has been, let's

say, an on-going work in progress.

In his five seasons as coach of the Buccaneers, Gruden has started seven quarterbacks, the first being a

"no-name" in Brad Johnson, who helped Gruden win a Super Bowl in his first season at Tampa Bay.

Here's the interesting part. Gruden went to Tampa Bay from Oakland, where he tutored Rich Gannon to star-

dom. In the Super Bowl won by Gruden, the Bucs defeated Gannon and the Raiders.

According to Gruden watchers, the Tampa Bay coach has been looking for a Rich Gannon ever since.

At the moment, Gruden has had three losing seasons in the past four years, including a 4-12 season in '06.

At the moment his starting quarterback is 37-year-old Jeff Garcia, who's playing for his fourth team in four

years, after being brought in from the Eagles.

When the Bucs opened training camp last month, Gruden had seven quarterbacks. One was Jake Plummer,

who had been signed in March from Denver. The trade for Plummer came at the time Gruden was introducing

Jeff Garcia as his likely starter. As camp opened, Plummer announced his retirement.

Currently, Gruden's depth chart reads like this: Jeff Garcia, Chris Simms, Bruce Gradkowski, Luke McCown.

In 2005, Simms sparked a late-season rush to put the Bucs in the playoffs. In '06, he suffered a ruptured

spleen in the third week of the season, handing the job to Gradkowski, a sixth-round pick, who finished 3-8 as

the starter. McCown missed last season because of torn tendons in his knee.

Gruden also brought in Daunte Culpepper for a visit last month, if only to inquire about his availability should

an "opportunity" arise. Culpepper signed with the Oakland Raiders on July 31.

"I'm not going to apologize for looking," Gruden said at the time.

Who can forget Culpepper?

He's the guy Nick Saban wound up with in Miami to run the Dolphins in '06, after the franchise bowed out of

the Drew Brees derby. I'm convinced had the Dolphins signed Brees, Saban would still be in the NFL and not

somewhere else coaching a college team.

But that's another story.


Act II could be even better for Bush

________________________________________

By Len Pasquarelli

ESPN.com

JACKSON, Miss. -- He couldn't avoid the hit and even now, a little more than six months later, Reggie Bush

can't dodge the graphic reminder of the human train wreck in which the Saints' star tailback was an unwitting

participant.

Whether it's walking through an airport, sitting in the dining hall here at Millsaps College or even lounging in

his dorm room, there it is.

Plastered across the cover of the current edition of Sports Illustrated, above a headline that screams "BIG

HITS," is Bush being laid out by Philadelphia cornerback Sheldon Brown in the first quarter of a divisional-

round playoff game in January. In what the former Heisman Trophy winner has acknowledged was the most

bone-rattling collision of his career at any level, Bush is shown with both his feet off the ground, nearly paral-

lel to the Louisiana Superdome turf and rendered limp, compliments of Brown's right shoulder.

Mere mention of the picture elicits a cringe from Bush, then a smile.

He is quick to remind us that, after having all the air expelled from his lungs, he returned to the game and

took his normal snaps in the time-sharing arrangement with fellow tailback Deuce McAllister, helping the

Saints dispatch the Eagles with 95 all-purpose yards and a 4-yard touchdown run. He might have been de-

cleated, Bush noted, but he wasn't defeated.

"Great hit, but, hey, I'm a man, and you've got to get up from that stuff," he said after a Friday training camp

practice. "I'm a lot tougher man than people think."

Bush, 6 feet and 205 pounds, is perhaps even tougher than a year ago, thanks to an intense offseason train-

ing regimen that included a course in something called free flow do. With his veneer well enough armored, he

figures to take on a little bit more punishment his second time around the league.

Reggie Bush had 1,523 all-purpose yards last season and established a rookie record for receptions by a

running back (88).

And with the Saints viewed as a potential powerhouse and the feel-good, post-Katrina resurrection of 2006 a

Cinderella tale that's over, Bush also knows New Orleans isn't apt to receive the same warm and fuzzy wel-

come in opposition stadiums. Nor is he. Bush seems girded for a little good-natured hatin'.

"I want us to be so good," Bush said, "that when we're on the road, the fans [from the other team] come and

stand outside our hotel, surround the place, you know, and chant [stuff] at us. I want people to think, 'Oh crap,

here come the Saints.' And then, after that, I want the defense from the other team to be thinking, 'Oh crap,

here comes Reggie.'"

Bush might get his wish.

Early in his second training camp, coach Sean Payton already is taking steps to remind his team that it

shouldn't view last season's turnaround, when the Saints fell one win shy of their first Super Bowl, as any-

thing more than a solid foundation for sustaining success. New Orleans appears deep and talented and,

assuming quarterback Drew Brees remains healthy, capable of contending for a title.

As for Bush, Act II could be better than a debut season in which he rang up 1,523 all-purpose yards, estab-

lished a rookie record for receptions by a running back (88) and created some of the season's most electrify-

ing individual moments.

Payton has said the Saints must be more aware of the need to call more inside running plays for Bush and

more outside runs for McAllister to keep defenses off guard. With the Saints' playbook tweaked in the offsea-

son, such an occasional role reversal will be part of New Orleans' offense in '07. As will an initiative to get

Bush, who had 155 rushes for 565 yards and six rushing TDs in 2006, more carries.

"Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that, first and foremost, Reggie is a running back," Payton said.

"There are a lot of ways for us to get him the football. But the simplest way is still for us to just hand it to

him."

New Orleans did a marvelous job in '06 of mixing and matching its tailback tandem, and the performances of

McAllister -- one of the game's best but underappreciated backs -- and Bush helped New Orleans to the No.

1 statistical ranking on offense. Although McAllister had 89 more rushes than Bush during the season, from

scrimmage he actually had just 31 more touches, fewer than two per game. Throw in punt returns, and Bush

had 271 touches, three fewer than McAllister.

Said Brees, the team's most irreplaceable component: "I thought [the offense] did a really good job accentuat-

ing the strengths of both guys. The distribution was good. But I also think we just scratched the surface."


Bush wants the ball more, especially between the tackles. Viewed as a quarterhorse, he would prefer to be a

workhorse. If he ran the ball 20-25 times per game, Bush said with no hint of braggadocio, he "would score

two or three touchdowns every time out there." However, he knows that with running mate McAllister around,

that isn't feasible. And probably isn't prudent, either.

Still, in speaking of how his debut season taught him that the best runners in the NFL tend to be the most

patient runners -- guys who allow the play to develop instead of trying to force the action -- Bush referenced

the second quarter in the Saints' Christmas Eve win over the Giants.

Trailing 7-6 with 10:30 remaining in the first half, and starting from their own 11-yard line after Bush returned

a Jeff Feagles punt for no yards, the Saints went 89 yards in 18 plays. Bush carried on nine of those plays,

gaining 69 yards. He didn't catch a pass in the series, but had runs of 17, 7, 7, 2, 10, 5, 10, 1 and 10 yards.

The plays went to every possible hole on the field, up the middle, off-tackle, around the end.

"On that series," guard Jamar Nesbit said, "he showed he was an NFL runner."

Reminded that it was a pass play that earned him the dubious spot on the Sports Illustrated cover, a flare

pass designed to get him matched up on a linebacker, Bush laughed.

"Oh yeah, I know," he said. "And I still want to catch the ball, too, because that's part of what makes me who I

am. But give me the ball inside or outside, it doesn't matter, and people will see what I'm really made of."

Saints' Grant full of dough but still hungry

Monday, July 30, 2007

John DeShazier

JACKSON, MISS. -- How do you stay hungry when you've already been fed?

Not an appetizer. The complete buffet, stocked with every imaginable favorite, five times over.

Charles Grant doesn't hesitate. The one-time franchise player, now long-term signee (seven years, potentially

worth $63 million, with $20 million guaranteed) promises to be the same player or better now that he has got-

ten paid. The Saints are counting on it -- otherwise, the franchise wouldn't have met the defensive end's

price.

"It has nothing to do with money," Grant said, though he was less than pleased with having the franchise tag

stuck on him and even less pleased with the initial round of negotiations.

"I never wanted to be a distraction," he said. "You want what you deserve. That's what I felt I deserved. It

wasn't a long fuss, wasn't a long turmoil. I knew it was going to get done when (Coach Sean Payton) called

me and told me, 'You'll be here in a month's time.'

"Money is stability for your life. (The contract) tells me that they paid me, they respect me, my teammates

were backing me, the head coach respects me, the owner respects me, and they expect me to go out there

and perform to my best.

"I don't want to be one of those guys you look at and say, 'Hey, they gave him the money, he don't want to

play.' I want to go out there and be hungrier than ever, help this organization win a Super Bowl, go to the Pro

Bowl, and help this defense be a better defense than what it was last year."

A good starting place for all that will be Grant continuing to play at a high level.

After an awful 2005 season, when he had just 2 1/2 sacks, he bumped up the total to six last season. That

still is down from his 2003 and 2004 totals of 10 and 10 1/2 sacks, respectively. And even defensive ends

have to be judged on more than sacks; optimally, a team wants a complete player, one it doesn't have to take

off the field on certain downs.

But reality is that defensive ends largely are judged on, and paid by, their ability to sack quarterbacks or to

hurry them. Grant's 36 sacks in the past five seasons are more than any current Saints player, and the rea-

son most believe he had a rebound season in 2006 is because of the increased sack total; he was credited

with more tackles in 2005 (75) than in

2006 (71). So Grant knows exactly what's expected and the route he has to take to get there.

"Just stay hustling," he said. "You've got to keep your motor running all the time. That's the thing about it in

this business. If you keep an open motor, then you're going to always make plays."

Make enough of them, and you can build a foundation with a team.

Grant, a first-round pick in 2002, is entering his sixth season as a Saint. That makes him, at 28, the fifth-


longest tenured Saints player, behind long snapper Kevin Houser and cornerback Fred Thomas ('00), and

running back Deuce McAllister and injured safety/special teams stud Steve Gleason ('01).

If he makes it to the end of his contract -- and the deal is back-loaded, so the last three years might make it

difficult for the Saints to retain Grant if he doesn't restructure -- he likely will be the longest tenured. And he

certainly will have been one of the most productive.

"It's six years for me," Grant said. "It's been a blessing. I think I'll retire here, which is a blessing, when you

know that people have put six, seven years of investments in you (via the new contract) and you're in your

sixth season.

"That gives you 12, 13 years in this business, and that's a wonderful thing. And I hope I can get all 13 in New

Orleans. But you've got to set examples for the younger kids, let them know it's not an easy business. You've

got to work every year, year in and year out, you've always got to stay disciplined and stay humble and stay

hungry in this business."

Even when you've already been fed. Especially, though, if the best meal -- winning a Super Bowl -- still is out

there to be had.

"It's different," Grant said of the belief that the Saints can reach the Super Bowl. "My first time in the playoffs

was last year, and went all the way to the NFC championship. And we've got that same football team back,

but better.

"So for us, why not talk Super Bowl? Everybody plays this game to get in the Super Bowl. We buried what we

did last year so everybody's ultimate goal is to play in Arizona. This football team, we have a legitimate

chance to play (in Super Bowl XLII) in Arizona. Like Coach always tells us, it's on us."

It's on every one of them to stay hungry, even after getting a taste.

'Continuity . . . helps a lot'

Monday, July 30, 2007

By Mike Triplett

Staff writer

JACKSON, MISS. -- Although he didn't arrive with the same kind of fanfare as fellow newcomers Drew Brees

and Reggie Bush, linebacker Scott Fujita was one of the Saints' biggest difference-makers last season.

A smart and sturdy playmaker, Fujita made more than 500 tackles in five seasons with Kansas City, Dallas

and the Saints. Not bad for a former University of California walk-on.

As he heads into his second season with New Orleans, Fujita talked about the team's lofty expectations, the

new faces in his position group and his not-so-Hollywood lifestyle:

You were on the Chiefs when they went 13-3 in 2003. What did you learn about coming back the next

year after a season like that?

Well, it was different because we had a lot of defensive coaching changes and a whole new system. But it's

tough. You can't take anything for granted. And the one thing that Coach Payton has been talking about is

starting all over again. I think, in a way, we all just expected ourselves to kind of end up in the Super Bowl

after that 13-3 season. And everyone came in, and we just expected everything to take over where it left off.

And that's not the case in this league. You've got 31 other teams that are thinking the same way in terms of

having an opportunity to win a championship. And you've just got to start from scratch each year.

Is that easier said than done, or do you really believe that everyone can say, 'We haven't accom-

plished anything, yet?'

Yeah, like I said, it just starts over every year. At the same time, the raised expectations that come with what

happened last year, those are good for us. I think everyone's ready to kind of shoulder those raised expecta-

tions, and overall, I think that's a good thing.

You look bigger this year. Did you add weight in the offseason?

No, I'm about the same. A good 250 (pounds) every year. . . . I usually come in a little tan, so maybe it makes

me look more defined.

What is your offseason program?

I just stay in Southern California at home and train on my own. I don't like to go out and spend money on

other people and count on them to get me ready to play. I just feel like I've been doing this long enough; I

know my body better than anybody else. So I'd rather just crawl into a dark cave and kind of train on my own.


You accepted an award at the ESPYs (along with Saints teammates Brees, Bush and Will Smith). How

did you enjoy the Hollywood experience?

It was fun. It was out in my neck of the woods, so it was convenient. But that whole Hollywood lifestyle, it's a

whole different scene.

That's not next for you, after football?

No. No way. I'll be out on the beach side. I'm not going into the city too much.

Last year around this time, you had so many new guys coming in and out at the linebacker position. How

nice is it to have all three starters back, plus some experienced veterans you signed in free agency?

To me, it changes everything in training camp. We don't have to spend so much time in meetings just going

over basic stuff over and over again. We don't have to go through an individual period with (linebackers

coach) Joe Vitt feeling like he has to break our heads in to find out what he's got. He's got guys that he

knows can play. And in terms of the system, we're a year into it now, and you just don't have to waste time on

all those extra things. Just having the continuity there helps a lot.

You and Scott Shanle and Mark Simoneau seemed to develop such a nice chemistry together. Has

that been affected at all by adding new guys such as Brian Simmons and Dhani Jones?

I don't think it affects the chemistry at all. Vitt, I've been in his (meeting) room a long time now (in Kansas City

and New Orleans), and he runs a great, tight group of linebackers, regardless of situations. I think the more

veteran guys you have, the better off you'll be. We were very fortunate with health last year, and that's not

always going to be the case. So in terms of chemistry, yeah, Scott, Mark and I are good friends, and we'll

continue to be. But I think the new guys will fit right in.

What's the best and the worst thing about training camp?

The best thing is the locker room. The worst thing is just leaving home, leaving my wife.

How do you fill the down time, if there really is such a thing?

You've got to get your feet up. I've got kind of a routine all through training camp. Right when practice is over,

I've got to get a quick workout in. Then I come back, shower, ice up, talk to you guys and then try to watch

some TV for a little while.

It's been 25 years since it happened, but is it still a big deal for Cal guys like you every time you see a

replay of "The Play?"

I think it is. It's still such a cherished part of Cal's history, and everywhere you walk around on Cal's campus,

they've got some reference to "The Play." In Memorial Stadium, there's one whole room that's devoted to the

play. And they've got a frame-by-frame thing of every single person that was involved and all the X's and O's

diagrammed. It's still a pretty big deal.

ARMED AND READY

Drew Brees' focus was winning last season, but he says he kept an eye on his surgically repaired

right shoulder. In this year's training camp, he's only concerned with improving.

Saturday, July 28, 2007

Times-Picayune

By Jimmy Smith

Staff writer

JACKSON, MISS. Admittedly a year ago, there were still lingering doubts as the red-shirted No. 9 sprinted up

the hill toward the upper practice fields at Millsaps College before the horn blew to convene the Saints' first

training-camp practice.

The days and weeks that followed eliminated any fears about the structural stability of Drew Brees' surgically

repaired right shoulder, and the weeks and months that followed New Orleans' initial summer here erased

any reservations about just what kind of quarterback this newcomer really is.

As the Brees-Sean Payton offensive era embarked on year two Friday, Payton could reflect on the events of

last summer when he got his first true glimpse of what Brees had to offer on many different levels.

"I think at this time a year ago," Payton said, "and where we were at, it was really our first week, if you will, of

seeing him throw with the receivers and in team situations because we didn't see that in the spring. Even

then, there was a lot of progress on his part to be made. Credit him. He wasn't 100 percent, yet. It wasn't until

probably the second or third (exhibition game), maybe end of preseason when he felt he had his timing and

velocity back.

"But he's someone, back to the initial evaluation, who's always found a way to win football games, regardless


of what level. He's very competitive. He's got a good presence about him in the pocket. He's very smart.

"I think he's a very good quarterback. And I think we're fortunate to have him. And that gets back to the time

we signed him a year ago. I think he's a great leader. So I think he has the ability to elevate the play of others

around him and look for the little things, just as we do as coaches, to be done right. I think he's continuing to

improve."

Welcome news for a young team many are considering one of the front-runners to represent the NFC in

Super Bowl XLII.

Disconcerting news for opposing defensive players, who must wonder if Brees can improve on a 2006 sea-

son during which he set eight team passing records, was selected All-Pro -- ahead of Super Bowl XLI MVP

Peyton Manning -- and directed the No. 1 passing offense in the NFL.

After an offseason that included travels to Iraq with the league's USO tour, a vacation in Costa Rica and a

great deal of time in the more temperate climes of San Diego, Brees picked up Friday where he left off at

season's end -- grinding toward the same glittery destination that a year ago was 60 minutes and a snowy

field away.

But this summer, while he admittedly was focused a year ago, Brees says there are no physical misgivings

about which to be concerned.

"Last year," Brees said after the morning workout, "I think the thoughts running through my head were gradu-

ally, each day I'd be able to throw the ball a little bit better, throw it a little bit farther. I had a pitch count at this

time.

"Like this afternoon's practice, last year I wouldn't be throwing, where this year I'll throw as many times as I

want. That feels a lot better. I can really focus now on some of the little things. I've set goals for myself this

camp, some of the things I want to work on, so now I can focus on those things as opposed to just being able

to throw again."

Brees said that while he was able to maintain concentration a year ago, "I wanted to just keep an eye on this

arm every second of the day.

"This year, it allows me to not have to worry about the arm, and focus on other things, just getting better

every day, taking my game to the next level, doing whatever I can to help this team win. It's nice to be in that

position."

And it's nice, for a change, to be in a position that the Saints arguably have never been in -- legitimate con-

tenders to play in the last game of the season. That makes it easy for Brees to buy into 2007's "Earn It" slo-

gan.

"Just because we finished where we did last year, it doesn't mean that anything is going to be given to us,"

Brees said. "I think we even have to go out and work harder. Once you taste that level of success, human

nature is to just relax.

"But in our case, we're trying to take things to the next level. We fell a game short of our ultimate goal last

year. Our ultimate goal was not to make it to the NFC championship. It was to win the Super Bowl.

"So that is our No. 1 priority, our No. 1 goal. So our attitude now should be 'expect more.' That's for our team.

That's for all of New Orleans. Expect more. We're where we are because we worked extremely hard to get

here. But there's still another level. Let's work extremely hard to get there."

Bush enjoys sweet times underneath the spotlight

Times-Picayune


John DeShazier

JACKSON, MISS. -- How sweet is it to be Reggie Bush these days?

Touch-him-and-get-a-sugar-rush sweet. Stand-in-his-shadow-and-develop-a-cavity sweet. Look-at-him-and-

gain-five-pounds sweet.

"I'm enjoying it, enjoying being in this position right now, kind of taking advantage of it while I've got it," Bush

said.

He's capitalizing on celebrity like few Saints players ever have, or will.

There was/is the link to, appearance in the music video of, and possible breakup with singer Ciara, a hottie

by almost any measure. And if truly there was a romance and severance, that'll only pave the way for Bush to

be able to escort a different hottie or five down future red carpets.

And there's his ever-expanding endorsement base, which was wide enough last summer that it helped him

become the most recognizable Saints player even before he ever laced up his tailor-made, gold-highlighted


cleats.

And there's the buildup accompanying the approach to his second season, after a rookie year that left Saints

fans wanting more, when Bush ran for 565 yards and six touchdowns, caught 88 passes for 742 yards and

two scores and returned a punt 65 yards for a game-winning score on the 100th touch of his career (54 rush-

es, 34 catches and 12th punt return).

And, even, there has been an audience with Becks, Posh and the Beckham kids, allowing Bush to press

palms and chitchat with one of the few athletes (soccer star David Beckham) who is more recognizable than

Bush.

How sweet is it to be Reggie Bush these days? Even Reggie Bush would want to be Reggie Bush if he was-

n't already.

"I'm just glad to have him off those commercial shoots and have him here in camp with us," quarterback Drew

Brees joked.

"I get a chance to do a lot of commercials, do some traveling, meet some new and exciting people, guys like

David Beckham," Bush said. "It was great, so I'm enjoying it right now.

"I never really had an expectation level for it. I just kind of take it as it comes. But at the same time, I have

had a chance to do a lot of new, exciting things, I've partnered up with a lot of exciting companies and corpo-

rate sponsors that I'm very excited about."

None of it would be possible, though, if Bush didn't have star appeal on the field. And that, he has an abun-

dance of.

The theory here won't change that the Saints' franchise never has had a player of Bush's caliber, never has

had a runner, receiver or anyone else who is capable of doing the things Bush is capable of doing.

The touchdown-waiting-to-happen tag, while cliché, sticks. But so, too, does the fact that Bush has the ability

to do something only a handful of players can, and of taking away your breath, any time he touches the foot-

ball.

"If there's one thing about Reggie, obviously, he's got a lot of things going on, he's got a lot of people pulling

at him," Brees said. "But he's always going to find a way to make sure he's ready to go. He's a competitor,

he's a very prideful guy, so I'm never worried about Reggie."

"He's in good shape, he has trained well," Coach Sean Payton said. "We're real pleased with how he tested.

He's running around and, I think, in real good shape."

He's in 10 times better shape than last year because this time, he knew what to expect. But it speaks well of

Bush's dedication and discipline that, even with all his outside interests, he creates the time to put in the

work. That can't be said of players who have weeks more free time.

"That stuff kind of takes a toll on you, all the meetings with the sponsors," Bush said.

"It's fun but after a certain amount of time you just want to get back to football. I kind of took a break from that

stuff, but it has its season."

Its season is the offseason, where meetings with people like Becks and Posh can take place.

"We just kind of shot the breeze," Bush said of his visit with Beckham. "Just hung out and just talked. Just

being around him and meeting him, and getting a chance to meet his family -- his kids and his wife -- it was

cool. To meet somebody from another sport, but somebody who is so popular."

Somebody whose personal and professional life might even be sweeter than that of Bush.

But not by much.

'It will always be home'

Times-Picayune


By Jeff Duncan

Staff writer

JACKSON, MISS. -- Entering his seventh season with the Saints, running back Deuce McAllister is the dean

of the team's offensive players. He is one of the most popular players on the team because of his Mississippi

roots and extensive community service.

McAllister met with reporters after the morning practice Friday to discuss a variety of topics, including the

upcoming season, his relationship with Reggie Bush, his business interests and his future with the team:

What are your impressions after the first day of practice?


It's back to work. I don't know if you necessarily look forward to it, but you have to do it. It pretty much tells

you that the season is right around the corner. We just want to go out and work on our conditioning and get

back into football shape.

How much does it help to have one season in Coach Payton's system under your belt?

Well, you know what to expect. One aspect you are going to have to fight is obviously the heat. That's one

thing that is going to help us down the line, and it also helps you focus on what you have to do. Now you

have to block out the mental mistakes and go out and execute.

Can players feel the enthusiasm of the fans during practice?

You can definitely feel it. People have been waiting for camp to start for a long time. We definitely are going

to need the fans behind us. We know they can't wait for the season to get started.

Compare your situation at camp now to a year ago when you were coming off the knee injury?

Probably the biggest thing is you know what you can do, as far as your ability and skill. You don't have to

worry about is the knee going to hold up, is the shoulder going to hold up? Now it's just basically working on

the little things, working on your technique and getting ready for the upcoming season.

Does playing in the same backfield as Reggie Bush help you stay fresher down the stretch of the sea-

son?

I don't have to shoulder the load just to get to the playoffs and qualify. When you have to carry a team to

make them qualify for the playoffs sometimes it feels like you are out of gas when you reach them. I think that

was the case in my previous five years before last year. When you have a guy like Reggie, he's got to be

accounted for every play. When we can work together and make the offense better, then down the stretch we

are going to be a dangerous team because both of us are going to be fresh.

How are you feeling physically after six years in the league?

I feel pretty good. I'm just trying to play the game and help the young guys as much as possible. You just

want to go out and have fun and just play. The Lord willing, I don't know how long I'll be able to play, but I feel

good.

The average career of an NFL running back lasts 3.5 years. Do you ever think about those kind of

things, your longevity in this game?

You think about it, but at the same time if you are going out there and being productive then you feel like you

have to play. If your body is telling you you can't do it and the production isn't there then it's time to hang it

up.

How have you and Reggie Bush developed such a good chemistry despite having different back-

grounds -- he's from L.A. and you're from the South?

I've got a little L.A. in me, too. I'm from the South but I've got a little Hollywood in me. You can adjust to it. I

think it works well. I just try to help him as much as possible. He's been in the spotlight his whole career.

There's a time to get away. You've got to take some Reggie Bush time sometime. As he gets older he'll learn

it. I think we have a great chemistry off the field. We can hang. We went to the first NBA Finals game togeth-

er. I think that relationship will continue to grow. It's built already.

But a lot of times with two high-profile athletes like you two it doesn't work. Why has it worked in

your case?

I had the spotlight before. He can have it. He's definitely earned it with all the things that he's done over his

career. It's not something that I have to have. It's not that big a deal.

You have a lot of business interests outside of football -- car dealerships, real estate, trucking compa-

ny, etc. How do you balance all that with training camp?

This is football season. Once the season hits, I don't get involved in it too much, unless it's a major decision.

During the offseason, I'm ripping and running, trying to stay on top of it. But once the season hits I back away

from all that stuff.

How did your business empire originate?

It really started with the one (auto) dealership, then everything else just spun off of it. That one dealership


really opened up a lot of opportunities. For a two-year stretch we were really just hitting on a lot of different

things. We still have a lot of things in development that are coming. I enjoy doing that, too.

There's been some speculation that you might be on the hot seat this season to produce because of

the value of your contract. Have you thought about that?

It doesn't matter if you can go out there and produce. That's what the game's about. You've got to produce

year to year. You really can't get caught up in all that. If you worry about that then you're going to be hesitant

on every play. If that's how somebody feels about you there's nothing you can do about it.

Still, you're from this area and I'm sure you enjoy playing for the Saints, so it would have to hurt a lit-

tle?

That's business. You can't let your personal feelings get involved with business. They've got a job to do. If my

play doesn't warrant me staying here then that's what they're going to do. They are going to make a business

decision.

But you're from this area and it's home, so that wouldn't bother you?

It will always be home. If I have to play for another team besides the Saints then I'll still pull for them because

I grew up watching the Saints. I know their history and everything. I'm fortunate to be able to play for them.

But if they think, 'McAllister didn't play well for us this year. What is his salary going to be? Do we want to

keep him? Do we think his production has fallen off?' Those are the things they have to consider in a busi-

ness decision. I understand that now being in business myself. Sometimes you are going to have to fire a

worker, somebody you have a relationship with. It might not be something you want to do but you have to do

it for the good of the company.

So basically, if you're healthy you don't anticipate your production falling off this year?

I don't plan on it falling off. I expect to be a key part of this team's offense this year.

Q&A: Mickey Loomis, Saints GM

By Rick Cleveland

[email protected]

August 5, 2007

New Orleans Saints executive vice-president and general manager Mickey Loomis is responsible for the

club's football operations. Following the 2006 season, he was named NFL Executive of the Year by several

publications. He was a key figure in hiring Sean Payton, signing Drew Brees and in directing one of the most

productive drafts in club history.

Q: This time last year could you in your wildest dreams have imagined what occurred during the 2006

season?

A: Yeah, I think I could. I've told people this before. That you don't think about it as a season as a whole.

You're thinking about the next game. If you're a competitor, you can envision yourself winning the next game.

Sometimes you may think that we've got to play at our best and hope they don't play at their best, but you

can envision yourself winning it. At the end of it, yeah, there's a surprise, more outside than inside, at the final

record. But if you think about it the way you should think about it, one game at a time or in segments, it's not

that big of surprise.

Q: Was there ever a time when you had time after it was done to look back and say, "Wow! Look what

we did."

A: I think the "Wow" factor as you put it was the enjoyment of our fans and in our region. That's the "Wow" to

me that so many people got so much out of it. It was the right team at the right time in the right region obvi-

ously because of the circumstances people were in because of Hurricane Katrina.

Q: Are you pleased with the situation here at Millsaps this year?

A: Yes, absolutely. We were pleased last year. The facilities are really good for an NFL camp. We tweaked a

few things, but the people here at Millsaps, and with the state and the city have welcomed us and been very

accommodating. We're comfortable here.

Q: Could you describe for our readers your working relationship with Sean Payton?

A: Sean and I see things similarly in terms of philosophy. Obviously, that's one of the reasons he was hired.

Being a head coach in the NFL is a tough, tough job. I'm here to support him and provide him with whatever

he needs to be successful. We have a great relationship. There's never been an issue we haven't been able


to talk about and resolve.

Q: Looking back at the 2006 draft, who should we credit for picks like Marques Colston and Jahri

Evans.

A: There's a lot of people we can credit: our area scouts, our college scouting director, our player personnel

director, and let's not forget the coaches who did an awesome job of getting those guys ready quickly. It's a

group effort, and most of all, how about the players themselves? They deserve the most credit.

Q: Aren't you in there somewhere?

A: I'm the smallest piece of that.

Q: When we look back at this 2007 draft, will we see more gems like those we just talked about.

A: We sure hope so, but the circumstances are a little different. There's fewer jobs open this year than last

year. We've got 21 of 22 starters back from a really good team. It doesn't mean it can't be done, but it's going

to be harder for a young player to break into the lineup. But we'll get contributions. We like what we've seen.

There's talent there.

Q: What was the thinking in trading up to get running back Antonio Pittman when you seem so

stocked at that position?

A: When you're drafting and you have someone who's way out there ahead of anyone else, regardless of

position, it's prudent to get those guys. We drafted Deuce McAllister when we had Ricky Williams. We drafted

Will Smith when we had Darren Howard and Charles Grant. We drafted Reggie Bush when we had Deuce. In

each of those occasions, it's worked out well.

Q: What's a reasonable expectation for this team?

A: We don't talk about expectations; we talk about goals. We talk about winning our division, making the play-

offs, and winning the Super Bowl. We prefer to talk about the next day, the next game, the task at hand. It's

an old sports adage you hear a lot, but you hear it because it is true.

Saints: Determination conquers odds

• Meandering trail leads to Saints' secondary

By David Brandt

Clarion Ledger

August 3, 3007

Saying safety Kevin Kaesviharn took the long way to a solid NFL career isn't quite doing his story justice.

But after signing a four-year, $10 million deal with the New Orleans Saints in the off-season, it's an odyssey

that he's more than happy to share.

"I think it just makes you appreciate things a little more," the 30-year-old Kaesviharn said. "You understand a

little better that it really is a privilege to play in the NFL."

Kaesviharn played his college football at NCAA Division II Augustana (S.D.), where he was a three-year

starter and accomplished star. But like most small school athletes, his career appeared to be over in 1997

with the last snap of his senior year.

The next year, he took a job as a graduate assistant, working with Augustana's defensive backs. But he

couldn't quite come to terms with the end of his playing career without giving the pros one good shot.

So in 1999, he tried his luck in the Arena Football League, latching on with the Iowa Barnstormers. His nose

for the football on defense was apparent with 23 interceptions in two seasons.

After that, it was off to the short-lived XFL, where he played for the San Francisco Demons in 2001. Then

came his big break later that year when he signed his first NFL contract with the Green Bay Packers, four

years after he left college.

But it couldn't be that easy. He was cut two days later.

"There's nothing that can replace hard work," Kaesviharn said. "I knew that eventually if I put in the work,

good things would happen."

And finally, they did. Midway through the 2001 season, Kaesviharn was working as a substitute teacher

before he was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals and slowly worked his way into a starting role.


Since then, he's continued to improve and his six interceptions in 2006 were the most for a Bengals safety

since 1989.

For his efforts, Kaesviharn got his $10 million contract that included a reported $3.25 million signing bonus.

But more importantly, he's a vital part of a team that has a fighting chance at making it to the Super Bowl.

In Cincinnati, Kaesviharn played in just one playoff game in six seasons.

And in a career where he had to scratch and claw his way onto an NFL roster, Kaesviharn wouldn't expect a

lengthy trip in the playoffs to come easily.

"Every day, it's about getting better and learning a little more," Kaesivharn said. "There's times that I still feel

a little lost since I'm on a new team, but those moments are becoming less and less."

Saints coach Sean Payton has already said that Kaesviharn and former Indianapolis Colts cornerback Jason

David - who was also signed in the off-season - would both get serious looks for a starting spot.

"I think those two, specifically, will get a lot of chances to run with the No. 1 guys," Payton said. "... I like the

talent that we've added in the secondary with those two."

David said he's also had occasional frustration learning the defense, but knowing that Kaesviharn and veter-

ans like Fred Thomas and Mike McKenzie are there helps.

"I'm just bouncing off everybody right now," David said. "Trying to ask questions to make our group work as

well together as possible."

Kaesviharn said he's impressed with the work ethic in camp by all the players, saying there's a true feel that

something good can happen this year.

"I think at any camp in the preseason, there's a lot of optimism and high expectations," Kaesviharn said. "But

I also think that there's a few elite teams that really have a different mindset because they know those high

expectations are realistic. We're certainly one of them."

Saints' duo getting it right on the offensive line

Stinchcomb, Evans working well together

Wednesday, August 15, 2007

By Benjamin Hochman

Staff writer

JACKSON, MISS. -- One training camp ago, Saints center Jeff Faine pulled aside Montrae Holland, the

injured incumbent at right guard.

"Man, you need to get back healthy," Faine told him in desperation. "We need you in there. We can't have

this rookie starting."

A year later, when talking about "this rookie," Faine just smiled: "He made me end up biting my tongue."

Jahri Evans started for the Saints, just one year removed from Division II college football. And not only did

this rookie start, but he played well.

Playing to his right in 2006 was, if you will, another rookie. The 2006 season was actually Jon Stinchcomb's

fourth in the league, but injuries and slow development kept Stinchcomb off the field for the most part until

last season, when he started every game at right tackle.

At this season's training camp, the two sophomore starters make up the right side of the offensive line. The

team has faith in the duo, once mired in skepticism.

"There are certain things from a technique standpoint that they're working on to improve," Saints Coach Sean

Payton said. "But that said, both of those guys are young players we have a lot of confidence in."

Evans' ascension a season ago was another tale in the Saints' storybook season. He was drafted in the

fourth round out of Bloomsburg, in Pennsylvania.

"To be real honest," Stinchcomb said, "I had never heard of Bloomsburg."

But midway in training camp, Evans slowly began to make people forget about Holland.

"(Evans') technique wasn't always on point, but his raw ability was so very abundantly apparent to anyone

who was watching," Stinchcomb said. "You'd have defensive linemen tell you, 'He does some stuff that you

don't see out of rookies, period, much less some veterans.' "


The Saints advanced to the NFC championship game, and in the regular season allowed only 23 sacks,

though five came in the final game when the starters were rested. Even so, 23 was the fourth-fewest allowed

in the league.

Entering this season, coaches are pleased with Evans' patience and confidence. Doug Marrone, the offensive

line coach, pointed out Evans' ability to pick up defensive movement faster than he did a year ago. Evans

points to Stinchcomb for that.

"Stinch is a smart player," Evans said. "And me coming in as a young player from a small school, a lot of the

movements and defensive stunts they were bringing, playing next to Stinch, he was pointing me in the right

direction, and so was Faine. Between those two guys, you can't do wrong. The only thing I had to do was

come off the ball fast and hard."

"Jahri, he turned into a hell of a player," Faine said.

Evans said he sometimes has to pinch himself. Upon being drafted, he figured by his second season he

would, hopefully, be competing for a starting spot. Instead, he's an incumbent.

But Evans is the first to admit he is still learning. He said his technique could use some polishing. Same for

his hand speed. He occasionally winds up in a bad position.

"He's still developing," Faine said. "But he's such a good athlete that he makes up for a lot of technical flaws

with his athleticism. And his technique is getting better, which is scary because when he puts it all together,

he's going to be an extremely special player for years to come."

Stinchcomb is a Georgia product, drafted in the second round by the Saints, after his infamous Bulldogs

teammate Johnathan Sullivan. The Saints were high on Stinchcomb entering draft day, but each season

sparked a "just wait until next season . . ." In 2003, he played in six games. In 2004, just four. And in 2005, he

missed the season with a ruptured patella tendon.

"He's had a tough road to hoe with the injury," Payton said. "He worked real hard at his game. I know com-

pared to this time last year, he's feeling a lot more confident on his knee.

"He can be a real physical player. And he's one of the bright guys in that meeting room, with a pretty good

grasp of not only the run game, but with protections and what we're trying to do overall."

After Tuesday's sweltering afternoon practice, Stinchcomb was speaking to a reporter about the offensive

line's camaraderie, when Evans giddily sneaked up to his side. Stinchcomb didn't break stride, kept the same

tone of voice, but said, "Everybody fits in really well -- except for one guy. Most of us get along, but there's

one guy who really doesn't fit in."

Said a laughing Evans, "Wait to you hear what I say about you."

Moving forward

Payton not concerned about sophomore jinx

By Sheldon Mickles

The Advocate

Monday, September 3, 2007

Just minutes into a pre-training camp news conference in late July, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton

was asked if he believed in the so-called sophomore jinx.

“I liked my sophomore year in college,” he said with a grin.

Why not? Back in 1984, Payton won the quarterback job at Eastern Illinois by beating out the incumbent

starter, then went on to a solid season and a record-setting career at the Division I-AA school.

To him, it’s no different now.

Embarking on his second season as an NFL head coach, it’s easy to see that Payton is more concerned with

the present than the past — a trait which obviously served him well during his productive collegiate career.

So when Payton and the Saints open the regular season Thursday night against the Super Bowl champion

Indianapolis Colts in the RCA Dome in front of a national TV audience, the last thing he’ll be worrying about is

a second-year jinx.

“I don’t believe in it for a player, I don’t believe in it for a team,” Payton said last week. “I think you improve

and play better.

The best thing about our game is at the end of the season there’s something tangible to measure your suc-

cess on: wins and losses.

“To me, it’s much like the Superdome jinx,” he said, trying to squash the longstanding theory that the Saints

haven’t had much success because their home stadium is built on a cemetery. “All those things are just dis-

tractions that, if you give them a lot of thought, they become problematic. So that’s something I don’t give a

lot of time to.”

At the same time, no one has to remind Payton of the team’s recent history. The last time the Saints went 10-

6, as they did last season in winning the NFC South title and advancing to the NFC Championship game,

they followed it with a losing record.


The year was 2000 and the Saints won the NFC West title, only to go 7-9 the next season under coach of the

year Jim Haslett. Like Payton, Haslett was an easy pick as the coach of the year after taking a team that won

three games the previous season to the playoffs and a postseason victory.

But that’s where the similarities end as far as Payton is concerned.

“What has happened in previous years isn’t necessarily a predictor of what will happen this season,” he said.

“I feel comfortable this team understands it’s a different season. The goal we set out for last year we fell short

of, in regards to playing for a championship.

“Those are lofty expectations,” Payton said. “Yet, those are the right types of goals that you set. I think our

players understand that and will be able to handle that.”

The 2007 Saints are the fashionable pick to do what they didn’t do in January — win the NFC title and reach

the Super Bowl for the first time in the 41-year history of the organization.

In order to do that, Payton knows he must remain as focused on this team as he was a year ago when the

Saints set out on a journey that would take them to the doorstep of Super Bowl XLI before a 39-14 loss to the

Chicago Bears in the NFC title game.

Which is why he won’t change in any way.

“There’s some things that you try to hold on to and that you think are very important,” Payton said. “Then

there’s some other things where you might change or fluctuate. But for the most part, I’m still the same. Not a

lot has changed.”

All-Pro quarterback Drew Brees said he believes that.

“He knows when it’s time to work and he knows when it’s time to have a good time,” said Brees, who led the

NFL with 4,418 passing yards a year ago. “We try to have as much fun as we can out here, but it’s only fun if

you’re playing well and you look sharp and you’re winning.”

While his team has changed a little with 17 new faces on the 53-man roster, that’s a given considering the

NFL landscape.

What hasn’t changed is the core of an explosive offense that led the league in total yards — Brees, running

backs Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush, wide receivers Marques Colston and Devery Henderson, and a

stout offensive line.

Defensively, the Saints spent most of the offseason re-signing several of their own players and scouring the

free agency list for players that would add quality and depth to the unit.

As a result, expectations are as high as ever. While some NFL coaches shy away from such predictions,

Payton embraces them.

“I think it’s a sign that you’ve improved,” he said. “I think our players are smart enough to understand that

there’s nothing promised this season. This is a different team, it’s a new team. The schedule is going to be

difficult, starting with Indianapolis on Thursday night.

“Those are the challenges in front of us,” Payton said. “What we’re tying to build is a team that each year

contends, and build a team that down the road people look back on and say, ‘They had a good run. They had

a good stretch of teams that won a lot of games.’ That’s what we’re trying to accomplish.”

REGGIE BUSH IS ON THE BALL

Saints running back Reggie Bush welcomes glitz and glamour, but always keeps his focus

By Mike Triplett

Times-Picayune

Tuesday, September 4, 2007

Reggie Bush is everywhere. From commercials to music videos to talk shows to magazine covers. And of

course, the football field, where the second-year Saints tailback has generated hype since his days playing

Pop Warner football.

He is one of the NFL's marquee attractions, and is easily the most high-profile athlete to land in New Orleans

-- and he is completely comfortable with all of it.

"I welcome it with open arms," Bush said of the mega-star treatment that follows him everywhere he goes,

from Southern California to Jackson, Miss. "I think it's just part of the territory. It's part of who I am, part of the

type of player I am. It's something I embraced a long time ago, and I try to use it to my advantage.

"I also keep it all in perspective and remember what's most important."

Spend just a little time around Bush, and you notice a unique blend of personality traits.

He isn't cocky, but he's extremely confident -- and he doesn't demand the spotlight, but he welcomes it.

"I think he has that certain 'it,' and I don't know what that 'it' is," said Bush's marketing agent, Mike Ornstein,

who is with Bush more than anyone, especially during the off-season. "I wish I did know, because then I'd be

able to capture it with my other players. But it's a certain special quality, and that's how he handles everything

in life.

"He's an easygoing guy; he has an easy temperament. He doesn't have emotional swings like I do, and he's

so much more comfortable this year."


Bush, who won a Heisman Trophy and at least a share of two national championships at Southern California,

always talks about putting team goals ahead of personal desires. But at the same time, he wants the ball in

his hands as often as possible, because he believes he can do great things with it.

Bush said his goal is for the Saints to become the kind of team that fans throughout the NFL "hate" because

they dread seeing them on the schedule, and he wants to become the kind of player that opposing defenses

dread seeing on the field.

"I want to be that type of player that's feared throughout the league and that teams know they have to game-

plan around," Bush said. "I think any competitor, any great player, wants the ball in his hands, wants to score

touchdowns. I think that's natural. I don't think that's selfishness, because I'm the most unselfish person that I

know. It's all about my team.

"But at the same time, I want to be in there making plays for my team."

Bush's teammates and coaches love that attitude.

From Coach Sean Payton to quarterback Drew Brees to running back Deuce McAllister to linebacker Scott

Fujita, everyone commended Bush for his unselfishness and his willingness to step up.

"I think there's a great amount of respect and appreciation for his ability, and for the way he works and

approaches it," Payton said. "He's a pretty good fit in that locker room."

Said McAllister: "He has an eagerness to learn, an eagerness to do his best, and he wants to be great -- but

it's all within the chemistry of the team."

Brees has compared Bush to reigning league MVP LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers and to

Superman.

"What I love is that when we get down near that end zone, Reggie smells it," Brees said. "It's like he kicks it

into another gear."

Learning patience

Bush was just starting to scratch the surface of his potential at the end of last season.

After a relatively slow start, he scored nine touchdowns during the final seven games of the season, including

an 88-yard burst against the vaunted Chicago Bears in the NFC championship game.

He scored four touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, and he ran for a season-high 126

yards against the New York Giants in Week 16.

"The second half of the season last year, how that went for me, I would want that to be throughout the year,"

Bush said. "Obviously, you know, I don't want to wait six games to score a touchdown. Right off the bat, I

want to make plays for my team and help us win games.

"Right off the bat (Thursday night), we start with Indianapolis. That's going to be a tough game for us, and

you need your playmakers to make plays for you in those type of games."

Bush didn't completely live up to the hype in the first two months of last season, partly because of an ankle

injury he suffered in Week 1 at Cleveland, and partly because he was a rookie with a few things to learn.

Bush said he had to learn patience, above all else -- to let holes develop in front of him rather than bouncing

outside to try and scamper for a touchdown on every play.

"I'm actually focusing on slowing the game down," said Bush, who finished the regular season with 565 rush-

ing yards, 742 receiving yards, 216 punt return yards and a total of nine touchdowns. "Slowing the game

down, slowing down your steps and footwork, then once you get to the hole, explode through it."

Payton, meanwhile, has had an extra year to tinker with his playbook and formations, figuring out the best

way to use Bush.

Last season, Payton was innovative with the way he used Bush and McAllister, often lining them up on the

field at the same time with healthy doses of play action and misdirection.

This season, Payton said he wants to make sure he's not predictable, which could mean more inside rushes

for Bush.


"I think we saw a lot more of that in the latter half of the season in games against New York and Pittsburgh

where we felt like he did a good job of running north and south," Payton said. "I think it's important that we

have that ability, not only with him inside, but with Deuce outside."

'A different guy'

Bush went home to Southern California in the off-season to relax and decompress a little bit, but he hardly

took it easy.

Bush sought out a personal trainer with a workout method called "Fre Flo Do," which is specifically geared to

help with his flexibility and endurance, among other things. He said this season he was a lot more prepared

for the long off-season grind -- physically and mentally -- and he feels a lot more "fresh."

Ornstein has noticed it, too. He said Bush's head was swimming last summer, not knowing what to expect

from any aspect of his life -- from moving to New Orleans to joining a new team to playing in the NFL to any

off-the-field woes.

"He's 100 percent a different guy than he was a year ago today. In everything," Ornstein said. "He has a con-

fidence about him. He knows what's coming up tomorrow. There's no surprises. . . . I just find a serenity in

him that I really haven't seen since I've been with him."

Bush looked more comfortable, confident and decisive throughout training camp and his brief preseason

game appearances. If possible, he looked a little faster, too.

All of this adds up to some other-worldly expectations for Bush.

If you didn't know any better, you might believe Bush was feeling some pressure to live up to them. But the

truth is, he's just as fired up as everyone else.

"I prepared so hard this off-season to have a breakout year, if you want to call it that," Bush said. "I'm excited

to see what I'm going to do this year. I'm excited for us as a team. I'm excited about what we're going to do. I

definitely think that we can make a big push for the Super Bowl."

Brees says the Saints are hungry as ever

By Ryan Fagan, Sporting News

Posted September 5, 2007

Be honest. You rooted for the Saints last year. It didn't really matter where you were from. And not just

because of the whole emotional impact the team had on a devastated city. They were just plain fun to watch,

what with a new coach (Sean Payton), a budding superstar (Reggie Bush), an out-of-nowhere game-changer

(Marques Colston) and the guy who was the trigger for the whole offensive juggernaut, quarterback Drew

Brees. I had the chance to catch up with Brees a few days ago to chat about the upcoming season.

SN: This is the second year in New Orleans for a bunch of you guys -- you, Bush, Colston and coach Payton,

to name a few. What's in store for this season after all the success you had in '06?

Brees: Any time you're able to gain experience like we were able to gain together last year, you just feel that

much more comfortable with the offense and what's being called, and I think you even get to the point that

you can kind of anticipate what's going to come out of coach Payton's mouth next, as far as what he's think-

ing. He's done such a phenomenal job of spreading the ball around to all our weapons and really putting guys

in a position to succeed. It's been as much fun as I've ever had playing football, working coach Payton and

the guys on the offense. It looks like we're having fun, I'm sure.

SN: Coach Payton seems to be the perfect fit for your team.

Brees: Coach Payton deserves all the credit in the world for the success of our team last season because he

really came in and changed the culture, changed the attitude. He's got such a way about him that he continu-

ally finds ways to motivate guys, continually finds ways to challenge, and we all are made better about that.

After that Monday night game, everybody's telling us how good we are, sitting there at 3-0, and his saying

became "Don't eat the cheese." It's kind of a joke now, and we still throw that around, but basically it's saying,

don't let people shove all this stuff down your throat as far as how good you are and this and that. You

worked extremely hard to get here and it's going to take a lot of hard work to maintain this level of success,

so "Don't eat the cheese." That was the funny saying he'd always say.

Coach Payton just has a knack for being able to make a comment to you that's humorous, pretty funny like

he's cracking a joke, but at the same time he's motivating you and challenging you. I've seen him do that with

a lot of guys. His timing is impeccable. He always finds the exact time to do it, maybe when a guy's coming

off a good game or he's sitting back on his laurels a little bit. Coach Payton finds a way to knock you back

down to size or back down to earth and basically say, there's still a lot of work to be done.

SN: It seems like every time you turn around, you have another weapon who can make plays when they get

the ball in their hands.


Brees: It's pretty awesome, pretty exciting to me as the quarterback to have a lot of guys to spread the ball

around to. We try to throw everything we can at a defense and see how they can defend it, and through the

course of the game, we just get a feel for what they're doing, but they can't take away everybody. If they're

bound and determined to take away Reggie Bush, then Deuce McAlister and the receivers are going to have

a big night. If they're going to take away Marques Colston, don't forget about Reggie Bush.

It's kinda like pick your poison. We're gonna hit you one way or the other, it's just a matter of who's gonna do

it.

SN: What's Reggie Bush capable of?

Brees: The sky's the limit for him. He's such a great athlete, and he works extremely hard and practices

extremely hard. He's a very prideful guy. He plays with a lot of heart and takes a lot of pride in the way that

he plays.

That's special when you find a guy who's that talented and works like that.

Things come so natural to him, but he still works so hard because I think he knows how good he can be.

Obviously the expectations are so high for a guy like that, and they have been since we drafted him out of

college. He's always had a lot of pressure on him, but he's handled it with a lot of class, and I know he'll con-

tinue to do that.

SN: What was it like to watch the Super Bowl last year, to see the Colts play the Bears instead of you guys?

Brees: Obviously, there was disappointment that we weren't there, feeling like we'd gotten so close, and you

just never know how many opportunities like that you're going to get through your career. So it was disap-

pointing, but I think that it also just provided us motivation for this year, just knowing how close we came.

Once you taste it, you want to go back so bad.

It's something that's obviously No. 1 on our list of goals as a team, to go and win the Super Bowl.

SN: How is New Orleans these days, two years after Katrina?

Brees: I think the difference is pretty remarkable. It's still a long way away and New Orleans still needs a lot

of help and support. But the French Quarter looks as good as it's ever looked. I've heard that from a lot of

people who have lived here their whole life. And the downtown is coming back. I think the restaurants, which

have always been a huge part of New Orleans, the culinary aspect is back and the restaurants are thriving.

You see construction going on everywhere, so you know people are rebuilding and doing their best to get

their homes back and getting their lives back. It's really great to see the passion and the effort that's going

‘Without a doubt, it’s in the back of our mind all the time’

Perhaps more than any of his Saints teammates, offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb knows just how fleeting an

NFL career can be. In training camp 2005, when it appeared Stinchcomb was on his way to winning a starting

job, he ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee when he twisted it in a goal-line drill, untouched by a

teammate.

He missed the season, rehabbed the knee following surgery, won a starting job in the summer of 2006, and

this year was rewarded with a two-year contract extension that with bonuses and salary could be worth nearly

$7 million.

He spoke this week about the security, the future and the frightening injury to Buffalo's Kevin Everett.

Since you've gotten all this new-found wealth, have you done anything extravagant with any of the money?

We took all our family to the beach, one week with my side, one week with my wife's side. Which was about

50 people. That's about as extravagant as it gets for us.

Which beach?

Fort Walton (Fla.), near Destin. We had a blast.

Do you have a greater sense of security now because of the new contract, knowing as you do the fragility of

the NFL experience?

It's nice. It's been really nice to feel that level of appreciation. The thing is, it doesn't really affect how I

approach work every day. It doesn't matter whether it would be league minimum or what the price is. For me,

I love playing football. So it's a bonus that with this contract came with some financial stability for my family

for many years to come.

With that love of the game, you know more than anyone how tenuous the existence is. One misstep, and it's

over.


Without a doubt. I think it's in the back of our mind all the time. Look at the Everett situation. You watch that

play and think, 'The guy had good technique.' It wasn't like his head was down. There's so many different

things that can go wrong. It's almost like hazard pay, what we get. And we know that this is not a safe busi-

ness, the line of work that we're in, so you appreciate it while you do it.

What would you do if you weren't playing football?

I'd be back at school, either physical therapy or med school.

Down the road, don't you still plan to pursue one of those fields?

I am. The longer I play, the more it looks like it'll be physical therapy. I don't know about going back to school

for nine more years. A couple more years I can do. But when you start thinking about residency and that

whole deal, med school looks a little more daunting.

Have you thought about doing medical school in the offseason, or has pro football become a year-round job?

When I came out I was considering how I wanted to approach it. But I want to commit myself 100 percent to

whatever I'm doing. I owe that to my teammates, to my future patients if that were the case. I have to be 100

percent committed to the field I'm in.
