    I heard that too.

    I thought they would have done a better job self scouting while on the bye.

    I'm surprise Strieff is rated so high. Grubbs is puzzling because he's a former All-Pro. I too am not sure what happened to DLP. When that FA we signed from the Bears (can't remember his name) quit, he performed well. Not sure why he went down so quickly.

    Yeah, it obviously didn't stop us from scoring points, but Sproles was limited because they were all over him. But, the attention they paid to him left others open to make plays.

    I was shocked to know his stat line was 4 catches for 0 yards.

    Reminds me of 2011 when we went to Atlanta and they did the same thing to him. Just basically keyed on him and took him out of the equation. We still won.

    I had to go back and look at that box score, 6 touches, 3 yards.



    Henderson radio broadcast with Saints highlights. Gotta love it.

    At the 2:53 mark , watch as we put Sproles out into the flat, clearing the way for Graham to have single coverage, he makes the catch and then proceeds to score a TD.

    Our run blocking sucks. Pierre gets yards by often moving the pile. Ingram couldn't even get to the pile. At least Payton has come to grips with that. Pierre and Sproles with the occasional robinson. I miss Carl nicks.

    The Indians from the burial ground in the North Endzone cursed him with a really bad infection for leaving the Saints for a conference rival.

    Word on the street is Ingram is no longer on the injury report and could well be activated for Sunday's game.

    So here we go again.
