NFL network's Albert Breer:

Will say, leaving the Saints facility -- That team looks impressive ... Oh, and Mark Ingram's gonna be a star. Another thing that was cool at Saints practice -- drewbrees and QBs worked on-field late, stayed after to talk to & sign for some kids.

I'm not convinced that Kreutz, going into his 13th NFL season, is necessarily an upgrade over goodwin. i definitely think we've held the stats quo, though.

and i am drafting ingram for my fantasy squad FA SHO

Good gawd. And Sed ain't no little man, but he sure looks like it next to Rogers. Geez.

I was just imagining what it would be like if 'I' had to block that big bastid. There's wouldn't be much difference going against me then if he was going against his shadow. :lol:

Saints re-sign DE Charlston for added depth at DE.

Saints re-sign defensive end Jeff Charleston - New Orleans New Orleans Saints | Examiner.com

Definitely not a huge signing, but the Saints are steadily plugging holes and building a solid team.

High praise for saints by CBS sports guy in New York times

the Saints have emerged as one of the most well-operated clubs in pro football – right up there with the the Steelers, Colts, Patriots, Eagles and Packers The Eagles certainly won this year’s N.F.C. off-season championship, but the Saints, who had fewer holes to fill, quietly ran away with second place. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, a sought-after head coaching candidate, was retained. Top offensive free agent Lance Moore and top defensive free agent Roman Harper re-signed in long-term deals. Before the lockout, the Saints snatched former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Shaun Rogers for one year at $4 million. During the lockout, they spent their own first-round draft choice (No. 24 over all) on Cal defensive end Cameron Jordan. And, shortly after the lockout, they added star nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin (one year, terms undisclosed). Suddenly, their very average defensive line might be the best in the N.F.C.
...
the Saints look as golden as the helmets they wear.
...
It will be interesting to see what Gregg Williams does with so much talent along the defensive line.
...
if ex-Brown/Lion Shaun Rogers stays healthy and motivated, Williams will have one of the pre-eminent interior pass-rushers in all the land. At his best, Rogers is arguably the best. Even if Rogers tanks, there’s still Aubrayo Franklin eating up blocks, which spells one-on-one matchups for underwhelming but respectable former first-round pick Sedrick Ellis. Franklin plays with tremendous leverage and is nearly peerless when it comes to moving laterally while stalemating two offensive linemen.
...
Strong safety Roman Harper is the secret ingredient in many of New Orleans’s blitz packages. His versatility in the box allows him to align all over the field, and his explosive physicality after the snap disrupts the timing of pass plays. Disrupted timing leads to turnovers, which is what this defense is built on(it forced 39 in ’09 but just 25 in’10).
...
As soon as Jenkins, an’09 first-round pick from Ohio State, learns to play more in control, he’ll be the premier safety of the N.F.C.
...
The issues that kept this team from playing deep into January last season – lack of run game offensively, absence of manufactured big plays defensively – have been corrected.
...
Bottom Line: 1st N.F.C. South
