Kink in the Enemy Armor

I haven't been worried about the Saints but I was a little jealous when they went out and signed Jarious Byrd. Found this article from the ESPN beat writer for the Saints. Their weakness happens to collide with our strength. This season will be interesting. Their starting guards and Brees all have small injuries too. When you are in your 30's injuries can become an issue in the NFL.

"5. Beware of the "Theory of 150": In 2007, I came up with the "Theory of 150." I was looking at an aging offensive line of the Chicago Bears, who were coming off a Super Bowl loss to Indianapolis. The starting offensive line had a combined age of 159, 31.4 per player. Four starters were in their 30s. Once a line gets that old, major repairs and a major drop-off are looming. I used the same theory for the Washington Redskins, Cowboys and Giants over the next few years.

A theory alert is developing for the Saints. Evans, Zach Strief and Grubbs are currently 30. At center, 35-year-old Jonathan Goodwin is competing against Tim Lelito. Armstead is 23. If Goodwin wins at center, the combined age of the line will be 152. This isn't to say the Saints won't be fine this year, but they are starting to get to the point where they must look toward the future. Payton places more value at guard than at tackle because the 6-foot Brees needs a clean pocket. If the pocket starts to collapse because of age, Brees could struggle."

If our sophomore defensive tackles take the leap we think they can we can disrupt Brees in that clean pocket he loves.

Yeah you get pressure on Bree's he's another QB he's only lethal when you give him a clean pocket.

Actually John Clayton wrote that. I should have known.

I respect him.

The theory is probably to intelligent for the Saints beat writer

Considering that he managed to even fail at a correction, that really does say a lot about that fella, huh?  Amazing he still has the self-esteem to "post" here.

I don't expect their glory years to last much past the next couple seasons.  Too many key people are old and it's going to be damn sweet to watch them descend back into entropic decline.

I was pointing out what he wrote, not trying to post a correction, wow, just wow!

Big A, nobody here is going to believe that, lol.

 

Stick to posting pictures of kale chips in smack central.

I've been saying for a while, Brees is getting older, I thought last year was the Saints last hurrah to make a real run at the super bowl.  Brees is getting to the drop off age of QBs, and that Defense lost a ton of pieces and there's a book on Ryans defense now in the NFL south.  Saints will be decent but not amazing like the pundits are predicting.  If our O-line holds up, I think we can be the class of the south yet again.
