It took Reggie till about mid-season to realize that he couldn't dart to the corner, make a move and motor up the sideline. Worked like a champ in the PAC 10. Probably wouldn't have worked in the SEC. Definitely won't work in the NFL. Now he understands. Once decoy, now lethal weapon.
With all due respect to Philly, ya'll were better off with Garcia. I've been watching Stallworth since he was at UT. There are 2 constants of the universe, the speed of light, and Stallworth is either hurt or about to get hurt.
In addition to shoring up the receivers and beginning the year with all the stars healthy, (unlike last year) the Saints defense is the best since the "Dome Patrol." Pick-ups from the Bengals and your Eagles have strengthened the linebacking corp. Last year's defensive admittedly weak backfield is now stout with additions of a Colts starting corner, a Bengals starting safety, 2 high draft picks at corner and stud safety Roman Harper back from injury at 100%.
The interior if the D line is now so deep we could rotate players like LSU's Chinese Bandits of years ago. The only team to improve as much as the Saints is the Pats, who may have done better.
Peyton better cinch up his jock Sept 6. The Saints are coming.
