  In February of 2010, the Saints were on top of the world as Super Bowl Champions. However, like every reigning Super Bowl Champion before them since the 2003 New England Patriots, the Saints failed to win a playoff game, losing in embarrassing fashion to the Seattle Seahawks, a team…

  By Eric Karkovack  Well, it wasn’t exactly the shootout we all expected.  But the Saints’ 14-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the season opener proved a few points: The Saints don’t need to score 30 points to win a game. They can win a defensive battle against a strong…

  Defensive Tackle It’s a bad sign when your team leader in sacks is a safety. Granted, Roman Harper’s 7.5 sacks was one of the highest totals of sacks for a defensive back ever, but the Saints did managed just 33 sacks. Their defensive tackles didn’t get much pressure at…

  24. DE Cameron Jordan A Finally! Cameron Jordan was a top 10 prospect in my book and a consensus top 15 pick. However, stupid teams drafting in the top 20 allowed him to drop to the Saints at 24. It’s almost not fair. The rich get richer. This is…

By Eric Karkovack   A 3-1 start to the season was sealed with a somewhat frustrating 16-14 victory against the now 0-4 Carolina Panthers.  The Saints were without running backs Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush and the safeties were dropping like flies.  Roman Harper was already out with a hamstring injury,…

By Eric Karkovack  Mike Singletary’s San Francisco 49ers should be hobbling around this morning after repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot on Monday night.  Turnovers plagued what would have otherwise been a spirited performance for the now 0-2 49ers. For their part, the Saints (2-0) were only able to take slight…
