The Saints Nation Gathering Hole.

Ok I guess I'll lead off on somethin I wonder about:

The "other" X factor

Sure we know 2 things that can give us a chance at a great season and what can break it (i.e. Brees injury, another poor secondary outing, star player in trouble with the law)

The "other" X factor is what player has to step up and make a difference to a true SB run like we all want here.  True we havent drafted, but a lot of these players most likely (most likely, some of these cats might be stars in the future, but on paper....) will be role players this year.

Mine is Robert Meachem. 

We got guys like Bush, Johnson, Harper, and Bullocks who could start but seem like they might have the same impact as in 2007 which is minimal.

Meachem can REALLY take this O into another level and open up things in the middle for whoever starts at TE and the slot reciever.  If all other pieces fit of course.

Meacham is not a bad pick. I think J Goodwin or whoever else is playing center will have a profound affect on our success. A center is like the QB of the line, they call the shots, if they call the wrong ones or when opposing D's figure out the weak link, our offense will be FUBAR.

Great idea NOS  I'm ready for the draft hey guys once every 3 months my part time job I do on the weekends takes me to New Orleans we should meet up at a resturant in the French Quarter sometimes I'll post when I will be getting back down there.

foreest I agree I think Meachem will have a breakout year and give Colston some relief from being the main focus of the opposing defenses he has the tools, attitute and work ethic to make a big impact .

Goodwin is a solid center and while he won't be as good as Faine in the passing game I think he will be better in the running game.

Thanks NOS for starting a watering hole type of page where we can just come in and chat. I think you can go ahead and pin it because we will use it a good bit.

Saint2Miami has a son now go congratulate him
