“They kind of look, in some ways, a little bit like the Rams did back in 2001 with a player like [Reggie] Bush similar to [Marshall] Faulk — a guy who could come out of the backfield, and split out and be a receiver, but line up in the backfield and be a running back. Players like that that are just rare — very hard to match up with — that give an offense a dimension that you just don’t see during the course of the year and then all the other things that go with it.”

Well, Tay, I guess you are right in spite of what at least a few Saints fans seem to be in denial about. Who are we to argue with this football genius?? Pretty high praise.

He ain’t much of a talker, but ain’t a hater, either.

Except for the jets, of course, who deserve it.

Really, really high praise for the defense…

If it’s not on the cover page of this sb nation’s site, let me know. I copied it. It was too good to lose.

Actually, the one I liked even better was the quote from the TB coach. Someone asked him something about Drew being a little bit off, so was he less of a worry. The answer stareted with, “Are you crazy?!?!” We’re talking Drew Brees.

what was his intention in saying all of those most complimentary comments.

Was it:
1. To keep the press off his back when we blow them away?
2. Mess with our minds?
3. Be honest and trustworthy opponent and friend to the press.
4. All of the above

that transcript. The man aint gonna hand out no ammunition for anybody to use against him or his team. Payton’s transcript was very vague also but they don’t want any useful info getting out that might give a clue as to who’s playing and what their going to do. It’s just a chess match. The final word I want to hear is CHECK MATE !!!

He will have his team ready. They scheme well against Greg Williams Defenses (he has been in the AFC for years, coached the bills). Bill has seen enought of his stuff……but i think the way williams has done things this year with his personnel just has billy b guessing a little bit.

I agree dont read into it to much

he’s only saying the obvious, about us, what everybody says this yr. as far as coach speak goes. He probably wishes he could coach the Saints. And to be honest outside of his blunder @ Indy, if he was our coach I don’t think we would have stuggled v.s. Rams (Payton did call some dumb stuff in St.Lou). Anyway I don’t want bash Payton, but at the same time I don’t want him to lose the game, instead of play execution, player mistakes, or penalties. If we only new what’s said in closed player/coach prep. meetings this week thats the true coach speak. Oh to be a fly on the wall, or in New Orleans that coachroach in the corner….I has to be an offensive explosion type game, NE def isn’t the one of years past with Bruschi,Vrable,Harrison ,Seymour,etc We’ll have our hands full with Moss and Co. b/c of our banged up 2ndary but a couple of stops more is the difference..Heres one, its 4&2 on our 28 1:30 left, does Payton punt/go for it?, sound familiar?

he didn’t reveal anything. he just mentioned what he thought of the team. That’s why I used the term overanalyze, what coach does reveal anything?

It’s just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool to hear Belichek saying that about MY SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give it a season or two and all of those analysts on ESPN and elsewhere who really ONLY know how to look in the rear view mirror, anyway, will get it right. WHODAT!!!!

Who Dat!!!!!!
WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wisecracks aobut my perspective are probably deserved.
Which remind me, I was so surprised that the “The Saints are so good that…” died on the vine so quick! Are y’all reeeeeeally from south Louisiana?
