Drew Brees: "We Want to Score Every Time We Touch The Ball"
New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees was interviewed by Saints Radio Network/WWL Radio’s Bobby Hebert and Deke Bellavia Tuesday afternoon.
SaintsWin: Opinion & Analysis: Urgency and Mark Ingram --or-- Mending an Obstruction
Since Beelzebub Roger Goodell reinstated Sean Payton in January, Payton has repeatedly stated his intent to improve the Saints' running game in 2013.
From the Coach’s Office: Saints Rookie Minicamp 2013
The Saints scheduled a media session Saturday, May 11 beginning at 10:15 with a viewing and shooting period for 30 minutes, interviews with Head Coach Sean Payton and assistants, and an open locker room session for player interviews. The entire session would be over by 1:15.
Saints Nation: Who Will Be Brees' Backup in 2013? | Site
Every time this discussion comes up, I feel it is accompanied by the caveat that we hope this player will never get to see the field. If he does, the season has no hope. The Saints' chance at success starts and ends with Drew Brees' health. But while any hope at a second Super Bowl hinges on him playing, there's a reason the Saints keep two quarterbacks on the roster and with Chase Daniel bolting for Kansas City there's a lot of uncertainty with who will win the backup job for the first time in a while.

Saints famous Dome Patrol deserves statue outside their former home
It is time for "The Dome Patrol" to be immortalized in bronze. I know that I speak for a number of New Orleans Saints fans who are bewildered by the fact that the most famous and honored collective of players in the history of the franchise, a group dubbed the "Greatest Linebacking Corps of All Time" by the NFL Network and a quartet that is still the only set of linebackers named to start in a Pro Bowl, has not been properly honored by the Saints.
