Saints are down
It is a surprise that the Saints are 0-2 after how they finished last season. But I also think Tampa Bay is a much better team than we all thought. Still, I am encouraged that they did move the football; they had a bunch of yards, but they turned it over a couple of times. I don’t think anything has changed and they still have an outstanding quarterback in Drew Brees, outstanding running backs and I still believe they can pull it together defensively. They should be in the playoff mix at the end. But they have put themselves in a big hole by losing the first two.
I’ve been reading that Jon Gruden is in trouble, but I think the whole key on Jon is that maybe he was right. He was rolling in a van full of quarterbacks in order to find the right one and he got a veteran in Jeff Garcia who is managing the game. Garcia didn’t have great numbers, but he was able to throw a couple of big passes to Joey Galloway. And Cadillac Williams (bruised ribs) showed me quite a bit by scoring two touchdowns. They tailed off a little defensively the last few years, but with veteran defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin around the Bucs will be solid defensively, and if Garcia can stay healthy, they will improve over what they were last year.
