The News out of Saints camp this week was surprising to some and not so much for others. Last week for those fans like myself who watch the game closely, there was a drastic difference in the O-Line play from the previous week. I kept telling my friends it looked like we had a rookie in at center. In fact we saw the return of All-Pro Olin Kreutz. He left a lot to be desired and his play at center was horrible at best. I kept screaming at the TV for Brian Del la Puente to come in. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who was watching. I doubt that Sean Payton had to watch any film. According to his press conference Payton, Mickey Loomis and Kreutz met on Monday to discuss his future with the team. You can say what you want, that meeting, was called by Payton and not Olin Kreutz. The fact that Kreutz's agent said his client is not retiring tells us quite a bit. The guess here is personal issues along with a lot of thinking when Kreutz was out injured and he didn't see the team miss a beat without him. The Saints found a starter in Del la Puente and still have Matt Tenant waiting in the wings. The Saints will play better this week now that Sean Payton has gotten rid of another distraction. But make no mistake, before that meeting on Monday Drew Brees was on the phone to the Coach putting in his two cents as well. Drew is all about winning and if you aren't bringing your "A" game along with his, you will not be in the lineup. It's as simple as that.
This weeks game was supposed to be the Match UP of the Mid-Season. The Colts however are without their star QB and their defense is hurting. The Saints are back at home and know they let one slip away last week. This game should be over at halftime but knowing my heroes they love to keep it interesting so I am going to say the Saints will pull away in the 4th Quarter. Saints get needed win at home.GO SAINTS!!!
