If Tate can stay healthy I don't see what the issue is. He has far more upside than does Ward.

I wonder if Smith can spin Slaton into anything or if he'll Aaron Glenn him.

They should be calling Arizona now that their rookie is out for the season.

Hey, don't go knocking my anti-spam settings 'round here now, okay?

Thanks for the comms Arky.

So, basically, we are witnessing Mario's farewell Houston tour this season. Reed needs some time with the 1's. Barwin and Nading seem to be doing alright. Antonio Smith and J.J. Watt seem capable of handling the DE.

so, its preseason, doesn't mean much. N.O was a two point favorite coming into the game. Texans won 27-14.

in 2010 New Orleans came away with a 38-20 home victory as 1.5-point favorites

in 2009 Saints won 38-14. And Saints had 3 takeways, 2 int and fumble.

This year felt better than those past two years.
