What ever DV said he turned around and made sure he had the best o line in the league. So...with a grain of salt please.

Over react much?

13-3 sounds niiiiiiice.

Just draft O-line in round 1 every year; instant success.

That sounds about right.

I'd want my 3 best players to play QB, DE, and WR.

How many Superbowls have we seen lately that have been won with a drive in the last 2 minutes of the game? I want a QB that can lead that game winning drive and a WR for him to throw it too. Of course, I'd want the DE to stop the other teams game winning drive.

I don't think LT is as important if you have a great QB. Elite QB's get rid of the ball on time so you can get by with average pass protection.

LT, QB, DE/OLB would be a better philosophy.

If your quarterback is good enough you can win with a lot of wide receivers. See Peyton Manning and Brett Favre. I don't know what QB holds the record for most 1,000-yard WRs, but I'd bet it's Brett Favre.

Vermeil ****ed this franchise for half a decade or more.

I can't even believe his name is spoken.

RB, RG, Nickel CB, Punter. That's where it's at.

In reality, if you're going for three positions... QB, LT, pass rusher.

There's really more than one way to do it... there have been good QB's who have never won anything. And teams with no-name offensive lines. But you have to at least have someone playing at a 1st round level over there. Just watch, if the Saints LT doesn't step up the Saints are gonna get run out of the playoffs. Especially having to go up against the pass rush the Vikings, Eagles, or Cowboys are going to bring. At least in recent times, great pass rushes have beaten the great offenses. That's why the Colts, Steelers, and Giants have won. It's the only way to neutralize all these teams that spread it out.

The best defense is a good offense...:rolleyes:

I also think in a 3-4 scheme the NT is probably one of the MOST IMPORTANT positions. In the 4-3 the MLB is cause the DTs can share duty and help each other out (but the MLB is on his own). But in a 3-4 its the opposite. You can have two good (not great) LBs and still do fine. But you have to have a GREAT NT to do the job two people were doing before.

You can call me crazy all you want. But I will believe it to the end.

As far as offense, I wholeheartedly agree with the Vermeil strategy. And anyone who says Vermeil doesn't know offense is insane anyway. But I'll add that a RG is a HUGE asset also for a RB.

LMAO

O: QB, C, RB

D: ILB, NT, SS
