New Orleans Saints Review

As our beloved SUPER BOWL CHAMPS begin their quest to repeat (or TWO DAT, as dey say), here are five questions I have about the Saints:

1. How will Patrick Ramsey pick up this offense? Ramsey was finally signed to a one year deal to back up Drew Brees.  The concern I have is that your backup QB is just a hit away from entering a game.  Ramsey is going to need to pick up this offense fairly quickly.  He’s been around the block, so maybe he’s used to such things.  He will get plenty of playing time in the preseason to try and figure things out.  Let’s just hope that he doesn’t need to play in a meaningful game anytime soon.

2. Who will take the starting defensive end job opposite Will Smith? It looked like former Chicago Bear Alex Brown had the inside track of replacing Charles Grant after the Saints released Bobby McCray.  But the Saints have brought McCray back into the fold and it will make for one of the more interesting battles in training camp.  Jeff Charleston & Jimmy Wilkerson are also in the mix.

3. How do you replace Scott Fujita? Fujita’s leadership and solid play are now in Cleveland.  The Saints are hoping former Jaguar Clint Ingram can make an impact.  If not, either Jo-Lonn Dunbar or Troy Evans will get a shot.

4. How long will Patrick Robinson hold out? The Saints’ first round pick out of Florida State needs to get into camp – if only because his position of cornerback is crowded.  If he wants to make an impact this season, he would be well advised to get in asap.  But, who knows, he may sign before this post hits the internet!

5. What’s the attitude? This is, of course, the question a lot of people have about the Saints in 2010.  Will they be hungry for a repeat, or are they still riding the wave of all that good will and celebration that has occurred since their Super Bowl victory?
