Saints Fullback Heath Evans (44) plans to be back at full strength in 2010.

Not only is he one of the top fullbacks in the league, he’s also a first-class guy off the field as well.  Through the Heath Evans Foundation, Heath and his team work to provide free counseling services to sexually abused children.  He’s hosting a softball game in New Orleans on April 28 that will feature all of your favorite Saints and is also involved in a one-of-a-kind raffle.  All to benefit the foundation and help some kids in need.

Heath was kind enough to speak with me about his career, what the Saints need to do to repeat in 2010 and his charitable efforts.  You can listen to the full interview using the streaming player below or download an mp3:

Receiver Lance Moore wasn't sure that his 2-point conversion in Super Bowl XLIV would count. After a booth review, it did. (Reuters photo)

Receiver Lance Moore made one of the most crucial plays in the Saints’ Super Bowl XLIV victory over the Colts – a diving 2-point conversion that helped New Orleans build a lead in the second half.  But Lance Moore was already one of the most popular players on the team.  It seemed like Saints fans started to adore Moore years earlier, when he showed off his quickness and great hands in training camp.  But it wasn’t until 2008 that he became a star, leading the team with 79 receptions for 928 yards and 10 TDs.

2009 was a bit more difficult, as Moore battled injuries for most of the season.  But it all ended with a bang, as he was able to contribute in the biggest game in Saints history.

Lance, who is currently a restricted free agent, sat down with me to discuss his career and that famous 2-point conversion.

1. How are things going with your contract status?  What are you chances of returning to the Saints for 2010?
All I can really say about that question is that I would love to be back in New Orleans next year and for many years to come.

2. You scored what was probably the most famous 2 point conversion in Super Bowl history.  The play was so close that it went to replay.  At the time, were you confident that the review would go in your favor?
When I got up off of the ground I really was not sure, but I knew that it was close. When I got to the sideline people were telling me that the ball was kicked out of my hands. I knew that he touched my leg first and that’s when I knew that it was a good catch.

3. I can imagine that the 2009 season had to be a bit frustrating for you considering the injuries you had to deal with.  So how much did it mean to you to get that opportunity to make such an important play in the biggest game of your life?
The whole season was tough with injuries and trying to get back healthy, but it definitely was a dream come true to be able to get back healthy and participate in the Super Bowl. Making plays in that game was just the icing on the cake.

4. How would you describe your experience coming back to NOLA after winning it all and taking part in the Super Bowl parade?
New Orleans always has warm receptions for the Saints, but after the Super Bowl it was like nothing I’ve ever seen. We were told that there was going to be a couple hundred thousand people, but we never could have imagined that there was going to be as many as there ended up being. It was an awesome feeling.

5. The Saints receivers as a group seem to be very hard-working and humble.  Everyone seems to check their egos at the door.  How do you guys continue to maintain such a low profile even though you are key players in the most prolific offense in the league?
I think we keep each other in check pretty much. We (are) more interested in our success as a whole than any one guy is in his stats or accolades. I think that’s what makes our group as good as we are.

6. One of the aspects of this team that has impressed me the most over the past few seasons is watching players like yourself and Devery Henderson develop into such reliable targets for Drew Brees.  It really seems like he can go to anyone in this offense in any situation.  Can you describe the kind of work that you guys put in with Drew to create that kind of chemistry?
It really doesn’t take much discussion. It’s hours and hours of work with him. That involves talking, film watching, and hundreds if not thousands of routes. Hard work really does pay off.

7. Have you taken some time this offseason to reflect on what you and your teammates accomplished, and what it means to the city?
Yes I have gotten a chance to reflect, and it’s still pretty crazy to me. It’s almost surreal. I think that it will all become real when we get our rings.

8. I’ve always wanted to ask a receiver this question – what goes through your mind when you’re running a route across the middle of the field, and you know you’re going to take a hit?
The only thing that I think of is catch the ball.

9. Lastly, how has winning the Super Bowl changed your life?
It’s made me a champion forever no matter what happens for the rest of my career. But I def wanna get back and win another one.

Saints fullback Kyle Eckel played a vital role in the team's run to the Super Bowl. (AP Photo)

Fullback Kyle Eckel was signed by the Saints midway through the 2009 season, after starter Heath Evans was placed on injured reserve.  He immediately filled the void left by Evans’ injury and led the way for running backs Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, Reggie Bush and Lynell Hamilton.

Kyle was kind enough to share his experiences with the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints:

1. When the Saints brought you in after Heath Evans’ injury, did you have any idea that you were coming to a team that was going to have such a special season?
I knew the team was having a lot of success and slowly but steadily they were becoming favorites to come out of the NFC. The offense was especially highlighted but the defense was incredible with their take-aways.

2. I assume you played with Heath during your days in New England – did he have any role in your coming to New Orleans?
Yes I played with Heath and yes he did. Heath recommended me to the coaching staff after he went down. I’ll be forever grateful for that.

3. Fullback is a vital position, but tends to be often overlooked by fans. Was it a position that you chose to play or was it more of a situation where that was the best fit for you?
I was a fullback coming out of college so naturally the NFL kept me at that position. Granted fullback at Navy has a lot of different responsibilities than the NFL as in running the ball 15-20 times a game.

4. As a lead blocker, did you have to make adjustments to your game according to who was running behind you? Would you block differently for Pierre Thomas than you would Reggie Bush?
No. I just did my job and those guys ran great. Setting the block is a straight forward assignment. Sure it’s easier said than done. Those guys read my blocks and then take it from there. It was special playing with a quality backfield like that. Of course I watched Reggie Bush in college and adding the fact I blocked for him to a list of NFL accomplishments is a great thing. List includes being handed an NFL touchdown by Doug Flutie and Tom Brady.

5. What was a more intense situation for you guys – playing in front of that amazing Superdome crowd in the NFC Championship or playing in the Super Bowl?
Both were awesome. I couldn’t say which was more intense but I’d say the Superbowl was as nerve-racking as the Superdome was loud.

6. Can you describe your experience in the week leading up to the Super Bowl? I found it amazing that you guys were able to stay focused with all of the chaos that week seems to bring.
After the initial arrival the work week pretty much continued like a usual week but with the media portion of it all and also going about our daily routine in a hotel and different facilities. I’d say the biggest distraction for most guys would be just the basic idea that the Supwerbowl awaits. The Superbowl.

7. As you look back at the season, what set the Saints apart from every other team?
I couldn’t speak for other teams that season but what I think made the Saints such a great team started with our leadership from coach to Drew Brees. I think there was a great combination of veterans and youth on the team. A lot of things need to fit perfectly to have a season like that as evident by the NFC championship ending. If one thing was different that game the ending might’ve been much different.

8. What are your plans for the 2010 season? Is there a possibility of coming back to the Saints?
As of right now I’m a free agent. I hope there’s a chance because I’d love to come back and try and repeat the whole thing again. I guess we’ll have to wait and see but no matter happens I’m grateful for last year and the fun I had.

9. Since you’re a Philly native and a fellow Pennsylvanian, I have to ask. What’s wrong with the Flyers this year???
Haha I’m not sure, bud. Ever since the strike I haven’t gotten back into hockey like I once was. There was something about the new rules and 10 goal scoring games that just didn’t do it for me. Maybe I’m a hockey purist but it was sad to see the rules be so bent out of shape to try and lure in new hockey fans with a simple gimmick of “more goals = more fun”. Hockey fans are hockey fans and that’s that. Trying to diversify a fan base radically is a terrible idea no matter what sport. I see now the scoring has dropped down a bunch from immediately after the strike. Maybe the defenses are adjusting but I’m still having a hard time getting back into it. Little by little I’m working my way but before the strike if you asked me which sport I loved to watch more, football or hockey, I’d probably have said hockey.

Jonathan Goodwin credits coach Sean Payton with keeping the team focused during the week prior to the Super Bowl.

1. First, I have to ask, how would you describe the atmosphere in the Superdome after you won the NFC Championship?
Electric!! As soon as the kick got over the line of scrimmage the fans in the end zone started to celebrate, so at that point I knew it had to be on track to be good. After that it was a man hug session (haha). We all were so excited! Everything that we said we wanted to accomplish had been done. We still had one goal left, but to get to that point was a great feeling for us also. Four years ago we got to that point and came up short and that was one of the worst feelings you can ever experience as a professional athlete.

2. The week before the Super Bowl seems like it would be full of distractions. How were you guys able to focus on practicing and film study with so much going on around you?
Well coach Payton did a great job of preparing us for the distractions. We took care of all out tickets and things like that during the bye week, so we could focus on just football the week we spent in Miami. Another thing that coach did that was smart was he didn’t give us the whole gameplan until we got to Miami. This was key because we spent the week in Miami learning the game plan instead of just trying to remember it from the bye week.

3. You guys had a little bit of a slow start against the Colts, but from the second quarter on it was all Saints. Was there anything said in the huddle or on the sidelines that helped get you going?
Honestly we played well in the first half we just missed a couple plays. On the first series Drew missed Meach, on the second series we had a drop, and then we had the goal line stand. The whole game we had confidence we just started taking advantage of our opportunities in the second half. We believe we are the only people that can stop our offense.

4. Did you have any idea during halftime that Sean Payton called for the onside kick to begin the second half? I’ve heard that Thomas Morstead was terrified when he was told, but did the rest of the team know what was going to happen?
Coach told us all week he was going to call it. He just didn’t know when he would. At half time he told us we would start the half with the ball because he was calling the ambush.

5. During the game, when did it sink in that you guys were actually going to win and become champions?
When we took the 24-17 lead Jon Stinchcomb said to me that we were just over three minutes from winning the Super Bowl. A few plays later Tracy got the interception and then I asked Stinch to tell me that again. So I would say at that point.

6. When the game ended, was there anyone or anything that you thought of right away?
Just my wife, I was trying to see if she was making her way down to the field. It was the greatest feeling you can ever experience as an athlete so I wanted to share it with my family.

7. Looking back on the season as a whole, one thing that struck me was how many things have to go just right for a team to win the Super Bowl. Have you had a chance to sit back and reflect on what it took to win it all?
You are right. Just think if we don’t come back in the Dolphins game or the Carolina game at home then we don’t have home field advantage. That alone could have made it tougher to get to Miami.

8. Personally, you had a great season, earning a trip to the Pro Bowl for the first time. Would you attribute your success to a different approach to the game or is it more about gaining experience and being out there every Sunday?
I had a dream season to go to your first Pro Bowl and win the Super Bowl in the same season is a dream come true. I prepared the same way as I have always done. I think more people just noticed me and some of the other guys more this year.

9. You guys sure seemed to have a great time at the big parade in NOLA. What was it like to be in the middle of that scene?
It was great! It was an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. The city of New Orleans made us all feel like kings. The fans love us and we love our fans back.

10. Finally, do you have plans to do anything exciting during the offseason?
No just relax and take some vacations.

Willie Roaf is one of the greatest offensive tackles of all time.

When you’re talking about the greatest player to ever wear a Saints uniform, Willie Roaf has got to be at the top of your list.  #77 was perhaps the most dominant offensive lineman of his generation.  But with his humble manner, you’d never know it.

After a great college career at Louisiana Tech (during which he was nominated for the prestigious Outland Trophy), Roaf was the Saints’ 1st round pick  (8th overall) back in 1993 under coach Jim Mora.  He was an immediate star and made an incredible 7 Pro Bowls in 9 seasons with the Saints.  He was named to the NFL’s All Decade team for the 1990s.  After the 2001 season, he was traded to Kansas City and made the Pro Bowl in each of his 4 seasons as a Chief.  He retired from after the 2005 season.  He may very well become the first player ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a Saint.

I had the great honor of speaking to Willie Roaf and, as you’ll hear, he is a genuine man who truly enjoys the game of football.  He shared some wonderful stories from his career and also praised the 2009 edition of the Saints.  I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed speaking to Willie!

1. The 2009 Falcons remind me a little bit of the 2007 Saints.  Both teams were coming off of surprising playoff runs and have had letdowns afterwards. In your opinion, what has caused the Falcons to struggle this season?
They got off to a 4-1 start, but teams seem to catch up to what they were doing. Also, they’ve played a brutal schedule, facing four teams that were coming off of bye weeks. The tough schedule coupled with a maturing young quarterback has hurt their efforts up to this points. Also, a rash of injuries lately has not been helpful to their efforts.

2. What areas do the Falcons need to improve upon?
The defensive secondary has struggled for most of the year in allowing big players. They have not played well in man to man coverage and John Abraham has not been the same player who registered 16.5 sacks last season.

3. I imagine that people in Atlanta are probably tired of hearing about him, but did the crowd reaction to Michael Vick on Sunday surprise you?
No, I was not surprised. He was very popular here and a lot of people believe he paid his debt to society.

4. There is talk of Matt Ryan coming back to play this week against New Orleans.  Just how bad is his toe injury, and how effective can he be?
I know that he going to try to play, but the turf toe isn’t an injury to mess around with. If he comes back too soon he could further damage his foot and possibly lead to surgery. We suspect that it’s a second degree sprain based on the analysis of the symptom and that they are treating it aggressively.

5. What do you think the keys to Sunday’s game are from a Falcons  perspective?
Getting healthy. Without Ryan and Turner they don’t’ have a chance. Both had strong games in the previous meeting on Nov. 2. Turner ran for 151 yards and Ryan passed for 289, including a 68-yard touchdown pass to Roddy White. If they are not healthy, the game will take on the tone of a scrimmage.

6. Looking at the big picture in the NFC, do you think the Falcons have a realistic chance of getting a Wild Card berth?
They are still in the race and the NFC East teams will knock each other off. It would help them if Green Bay collapses down the stretch. If they can get healthy and stun the Saints they will likely be on their way back to the playoffs. They finish with the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

7. What are your impressions of the Saints this year?
Very enjoyable to watch. The emergence of the running game has been the key to their success along with the improvements on defense, a healthy Will Smith and the play of Darren Sharper.

8. Besides the Saints and Vikings, are there any other teams who have a shot to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl?
The defending NFC champion Arizona Cardinals should not be overlooked. They trounced the Vikings last Sunday night have a potent offense that could keep up with the Saints.

Brian Mitchell was a Pro Bowl punt returner for the Skins, Eagles and Giants.

Not many people know more about the Saints vs. Redskins match-up this weekend than former star punt returner/current analyst Brian Mitchell.  Brian hails from Louisiana and, as you’ll hear, knows his Saints football.  But he made his name in the NFL as a prolific punt returner/running back for the Washington Redskins.  Widely known for telling it like it is, he chatted with me on the phone to discuss the state of his beloved Redskins, the success of the Saints and what he thinks will happen at FedEx Field on Sunday.

Saints' safety Roman Harper (right) is making big plays on a regular basis. (Times-Picayune Photo)

One of the players who has benefited most from defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ aggressive scheme is strong safety Roman Harper.  Through 5 games (they’re 5-0, you know!) Harper is leading the defense with 34 tackles.  On Sunday against the previously-undefeated Giants, he sacked Eli Manning and forced a fumble.  It led to a key touchdown and helped the Saints stay undefeated.

Taken out of Alabama in the 2nd round of the 2006 NFL draft, Roman has been a fixture in the secondary as a starter since the 2007 season.  His hard-hitting and aggressive style has made him a fan favorite in New Orleans and has led to a new level of success on the field in 2009.  He, along with veteran Darren Sharper are playing at a very high level so far this year and have helped the Saints become one of the most opportunistic defenses in the NFL.

Roman took time out of his very busy schedule to chat with me about his role in the new-look defense and his career:

1. A lot of fans and media have predicted that you will thrive in Gregg Williams’ defensive scheme.  How would you describe your role in this year’s defense compared to the past?

I think he put a lot more on our shoulders and I think overall it’s a totally diff type of scheme you can’t really compare it to last year’s – it’s like comparing apples to oranges.  I like it because it’s more aggressive, it’s a little more of my style, sometimes it cuts you loose.  It’s a scheme to where after a game you’re not going to have the feeling that you didn’t get cut loose.

2. One thing I’ve noticed about Gregg Williams is that he likes to blitz the safeties more often.  How do you like getting after the quarterback?

I enjoy it, it’s good, it’s a good part of my game.  It’s all about timing – with good timing you can be pretty decent at it.  As far as the game, anytime a DB gets to blitz we get really excited b/c we don’t get to do it that much.

3. Safety seems like one of those positions where you have to get fired up to go out and hit somebody!  Do you do anything special to prepare yourself for contact on game days?

Wear a mouth piece, that’s it.

4. How valuable has it been to have a veteran like Darren Sharper join the team?

It’s been valuable, being around him as a true pro and vet of the game, he’s been doing this at a high level for very long.  Playing and training beside him has taught me a lot on and off the field.  It’s been great.

5. There are a lot of big receivers out there – who is the toughest to bring down after a catch?

Probably Brandon Marshall, he’s a younger TO, and TO is prolific after he catches the ball in his hand.  He’s big and strong.

6. Does practicing against Drew Brees every day help make the defense better?

Of course, in my opinion he’s the best QB in the league with Peyton Manning of course.  We go up against each other every day, really compete with each other and we work hard.   There’s great competition every day when we go out there.

7. You guys are off to a great start this season, but I’ve heard coach Payton discuss the need to get better.  Defensively, what do you need to improve on?

We just need to improve on communication don’t give up so many leaky yards. Be better tacklers and improve on our fits.

8. Since you’ve been in New Orleans a few years now, I have to ask – do you have a favorite restaurant or meal?

Emerils is a really nice time, nice set-up, and sitting by the cook is the best place to sit!

9. Finally, I think you’re the perfect guy to ask about this.  How does it feel put a big hit on Steve Smith (of the Panthers)?  That guy drives me nuts, I can only imagine what it’s like to play against him!

I think Steve Smith is one of the best receivers in the league, there’s nothing bad you can ever say about that guy.

Mike took time out of his busy day to answer a few questions about this year’s team, the big game against the Giants and some of the different personalities that make up the Saints locker room:

1. As someone who is viewing the team from up-close, what would you say are the biggest differences in the 2009 Saints from the disappointing teams of the past two seasons?

Well, the obvious answers are the defense and the run game. But even more than that it’s probably been Sean Payton’s TRUST in the defense and the run game. Over the past three weeks he’s taken a more conservative approach to win the field-position game against Philadelphia, Buffalo and the Jets because he wanted to make those shaky offenses work for every point. And even when the games stayed close in the first half and into the third quarter, he stayed patient and didn’t try to dial up any big-play gambles.

I’m not sure if the run game is “for real.” But I never thought it was that bad in years past either. I think the Saints have a middle-of-the-pack running game that, like most teams, works a lot better when they’re protecting leads instead of playing catch-up.

The approach on defense has been exactly what this team was missing. The Saints badly needed to mix things up and play more aggressive on that side of the ball after the old formula clearly wasn’t working. It’s not like they added a bunch of Pro Bowlers, but the new approach may send guys like Sharper, Smith, Grant and Vilma back to the Pro Bowl. And cornerback Jabari Greer has quietly been a huge addition because he handles that demanding role with a great deal of confidence.

That all being said, Drew Brees is as good as any player in the NFL at any position right now, so his arm will still lead them wherever they’re going.

2. Sean Payton seems to be much more interested in patience and balance (particularly on offense) this season.  Do you think that’s something he’s learned from experience or was it more a matter of not having the right personnel?

I should have read ahead before giving my first answer. I guess I’m not telling you anything you don’t know. … I definitely think it’s something he’s learned from experience and placed a big emphasis on heading into this season – especially against teams like the Jets, the Bills and the Eagles (with Kolb at QB). Payton figured none of those teams could match points with the Saints unless they gave them some freebies, so he didn’t need to get antsy or get cute. … That’s definitely something he learned from the experience of losing too many games the Saints should have won – most notably that game at Washington last year.

Drew Brees was just saying this week that the Saints have considered themselves a playoff-caliber team the last two years, but they blew too many close games for “stupid” reasons. That more than anything is something they want to eliminate this year.

3. Looking at this week’s match-up against the Giants, it would seem like Eli Manning will be far and away the best quarterback the Saints defense has faced so far.  While the defense has played great through four games, they haven’t exactly faced an offensively-gifted team.  If Manning has a great game, do you think it means the Saints will have been exposed by a good quarterback or will it be seen as just a bump in the road?

Well, I don’t expect Eli to pick the Saints defense apart. But he does offer the biggest challenge by far because he’s a very good quarterback, and the Giants have a very balanced offense with a great offensive line and a great run game. They don’t have any weaknesses that the Saints can easily exploit. … Another key to the Saints’ defensive success this year has been that they’ve been leading every game, forcing the other QBs to play catch-up. They might not have that luxury this week.

I’m not sure if the Saints defense can keep its current pace all season. But the improvements are definitely for real. It’s not a case of them just facing easy competition to this point. … It’s the schemes, the improved personnel in the secondary, the hungry attitude and maybe most importantly, the health. We kinda forgot that Will Smith and Charles Grant were very good players a couple years ago before their injury woes crept up.

4. If there is an unsung hero on this team so far, who would you pick?

Definitely Greer. I’d even argue he’s been just as important as Darren Sharper because of the position he plays. He might not be a Pro Bowl-caliber corner, but he’s very confident and comfortable as a No. 1 corner and he’s handled himself very well when he’s matched up against top receivers like Calvin Johnson, DeSean Jackson, T.O. and Jerrico Cotchery. … His presence has made the Saints very deep from top to bottom at corner. When’s the last time you could say that about the Saints?

5. Since you’re in the locker room, do you get a sense for what the personality of this team is like?  Are they a boisterous bunch or all business?

Well, it’s hard to lump the entire locker room together since you get all kinds of personality types among 60 guys. But in general it’s a very upbeat locker room with guys who have mostly stayed positive and on board with the direction of this team even through the missed playoff years. … They aren’t surprised one bit by this early success this year. They thought this is the kind of team they should have been in ’07 and ’08, too.

I’d say they lean more toward boisterous than serious. There’s always a good amount of joking and trash-talking, especially when it comes to college football rivalries. A bunch of guys play video games. And there’s really no malcontents in the bunch. … Life is good when you’re 4-0, of course, but the atmosphere has always remained pretty upbeat.

6. Has there been one player on this team in particular that you really enjoy talking to?

Just like everything else he does so well, Brees is the best in that department too. He gets a little cliché at times, but for the most part he’s extremely insightful and entertaining on most any subject. If you’re writing a feature story about Lance Moore, Darren Sharper, Thomas Morstead or leaguewide trends, chances are he’ll give the best quote or anecdote. … He’s even chased me down on more than one occasion because he thought of something later that he forgot to mention. … I even asked him for a fantasy football tip this summer, and he thought long and hard before recommending the Giants’ Steve Smith. Not bad, huh?

Deuce McAllister was probably the most genuine good guy I’ve ever met in sports. You’ll hear that from a lot of people. And I could really name about 30 guys in this locker room or recent Saints teams that stand out for one reason or another … I know that sounds like I’m kissing up, but it really is a good group of guys for the most part.

Center Jonathan Goodwin has helped the Saints become one of the top rushing offenses in the league so far in 2009. (Times-Picayune Photo)

Quarterback Drew Brees is always among the least-sacked qb’s in the game, something Goodwin says the line takes a lot of pride in.  And this year, the Saints’ running attack is among the elite in the league.

Jonathan was gracious enough to take time out of his busy schedule to chat with me about the 2009 season so far:

1. The offensive line has been great with run-blocking so far this year. Did you guys come into the season knowing that you would run the ball more often?
It was a goal of ours to improve the run game. We all knew we were good enough to have a better rushing attack. Coach Payton told us we would be a more balanced team as far as the play calling. I think we as a line felt like it would be a key to the success of the team if we could run the ball better.

2. Drew Brees is always among the least sacked quarterbacks in the game. How much pride does the line take in that stat?
Yes we take a lot of pride in that. We view Drew as the best quarterback in the league. He is the key to our offense. It’s a stat that we take very seriously. I think each guy goes out every week and has the goal of keeping Drew up the entire game.

3. It seems like the most successful offensive lines are a tight-knit group. So how proud are you guys of Jermon Bushrod for stepping up the way he has this season?
We are an extremely close group. We feel like every lineman on the team should be ready to play. So yes we are very proud of how Jermon stepped in and we did not miss a beat.

4. Who’s the toughest defensive tackle you’ve had to face?
Kris Jenkins

5. If the O-line had an arm-wrestling tournament, who would win?
It would be between Carl Nicks and Jon Stinchcomb.

6. Since you’ve been in New Orleans for a few years now, do you have a favorite restaurant or meal in the city?
Nola
