Message: [QUOTE="Culhwch, post: 3321170, member: 1983"] Your o-line is going to get better at least, but regardless the way the Saints D played at every level was very pleasing, especially since we lost some good pieces on that side over the off season. I figured Winston would have improved after a year learning from Brees and under Payton, but the way he managed that game and refused to take ill-considered shot plays was fantastic to see. If he can do that consistently it should be a good year for us. Also got Thomas to come back into the line up, which is handy. I also liked that Payton didn't lean on Hill nearly as much a he was last year, and I think part of that is knowing he now has a QB who can make just about every throw. Winston can create that doubt in the D just by himself, whereas Brees was limited to short and intermediate throws, and Hill was needed to add that extra dimension. Edit to add - it also makes me wonder what might have been if Payton had pulled Brees for Winston against the Bucs in the play-offs last year... [/QUOTE]
