Kudos To Gary Gibbs And Of Course, The Deuce

Deuce Up Side Ya Head I said Deuce Up Side Ya Head, What?

That’s right. If you’re part of the tenured Saints Superfan section known as Cafe 641, you know the chant all too well. It’s about time the Saints had a running game. First time in about two years. It was a huge factor in the passing game as it allowed for many more deep passes for TD’s. Although not obvious, Deuce probably scored more than one TD. Yes, more than one. On the deep play to Lance Moore, anyone who observed closely could see that Drew very briefly turned his head toward Deuce and that instant something happened that would never even come close to happening even had Drew rubbed the ball in Reggie’s face like force feeding a baby on a play action pass; the defense stopped, just stopped and left Lance Moore open over the top for the big touchdown reception. Deuce influences these plays because he is respected……and feared; at least by the Niners. Overall, I thought Deuce looked better than he ever has in recent years with the Saints. He’s faster, as fast as Reggie now, and with his hole recognition, he can potentially be a ticking time bomb for any defense. May I add he’s doing this with two surgically repaired ACLs. Deuce, you da man.

Drew Brees finished with a decent day. He was off at the beginning of the game, but came around late after Deuce took some pressure off of him. He went 23-35 for 363 yards 3 TDs and 1 INT. The Saints had 467 yards of total offense.

Defense stepped up big due in part to the much anticipated return of Gary Gibbs’s balls. Defense had six sacks; Charles Grant-2, Tracy Porter-1, Will Smith-1, Kendrick Clancy-1, Sedrick Ellis-1; and got 2 interceptions, Tracy Porter-1, Kevin Kaesviharn-1.

Maybe we should chant balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, or not.

Gary, you have just been added to my JWD-Bags list so I could have the honor of taking you off, for now.

Next week, the Saints are in the Superdome Monday Night vs. the Minnesota Vikings. Kickoff at 7:30pm.

D-Bag Nominee Is Sean Payton, Like I Projected

Apparently, I missed news about this guy and the officials of the Denver Broncos game. Apparently, Payton has once again went to the officials to call a conference about why his team is not successful, in other words, he got fined $15,000 for criticizing them. Yeah, I know the Broncos were in the “little neutry zone” when the ball was snapped. I know had they not had “cheated”, we would have had a chance to maybe, quite possibly…………well I can’t really say. That’s the point, or part of it. If the Broncos weren’t in the neutral zone, the linebackers still had a good shot, a GOOD SHOT at whoever was runnin’ that ball. Because of the infraction, the D-line tackled him.

Despite all that, I’ve seen another example of Sean Payton bugging the officials about his business rather than going directly to his players. Sean Payton has become soft, softer.

I sense immaturity on the part of Sean Payton going to the officials every time his team sucks. If you remember the Dallas game two years ago, Sean Payton praised the officials to no end after his 42-17 less-than-perfect whoopin’ on the Cowboys. When asked about an obvious face mask on the Reggie Bush during a kick return, he said, “Until you’re down there, you really don’t know how hard these guys work, they do a terrific job.” HHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!! Yeah terrific.

He’s sings a different tune when he loses and that does not appeal to me. I’ve seen him countless times on TV yelling at an official, but I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve seen him yell at a player. You could say it’s because he’s a young coach, in respect to head coaching, but he’s starting to lose focus of what he really needs to do let alone not putting Deuce in when the fans want him. This just might be the turing point that first year playoff coaches of the year for the Saints typically have for Sean Payton. The non-cooperation and loss of focus. All that can be said to that is…………see ya in…..oh around 2012 when (2012 coach is named coach of the year by taking us to the playoffs)

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still bite for now. After all, don’t the Saints have an evil way of always putting a juicy, seasoned piece of heavenly chicken on the hook in their “FAITH Nets”. I think it’s interesting to see how things will play out for the umpteenth coach of the Saints. He can take his first step post D-bagging against San Francisco tomorrow. Yes, Sean Payton, you have been D-bagged.
