Sanchez is Spanish for "turnover"?

I feel like it's my birthday: Contrast Sanchize and Delhomme.

View from Section 110-Bills' offense kinda sucks

stujo4 — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:08:26 -0000

Nice day at the Ralph, for the most part. Lots of Who Dats in attendance. Locals are an odd mix of very polite, very nice citizens and ugly, abusive mobs. No beers down the back or batteries upside the head, so I guess the abusive talk is just that, talk. But boy do they hate Archie Manning. No kidding. I've never been called a**hole and told I suck this much in one day in my life.

Great seats on the 30, 8 rows from the field, behind the Saints bench. Got to see that rarest of events (lately), the Charles Grant sack. Drew looked rushed and uncomfortable for most of the game, Bills bring the pressure. Bills fans were certain that this was still a evenly matched game until the 4th quarter. Dude, your offense hasn't even scored yet, how can you think that? Special teams trick plays don't count. You think your D is going to hold Drew and the Boys forever? Things changed when PT came in, he looked awesome, like a bowling ball rolling down the lane. Shut some people UP. Lots of penalties, one Payton meltdown over an uncalled time out? No one without a radio in the stadium could figure out what the dispute was about but it was obvious that Coach did not approve of the officiating. Oh yeah, they hate Shockey too, big time. And Reggie? Ugly. No respect. Bills fans had to hear the Who Dat cheer loud and clear in the final minutes, though. It all comes around. Good game, good Saints D overall, patience got the job done.

More Canadians than Saints fans.

JC Penney, Van Heusen sponsored site. They'll ask for your name, email, zip code, age, gender, and if they can spam you or not. Small price to pay to get Rickey some recognition.

Looking ahead, "fresh meat"!!

rotoworld.com:
Three of the Bills' starting offensive linemen have never taken an NFL snap before.
Be careful, Trent Edwards. Granted, two of the three are highly-touted draft picks in Eric Wood and Andy Levitre. The third is second-year man Demetrius Bell. But the group's lack of experience is a big concern heading into Monday night's opener against the Patriots.

Big Sed's gonna knock that smile off your face, Trent.

Do the Saints need TE Leonard Pope?

Do the Saints need TE Leonard Pope?

Rotoworld.com:
Leonard Pope-TE- Cardinals Sep. 4 - 5:54 pm et
Cardinals released TE Leonard Pope.
The 2006 third-rounder has the look of a prototypical tight end, but he just never developed as a blocker. It's telling that Dominique Byrd made the final cut ahead of Pope. The Saints and the Bengals could come calling.

Aug. 15 - 10:57 pm et
Cardinals tight end Leonard Pope played behind Stephen Spach and Ben Patrick in the team's preseason opener. Pope was also terrible, dropping a TD from Matt Leinart.

Mar. 31 - 4:59 pm et
Cardinals signed restricted free agent Leonard Pope to a one-year, $1.01 million contract.
Pope, the No. 72 overall pick in 2006, still hasn't developed as a blocker and reached a new low last season with just nine catches in 13 games after scoring five touchdowns in his second year. Pope isn't even certain to make the Cardinals, especially if they draft a tight end high in April.

Feb. 26 - 3:36 pm et
The Cardinals extended a low restricted free agent tender ($1.01 million) to Leonard Pope.
At 6'8/258 Pope appeared to be a promising prospect coming from Georgia in 2006, but he's regressed in three years and still can't block. It's surprising that he even got tendered.

Dec. 29 - 12:38 am et
The tight end position is expected to be a major area of focus for the Cardinals this offseason.
Starter Leonard Pope is an ankle sprain or mental error waiting to happen and doesn't block well enough to stay on the field for three downs.

"Houston opens against the Jets, whose DBs other than Darrelle Revis have struggled in preseason. Lito Sheppard has been a particular liability."

This is going to be a GREAT season!
