Pierre Thomas wants the Saints to have 100 yards rushing per game 'non-stop'
The first thought that usually comes up in a fans’ mind when they think about the New Orleans Saints is Drew Brees and their passing attack. Saints’ running back Pierre Thomas wants to change that especially now that it is a little less crowded with the departure of Chris Ivory to the New York Jets. This is what Thomas told The Times-Picayune “There’s going to be more focus...
Saints Nation Podcast: Drew Brees is not the 79th Best Player PFF!
Andrew, Dave and Kevin join Ralph to discuss Pro Football Focus ranking Drew Brees the 79th best player in 2012. Kevin tells Ralph to take his stat based logic and shove it because Brees isn't the 79th ranked anything.

Saints' Pierre Thomas welcomes a return to the ground game
Last season, the New Orleans Saints' rushing attack was all over the place, with no defined lead back. Four RBs spread the carries around without much success, but that's all about to change as head coach Sean Payton realizes the need to revitalize the running game.
Without Chris Ivory among the group, the roles will become a little clearer, something Pierre Thomas welcomes...
Saints, Jimmy Graham look to bounce back in 2013
It wasn’t just the New Orleans Saints who had a down year, tight end Jimmy Graham also struggled in 2012.
To many others, finishing with 85 catches, 982 yards and nine touchdowns as a tight end would be a bright spot, but for Graham it was the surprising amount of dropped balls that hurt.
His career-high 15 drops comes on 100 targets of the dominant tight end. It was five more...
New Orleans Saints Select DT John Jenkins in 2013 NFL Draft
3.20 New Orleans Saints John Jenkins, DT, Georgia (6-3, 346)
At 346 pounds, John Jenkins is a load and will be able to help contain the rush up the middle. But as far as him being effective with his new team, we’ll wait and see about that.
Jenkins is better suited to play in a 4-3 defense and the Saints will be running Rob Ryan’s 3-4. Normally, you like your defensive tackles...
Saints Nation: Players That Need to Step Up Their Game in 2013
After reading Andrew's article, I decided to come up with a list of my own. I have highlighted several players that CAN be valuable to the team, but need to step it up in 2013 if they have any hope of sticking with the team in the future.
1. Mark Ingram - I believe in Ingram and his ability to be the featured RB in the Saints' backfield. As you all know, his career...
2013 NFL Draft Team Grades: New Orleans Saints
First Round: Kenny Vacarro, S, Texas
It pretty much came down to Jarvis Jones or Kenny Vaccaro here, and I'm really OK with either one. Both are playmakers and the best available at their position. Their defense was so awful last year, that anything here would be an upgrade. Vaccaro I think is pretty underrated and can be a key player in their secondary for years to...

Saints Nation: The Top 10 Most Valuable Saints in 2013
Every year in May I revisit the roster to designate the ten players on the team that stand out as most important. This is the fifth time I've done this exercise and every year there seems to be a lot of shifts and changes, but there is always one constant: Drew Brees at the top. Last year I had four defensive players on the list and only two this year. Those guys better step...
