Just don't pick a fight with the boss, and you won't.

I still dont think it shoulda happened, but it is Als site. He is justified to do as he pleases.
Remember way back when? Te Saints took every pre-season like the SB...then stunk up the year...pre means pre...at least that is what we hope...getting the kinks out...adjustments, eval, cut a few guys...

Depending on which side of the panic meter you fall, Saturday night's performance was reminiscent of either the 41-36 stunner in Seattle last postseason or the 30-7 drubbing to Dallas in the 2006 preseason.
I'm leaning toward the latter. If you recall, the Saints lost their final three preseason games in 2006 and were outscored a whopping 67-30. Then they proceeded to open the regular season with three consecutive wins.
Keep that in mind as you pour over the ugly statistics from the box score this morning.
Yes, the Saints looked like Texas toast for most of the game. Yes, the Texans dominated when the regulars were on the field. And yes, the rebuilt front seven looked as formidable as a pack of Oompa-Loompas against the Texans' front-liners.
But there are reasons to believe this was an anomaly.
For starters, the Saints' defense was missing two key players. It played largely without cornerback Tracy Porter and free safety Malcolm Jenkins, who was limited to certain nickel packages while mending a minor knee injury. What's more, key rotational players Johnny Patrick, Clint Ingram, Jeff Charleston, Tom Johnson, Leigh Torrence and Fabian Washington also didn't suit up. Aubrayo Franklin left early with an injury.
And the Saints' defense that was on the field was more vanilla than a Bananas Foster.
As aggressive as Williams was last week against the 49ers, he was conservative against the Texans. The Saints rarely blitzed and mostly sat back in a basic 4-3 defense and took their lumps.
Remember, the Saints play the Texans in Week 3. They'd be foolish to tip their hands in any way in a meaningless exhibition game. And they didn't.

I never put much into pre season games, the game last week against the 49'ers prooved to me that the have what it takes, i think they took their foot off the gas on this game, they sure dont need anyone hurt.If they play the first 2-3 games like they did last night then .....HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!
