Time for some Saintsblogging. (And you should be forewarned, they may be more of this Saintsblogging as the leaves turn.)

Being as I am stuck in Louisiana, beseeching the Mazda gods for relief, I’ve gotten to see both Saints preseason games, each a loss. The Steelers game was downright discouraging, but our boys were back in kick-ass form versus the Bills Friday night. Best line of the media coverage was from David Gladow in the T-P, expressing an emotion that Saints fans know too well:

Who is going to step up at cornerback? Whenever a defensive back would get beat or make a bad play, every single fan around me would ask if it was Fred Thomas. Thomas is not Satan, people. The problems run deeper than that.

Fred Thomas, for the record, is not Satan. I can agree. I just wish he could occasionally stop the gentlemen on the other team from catching so many passes. That, lately, has been a problem.

(By the way, praying to the Mazda gods isn’t such a crazy idea. For instance, Freddie Mercury probably did it as a child.)
