When you arrive in Philadelphia and you order that first genuine Philly cheese steak sandwich, you can’t believe that they ladle cheese whiz on it.
Yesterday, the Saints went to Philly and gave them a taste of Brees whiz.
Too corny? Well, these are heady times for Saints fans, so forgive us. For three years the Saints offense has shown spurts of brilliance, but rarely got the wins you’d expect. This year, not only are there a multitude of weapons on offense, there seems to be an emerging maturity. There’s just a certainty and a confidence to this offense. It's impressive.
Sunday Drew Brees and the offense got the special teams help that was lacking in week 1, as they pummeled the Eagles 48-22. The defense, while nowhere close to dominating, appears significantly improved over the porous past editions. Darren Sharper has proven to be the fastest dividend-paying free agent pickup ever, as he picked off his 3rd pass of the year, returning it 97 yards to cap the scoring.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to play the Eagles again. Donovan McNabb would’ve made a difference. But right now the Saints have the momentum.
Next week we shuffle off to Buffalo to get some wings and a win.
Corny. Get used to it.
