First Pre-Season Game Impressions

The Saints first team came out in old form. The good with the bad. Drew Brees was very impressive throwing a nice TD pass in the opening drive. The Cardinals was putting some pressure on Brees, but it didn't shake him. He was still on target. The downside of being in "old form" is that the run game was still lacking. Reggie Bush had 2 very good runs that were called back on penalties, but besides that the O-Line looks the same as last year. They can not run block.
The defense had a good first series and they seemed to have a better pass rush. Other than that, the secondary is still below average. They made Leinart look like an All-Pro.
This is only the first pre-season game and a few key players were missing so I won't get worried yet. My biggest concern is the O-Line. I can't wait to see McAllister run the football!
