Red Beans and Rice are so good with a win.

As if I need to mention that the Saints defense, yes that was the New Orleans Saints, came up huge stopping "the incovenient truth" Frank Gore. So, this brings the question. This is a critical week for our beloved Saints as they prepare for the hottest team in the NFC, da' Cowgirls, on national television Sunday night. Who will be the next one to have thier name in the spotlight? Peyton?

This past weekend, I was astonished by the play of Charles Grant as he rose to the challenge by playing without Will Smith and still dominating the line of scrimmage. I know that many people have made comments on forums and websites that Grant isn't as special as Will Smith, but I beg to differ. He is a formidable defensive end that not only has 52 total tackles and 6 sacks but 4 forced fumbles. This ranks him 6th in the league amongst DE; ahead of Julius Peppers going into Monday Night's game. So what's going to happen at the end of this season with Grant. Will he be franchised tagged or resigned for more money or traded??? I think this is one player that the Saints need to keep for multiple reasons.

1. He's a contributor and plays every week.
2. He makes others around him better by taking double teams, i.e. Hollis Thomas, Will Smith, Willie Whitehead.
3. Always positive. Wants to win badly. Remember he's the one who called Aaron Brooks out on the plane as a quiter. He just said what we'll all had been thinking. You've got to like that about him.
4. He's part of New Orleans. Grant can be seen driving around town in a regular 4 door sedan, cashing checks at local bank, or shooting the breeze with fans at a Hornets game.

So let's do the right thing and resign him for atleast the next 3-4 years and make him a staple to our defense. BTW does anyone else get confused when Hollis Thomas tackles someone for a loss and think that it's the ghost of Jim Wilks out there playing in his body. Love that guy. It was great to see McKenzie get his due with those big interceptions. He's been the only one of the Saints cornerbacks for the past several years that can play man to man. I know he struggles some games, but he's no Fred "Whiplash" Thomas. Plus, for many years the Saints haven't had the pass rush they have had this year which makes a big difference.

Also, the black on black uniforms were slick. Mrs. Unaveritas thought they were silly and they looked like dancer tights. I on the other hand thought it made us look faster and bad ass. Don't need them every weekend though it would be nice for them to break them out for big games like Notre Dame with the green jerseys. As for uniforms I would love to see Peyton in a suit for Sunday night's game. Just a suggestion for da' coach of the year.
