SANTA CLARA Patrick Willis and Lance Briggs side by side in the 49ers' linebacking corps? That combination seemed so likely last year that Briggs and Willis sat down together at the 2008 Pro Bowl to talk about the possibilities. "I thought it was a done deal," Briggs said Tuesday on a conference call. "I thought when the trade was offered, I didn't think I'd be back in a Chicago...
When the University of Miami program was floundering a couple years ago, one of thecomplaints -- as voiced by ex-Cane Jonathan Vilma at the time -- was that ``guys are notimproving year to year.'' That clearly has changed.
Falcons - Saints on Monday Night Football, need I say more? Offense Michael Turner was great. Matt Ryan had troubles – we know that. Let’s talk about their First Down performance, as comparison. We’ve been slightly critical of the play-calling here (first down, Turner up the middle; second down, Turner up the middle; third down, pass). Turner certainly did his part when he got the...

"And we can't lose sight of the fact that we're playing good opponents, giving us their A game. We've got to tip our hats to them."...
NEW ORLEANS | The Saints tied their best start to a season. Drew Brees had 308 yards passing, Pierre Thomas scored two touchdowns and Jabari Greer returned an interception for a score to help the Saints improve to 7-0 with a 35-27 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Only the 1991 Saints began a season with as many wins. Greer's touchdown was the Saints' fifth score on an interception...
Darren Sharper takes some good-natured ribbing from Saints teammates about his age (33) and his supposed declining ability. When asked about Sharper's three touchdowns on interception returns this season, Saints safety Roman Harper deadpanned, "It's taken a lot of blocking to get him there." Humor comes easily, and there's no question that Sharper, who signed a free-agent contract last winter,...
by John Bazemore - AP View full size photo uploaded October 28, 2009 Facing the Falcons on Monday night will present another challenge for the overwhelmingly successful story that is the New Orleans Saints defense this season. Believe it or not, though, I'm not that worried about Michael Turner , Roddy White or Matt Ryan. Why? Dolphins game aside, the Saints are actually very good against the run....
Lofa Tatupu will undergo surgery performed by Dr. James Andrew to repair a partially torn left pectoral muscle . This should end his season. Tatupu made some noise about returning, and he, like most athletes, would rather play without an arm than miss a snap, but the extent of the tear has narrowed that chance and maybe for the best. Ever since Frank Gore ran all over the 2006 Seahawks , Tatupu has...

NewOrleansSaints.com is proud to welcome a new addition to our staff in the form of veteran tight end Billy Miller. The 6-3, 252-pound Miller suffered an Achilles injury in the team’s final preseason game of the 2009 season against the Miami Dolphins and needed season-ending surgery to repair the injury. Miller, however, has offered to lend his unique perspective of news surrounding the Saints...
"The Sanchez hit was a perfect example of me putting the team before myself. I could have easily gotten up and gone over there and pushed him, or did something to react, and then, I’d get in trouble, get a penalty that would hurt the team. I had no idea he was gonna do it. "When he did it, I was ready to get up and sock him one, but I restrained myself. I saw the flags come out and...
Choices and Opportunities. Saints middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma had them both, aplenty. A season after being acquired by the Saints in a complicated trade with today’s opponent, the New York Jets, Vilma had the chance and opportunity to test the NFL’s free agent waters for the first time in his young career and build upon his carefully managed nest egg that got off to a rollicking start...
