METAIRIE — Darren Sharper started it and Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter are following suit. Sharper, the Saints free safety, has been the team and NFL pace-setter when it comes to interceptions and interception returns this season. He intercepted two passes in the season opener against Detroit and has grabbed five more, returning three for touchdowns.
Saints coach Sean Payton stopped short Thursday of saying he’s concerned with 44-year-old kicker John Carney. To be sure, this has not been the best of years for Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme. First, there was that turnover-filled meltdown against the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Divisional Playoffs in January. METAIRIE — When the New Orleans Saints meet the Carolina Panthers in the Superdome on Sunday, the Saints will have to reverse a disturbing trend in order to remain unbeaten. METAIRIE — After seven weeks of the 2009 NFL season, it’s business as usual for New Orleans Saints tight end David Thomas. No one has to tell the New Orleans Saints what turnovers can do to a team. Better yet, no one has to tell them how a giveaway here or there — or three or four — can directly affect the outcome of a game. NEW ORLEANS — For the second week in a row, the undefeated New Orleans Saints got a real scare. For the second straight week, they survived. NEW ORLEANS — It seems the only thing that can stop the New Orleans Saints from scoring is the arrival of the third quarter. Upon returning home last Sunday night after an exhilarating 46-34 victory against the Miami Dolphins, it took members of the New Orleans Saints up to 90 minutes to get out onto the highway after their chartered flight landed. |
