I Love It When a Plan Comes Together

Pound Deuce McAllister between the tackles 26 times for 136 yards. Sprint Reggie Bush around the ends for 168 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns. Allow Drew Brees to relax into an efficient passing groove. Limit one of the league's top rushers, Frank Gore, to 40 ground yards and no touchdowns. Force an opposing quarterback into ill-advised throws, two of which are picked off by cornerback Mike McKenzie. Kick long and accurately, rack up return yards, and eat clock like popcorn shrimp in a runaway 34-10 victory against the San Francisco 49ers. It might be difficult for the New Orleans Saints to best the Dallas Cowboys this coming Sunday short the injured WR Joe Horn and the suspended DT Hollis Thomas, but best believe that all hired hands available will be gunning for that damned blue star.
