Will the New Orleans Saints return to ’06 form?

http://www.thenewsstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080704/SPORTS/80703059/1006 Will the New Orleans Saints look more like the club that fall just one measly victory shy of playing in the Super Bowl in 2006? Or will they languish as the frustrating epitome of mediocrity, as they did in 2007? As training camp looms, you have to wonder. It has been said that 2006 was a fluke. That the Saints, no matter how talented, always have been and always will be a team that simply struggles on a regular basis. That they will continue to give their fan base fits with erratic play. But what if, in fact, 2007 was the fluke? What if the day Sean Payton was named the new head coach signaled a new era in New Orleans for a franchise that had only one playoff victory to its credit prior to the 2006 season? What if there is something to what is called the "sophomore slump?" Monroe news Star 7/4/08
