"I Think You Pound the Football This Year!"
What?! Bold prediction from ex-Eagle Brian Baldinger, now Fox football analyst. Pointed out on NBC10's Sports Final last night that the Birds now have the two biggest guards in football in Sean Andrews and new draftee Max Jean-Gilles, and a big young center in Jamal Jackson.

Look for New Orleans to make Antwan Smith available: "He is an animal," says Baldinger. "I think they can become a better football team, and a more powerful football team." You're talking it snowing in hell, retorted host John Clark. "Coaches get smarter," Baldinger said.
