By Ray Glier - AOL NewsIt was an embarrassing moment for the New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith.

By John Oehser - AOL NewsJacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter may or may not get the Denver Broncos' head coaching job. But he did get a pretty impressive recommendation.

Williams pulled his name from consideration for the Broncos position Tuesday. "Dirk Koetter is a GREAT find on your part," Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post reported Williams saying in a text message to Broncos ...
Broncos Seek to Interview Gregg Williams for Their Head Coaching Job
By Ray Glier - AOL NewsThe Denver Broncos have requested to talk to Gregg Williams, the New Orleans defensive coordinator, about the Broncos head coaching job, Saints coach Sean Payton said Monday. Williams crafted an aggressive defense that helped carry the Saints to a championship in 2009. In 2010, the New Orleans made terrific improvements in run defense and helped steady the team, despite a number of injuries in the secondary. Williams' defense looked more balanced and solid this season compared to 2009. The run defense improved with the development of defensive linemen Sedrick Ellis and Remi Ayodele and the ...
Was Marshawn Lynch's Run Better Than DeSean Jackson's Punt Return?
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsOn Saturday, the scrappy Seattle Seahawks upset the New Orleans Saints thanks to a stunning touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch. (The game-winning performance couldn't have been fun to watch for the Buffalo Bills, who traded Lynch in October.) Lynch's knock-'em-down run brings to mind DeSean Jackson's "Miracle on the Meadowlands" punt return for a touchdown that sealed the Eagles' Dec. 19 victory over the New York Giants. So which run is better? Watch the videos, and weigh in in our comments section. Marshawn Lynch's Jan. 9 run in the Saints-Seahawks game: DeSean Jackson's punt return for ...
Marshawn Lynch Impresses Saints Even as He Knocks Them Out of Playoffs
By John Hickey - AOL NewsSEATTLE -- If they hadn't been playing the Seattle Seahawks, the New Orleans Saints might have had a greater appreciation for the 67-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run that pushed Lynch into NFL postseason lore Saturday. Running a play the Seahawks call "17 power,'' Lynch broke through the right side of the Saints defense with 4:20 left in the game, then treated the Saints defenders as his personal rag dolls, throwing them left and right as he exploded for a touchdown run that not only secured a 41-36 win for Seattle but will be on highlight films for years to come. Lynch broke a half dozen ...
Seahawks Not Only Unlikely Playoff Team, They Could Be Unlikely Winners
By Lisa Olson - AOL NewsSEATTLE – They hoisted a massive 12th Man flag atop the Space Needle here Friday, the Seattle mayor and the captain of The Wizard on the TV show "Deadliest Catch" playfully bantering like a couple of deck hands as they battled both a slight wind and reporters desperate for some sort of drama. Soon the flag was flapping, and the cameras caught everyone smiling, and then it was like, what next? The cafes were filled with locals sipping lattes and staring bleary-eyed at their iPads and down on the wharf you could tell by the pungent smell it was nearly closing time, and if you didn't know ...

Malcolm Jenkins, Jimmy Graham Out for Saints in Playoff Opener
By Ray Glier - AOL NewsTwo of the Saints younger stars, guys who made the biggest strides from the start of the season and helped New Orleans get back in the playoffs are out of Saturday's wild card game with Seattle. Tight end Jimmy Graham (ankle) and safety Malcolm Jenkins (knee) will not play. The Saints, one of the deepest teams in the NFL, have the depth to overcome the losses. Veteran Darren Sharper, who was a valuable contributor to the Saints run to the title in 2009 with his ball hawking in the secondary, will replace Jenkins. Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas missed last week's game with their own ...
Jeremy Shockey, David Thomas Return to Practice for New Orleans Saints
By Ray Glier - AOL NewsHow about that? A day without any bad news for the New Orleans Saints on the injury front. The Saints left for Seattle and Saturday's playoff game against the Seahawks without putting another player on Injured Reserve. On Tuesday it was running back Chris Ivory. On Wednesday, it was running back Pierre Thomas. There was even some good news. Rookie tight end Jimmy Graham, whose role has grown as the season progressed, is still hobbled by an ankle injury, but veteran tight ends Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas were full participants in practice on Thursday. "In the case of both David and ...
