Diehards Line:With a highly-publicized trade for Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey currently on ice, the Saints apparently are going with the players they've got on the roster -- a group led by Johnson, Billy Miller and Mark Campbell. Johnson caught 48 passes for 378 yards and two touchdowns last season but lacked consistency at times and missed two games with a groin injury. Miller grabbed 27 passes for 328 yards and two scores and seemed to gain more confidence as the season progressed.
