I'll take it. Maybe some of the Rob "The Dude" Ryan hate is settling down now???

Re: Saints have 4th ranked defense.
 

Talk to me after we finish this stretch against three currently undefeated teams. Crowing about beating up on the crippled is undignified.

Re: Saints have 4th ranked defense.
 

I'm just glad we are actually arguing about if the D is as good as 4th or not.

Re: Saints have 4th ranked defense.
 

I Happy about that.

Re: Saints have 4th ranked defense.
 

BS! I we beat the Falcons tomorrow after lunch you would exult. :)

Re: Saints have 4th ranked defense.
 

Not to rain on everyone's parade, but we've not faced good offensive lines...yet...

But, compared to last year...WOW, are we so much better off...

Re: Saints have 4th ranked defense.
 

Who are the good offensive lines?

Re: Saints have 4th ranked defense.
 

it is not so much hate of Roy Boy as much as hate for the anointing of him as a the savior of our defense.

The talent was here and the attacking Williams mentality was ingrained into the players.

"The Dude" was given an almost full deck right out of the gate.

Fing Spag Ball just did not fit the players talent and coaching.

Just keeping it all perspective ;)

Not ours :brood: but Seattle will be the biggest test in the NFC

Re: Saints have 4th ranked defense.
 

I am more concerned with Seattle's Defense than their offense much less the line in particular. Since everyone is judging our offensive line off of Drew's sacks.

Seattle O-Line
8 sacks
15 QB Hits

Saints O-Line
10 Sacks
14 QB hits

Beast Mode is all I am worried about... Maybe Rice and Baldwin.

Seattle has just as many sacks as we have but they are stopping the run and pass better. They have played Carolina, Jacksonville, and San Fran... Big whoop. Not necessarily offensive juggernauts.
