How many games would Seattle or SF have won with out the D? Carolina?

Some where between 2009 and 2013 some Saints fans have come to some very unrealistic expectations.
What I'm getting at is, our D was the only thing that actually saved us from being average or below average this season, and with that our O is really no better with what we have now than 2012 with a Spags D maybe worse, average at best, no matter what the stats say. Seattle, San. Fran and Carolina is built for their D, we are built for a high potency O big difference.

Re: Scouting breakdown: Saints offense

I think he's wrong when he says the Oline can't be upgraded. No we're not as bad as Atlanta but, Drew took more sacks and more pressures than any other time that he has been with the Saints. And I still say if the Oline is fixed, it will fix a lot of other things on the offensive side of the ball. Maybe not everything, but most of it. Look how much better the line got when the Saints switched from Brown to Armstead. It wouldn't hurt to have an upgrade at C and RT tackle.

There are two ways to look at what he said and in the context of what he said he is correct. Of course you could upgrade a C and T....

Can you upgrade with in the cap, meaning get more for less?

Come on man.... Thats a fairly myopic view considering our offense is what kept us from being mediocre for the last how many seasons?

Average offense at best? absurd.

I love it when people want to ignore stats... What else is there... jersey color? I can run it that way if you like.

There is very little difference in the design between N.O. and Seattle. I would argue that putting Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice and Marshawn Lynch on the same offense at their cap figures is focusing on being an offensive powerhouse.

Now SF pours nearly all of its money into Defense with the exception of V. Davis.

If you want to see where a team is focusing on when it is being built just look at the position their biggest cap hit is at. It is evidence of what position they value the most.

We had some bad luck and difficult injuries this season... Now fans want to blow up the offense and try to be someone else.

Yes. Can draft a C and Saints already have 3 Tackles(excluding Armstead) on the roster.

So you are not upgrading at Tackle (you already have it), and drafting a Center means you are getting a new Center but have no clue whether it is an upgrade? That is hardly more for less.

How is using the same 4 Tackles you had for 2013 for 2014 an upgrade?

Didn't know Armstead was a upgrade until the Saints put him in. He was already on the roster.

The article came out yesterday. Armstead being an upgrade has been known for a month.

First statement I agree with our O has been good for several years, the last 2 in my opionion are in question.
Average O at best, yes, reasoning- not really evolving. If you look at (The greatest show on Turf) their played well for a few years and have done nothing since. A good example of evolving is New England sure they have a turnover rate as any team does but overall are in the hunt more than not, and in my opinion if we don't evolve with the changes of the game we will be the Rams and not New England. For me I like being in the hunt, year in and year out since Payton got here with Brees but there is a window and if the O gets stale there needs to be a change not drastic but a few moving pieces.
