Saints Linebackers
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I think the problem is drafting more than it is coaching. Every FA LB we signed comes here and plays about the same as they did with their other team (Lofton, Hawthorne, Vilma, Haralson, Shanle). Every LB that left here ...

Re: Saints Linebackers
JR and Jordan are the only ones getting pressure. Our biggest problem on D this year comes from the DT/NT position. No push is being generated in the middle, Hicks has been complete **** this year and everyone else is worse than him at rushing the QB. If you pay attention you can see a rotation of DTs through the game on passing downs, this is because none of them are getting it done.
Hicks is my most disappointing player for the year right now. Bunkley has never been a pass rusher. I am afraid we don't have an in house solution to this problem. Imagine how well our D would be doing with Suh or McCoy in the middle pushing the pocket and setting up Cam/JR... Seriously watch the game tape... no push in the middle and the QB can step up freely 90% of the time. |

Who did Payton put in charge during the 2012 season? Vitt... lol lol lol We all know Vitt is not capable of being anything more than a tit sucker. RR should have been free to bring his own guys in. |

But it was there effort and assignments (covering not just RBs, TEs, but WRs) and speed that was most impressive... |

Re: Saints Linebackers
sorry everyone yells about players and assistance coaches but why in the world does everyone leave the one person who is truly responsible for this mess. The staff and players are the responsibility of one person ROB RYAN
Why does every one leave ROB out of this topic. Love drinking with the guy? his defense has not done anything since the bye week of last year. get some guts and go after the person you should be head hunting for. |
