The back end is going to continue to struggle because the front 7 aren't doing sh!t. Until we get the front 7 fixed, we are going to continue to struggle.

Good thing we are paying Cam Jordan 12 mil a year!

I have nothing against Byrd personally, but from what I've seen on the field he has a great future as a matador.

The D line exposes our secondary for too long when protection is good and no penetration any defense will likely to break down.

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!

Byrd s never there over the top to help out
Receiverscan turn him around - totally misses the angle for an open field tackle

Bell had a poor start but he needs to jump in and get experience

I'll agree that the front 7 is the real problem on D, Byrd is absolutely trash, he may be one of the worst FA signings ever. If they cut him tomorrow we would be a better team.

I'm sure he was talking about a lot of people. Byrd isn't the only one who isn't contributing squat. But he's the highest paid, and seems to be the one who tries the least. He ALWAYS over runs the ball carrier whenever they break into the secondary. That burns me more than anything. It's bad enough to get blown by in coverage, but tackling is a basic thing that is all about effort. He doesn't seem to give a crap about it.

This guy was an all pro before he got here. I know it isn't because he CAN'T. He just won't. I can't even begin to imagine why.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

The Saints Personnel Decision Makers have got to continue to address the front seven, especially since they blew up the 3-4 plans and went 4-3 with Dennis Allen...

We need two starting defensive ends, with one of those spelling Cam Jordan who's been virtually ineffective the past couple of seasons, only getting his sacks in bunches against backup linemen...

With Fairley trending upward, we've got a good start on the interior with Rankins (healthy), Fairley, Onyemata and Davison; but the edge defenders are just not getting it done; Now Onyemata was supposedly going to get looks on the edge, but haven't seen that yet...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

So many big plays that have been given up that could have been contained are direct results of Byrd being out of position.
It has to be embarrassing for the defensive players (who care) to constantly see a top offense and bottom dweller defense. Doesn't take a genius to figure out how we are not competing for a post season spot.
