Defense Scheme ?

Sorry if the question has been asked before (I looked but I can't find it)

I am just wondering if anyone has any input to why the Saints (with current personnel) wouldn't consider trying a Cover 2 shell defense?

In my observations it appears that our corners/safeties are in man for the most part and is getting torched. Our d-line/linebacker corps aren't getting any pressure on opposing qb's, giving excessive time to pick us apart. Cover 2 shells usually subscribe to the "bend-but-don't-break" philosophy, if we can slow receivers down and keep them in front of our db's we could at least make some tackles.

Right?
