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?

... why! Jason David plays cover2 every down!!

... seriously, your average NFL CB is only as good as the pass rush. Other than Rex Grossman, when any NFL QB gets 5 seconds in the pocket, it don't matter what defense you run.

I;m still baffled at the David signing. What is it that the coaching staff saw in this guy is beyond me. Every pass play he lets the receiver go by and looks at the QB. Every single pass play. So, he gets beaten every single pass play.

So, to summarize, no pass rush+ the CB version of David Terrell=everybody scores on the Saints.

But again, I'll point out, that up to half way the 3rd quater of the second game of the season, the defense had outscored the offense 7-3.

...It's a thing of beauty...

... special teams miss field goals.
... the defense can't stop anyone.
... the offense can't score.

..."would that be paper of plastic, Sir?"
Paper thank you. I'd suffocate with plastic.
