It's not all on Jason David

It comes back to coaching. Considering the liability that David is at CB, the coaches should have the safeties trained to stay back in support at all costs. Every time he gets beat deep there is not a saftey in the area. So either the safties are not doing their job or the coaches are leaving David on an island to fend for himself. Either way, it's the coaches' fault.

I'm not disagreeing with you on Bullocks, but you cannot train the safeties to just drop back in support at any cost, because that cost is having the middle of the field open. That was my point about the safeties tackling WRs after the 73 yd TD. Because they are dropping back to support a guy who cannot cover my grandmother - and she's dead - the mid-range was opened to the TEs. I do understand the point about the FS supporting David, but he cannot possibly support him on EVERY pass play.

..and I will agree with you about the coaching. At one point, you got to realize 3rd Down can't handle it and find someone to replace him

You're right, you can't give saftey support on every play, but I have yet to see a saftey make a play on a single deep ball. These guys (Harper and Bullocks) have one int between them and honestly, I could have made that catch that Bullocks made. That ball probably would have been a intentional grounding call if it were incomplete, which begs the question, what was he doing there?

My main point is that regardless of how terrible Jason David is, there are two decent players in our entire defensive back 7. There's plenty of blame to go around. David's screw ups are highly visible - everyone sees that #42 fultilely running after the reciver, but Simoneau, for example, is tougher to evaluate because his screw ups are harder to see during a live broadcast.

"but Simoneau, for example, is tougher to evaluate because his screw ups are harder to see during a live broadcast."

Maybe for most, this is true but I see them, having played a bit of MLB. He does get trapped quite a bit and is caught in the melee a good bit. He's not a starter in my books either. But neither was I to some. I just stuck my nose where I thought it should be. I was slow by all descriptions But was rarely out of place. I wasn't afraid to place myself anywhere, hence the physical condition I'm in now. $ knee operations,9 bad discs. Any various aand sundry other things we won't go into. But Simomeau is the best we have right now. He's not great, but by the same token he ain't terrible either. I have seen worse with the Saints. Don't ask me to name them right now cause I can't. I just feel,he gave up one touchdown this week to a tightend, but David has given up a multitude of touchdowns this season.

And Simoneau isn’t Singletary, no question.
But it is not that 3rd Down’s mistakes are more visible, sure they are, but how often they come, and how devastating they are to any momentum the team can amass.

At least Simoneau is in the middle of the play; he may get pushed around, but at least he’s there. But every time you see that #42 running 10 yards behind a streaking Andre Johnson or Joey Galloway or Terry Holt or whoever happens to be on that side of the field for a long TD or a long 3rd down conversion, you ask yourself, who or what the hell was David covering?

… and I guess as long as I’m piling it on 3rd Down, I need to pile it on the coaching staff for allowing this to happen. Try Jason Craft, or Fred Thomas. Heck, try Lance Moore at CB. Can’t get any worst than it is now, that’s for sure…

Tobias you are dead on. I think when david was hurt our defense played much better. when you have a hole on that side at corner, like we do, it makes everything else open up. we are basically playing 10 on 11 ball, all game. wheres the kid?????? is he hurt still?

CheramieIII · 11-21-2007, 07:03 PM

Bullocks should have been the center fielder on that play but got suckered into a play action so bad his momma is still trying to get up from the stroke she had, but David should have had the coverage no doubt. 75% David, 25% Bullocks and if I see David jogging after another wide receiver who just beat him by 20 yards I'm gonna, well do nothing because I'm not Payvid (my new name for coach payton since he's joined at the hip with David) but if I were I would bench him early, soon and often, like right freaking now. Even if coach has faith in him no one else on the team does and that hurt's the team. Hell, David even know's he's screwing up every game and ain't doing a damn thing to change it, same ole same ole in the Big Easy folks.

Johnson should be fined a games pay for that crap. He gets paid good money to what? Oh yeah deflect balls so the other team can catch them, what a freaking loser.

We need a defensive coach and Gibbs isn't it, ever wonder why the Big Tuna was ok with let some of the coaches come on over, because he knew they were crap.

Coach better pull his head out quick. Thomas is a great athlete probably a better runner than Reggie from behind the line and we don't play him. Why Coach, Why? Because your stupid that's why or I guess we need to showcase Bush for the NFL and his sponsors. Are you getting a kickback for the crap.

Man it's the same ole crap in the Big Easy and we should all be mad as hell. Just when you think they're going to do it they freaking fold, Does anyone remember our first playoff game. When the hopes were so high, or the playoff game in New Orleans against the Vikings and we got beat 400 to 3 or something like that. We've all seen this crap before and we shouldn't be surprised but we should be mad as hell.

I'm gonna give coach the benefit of the doubt until the second game of next season then I'm taking the gloves off. He earned that much from last year, but coach get your head out dude and soon because it's going to get ugly if you don't pay attention/ I don't think you will last as long as Haslett did and once you get fired from New Orleans head coaching jobs are hard to find in the NFL.
