Good List !

we're already overpaying for grant, why not overpay for smith?

I know Grants contract looks big now but with the increasing yearly cap he will be an upper mid value DE. It will balance out. give it time.

Im not saying im not a grant fan, cuz i am, but will is the better of the two and i dont see why we wouldnt give smith the money when we did it for grant.

Gary Gibbs is like kryptonite to the Saints defense. We play too much man to man. Those guys have the potential except Shanle, Simeoneau and Jason David they just suck. Its like they have a leash on Will Smith. We need a DC who lives, breathe, drink, defensive plays.

Actually, is more like Will Smith got handled by every single LT he faced. Same goes for Grant on the other side.

I agree we are too soft.....way, way too soft

Wow...how quick the tables have turned. I am not a big fan of the defense either but you are already prepared to fire Gibbs? The idea of bringing in 3 rookie LB's to solve our problems is ridiculous. Gibbs has a style of defense that works, he just needs the right players...we need a big run stopper at DT...we need a LB who has the speed to cover a TE and to blitz...and we need a CB to lock up and win sometimes and a Safety who knows his assignments...thats not alot to ask for...most teams have that, we dont.

and our DT is Brian Young...not Bryant Young...your post became irrelevant to me when you messed that up.

Gibbs is working with a short deck gang. He has been given what to work with? Not much. A couple of starters and a handful of very good back players to start. Heck I wonder how much input he has really had so far. I bet he is the most frustrated coach on the staff after the draft and all the FA are signed. Give this guy a chance to get his style of players in here first. The offense has been the #1 priotity for the saints and the defense has been an after thought. After 2 years now we have a solid offensive club that is so close to being finished, I say get it done now. There is no way we can keep signing and drafting so many offensive players each year. There is just not enough room for high draft choices and big ticket FA. The defense has the room to grow.
