Hagan,

I can't see the defensive side of your equation. Every time I see the Saints defense all I see is poor scheme, poor technique, and poor personnel choices. It's obvious to everyone except the Saints coaching staff that:

1) David, Simineaux,. Shanlee, and Bullucks are awful.

2) The Saints secondary cannot cover a rock, much less NFL WRs.

3) The lack of pressure makes NFL jouneymen (and insurance salesmen) elevate to the likes of Montana, Elway, Farve, and Manning.

4) The defense cannot get off the field, get a turnover, stop a 3rd down ever, or stop the big play.

Everytime the defense trotted out on the field this season, I cringed. They never got better, never adjusted, never pressured, nothing.

So explain it to me.

We have learned that our WR are not as deep as we thought. So the Meachem pick makes more sense. RB is deeper than we thought and keeping PT was the right move. So all the moves did work but some are clear as day. Sean in his sophomore season has learned a lot. I doubt Drew will be going for the passing record again next year. Colston will have help at WR. Our secondary will be addressed and YOUNG WILL NOT BE THE LONE YOUNG CB ON THE ROSTER. So on and so on. I have faith in things changing again and once again all in the right direction. FORWARD
I don't see it on the defensive side. The defense needs to be blown up and rebuilt from scratch. The Saints need to spend every dime, every pick, every free agent meeting, every coaching change, EVERYTHING on defense this offseason. Fire Gibbs and get someone in here that understands pressure. Get staff in here that can evaluate defensive talent. Spend the money on big time talent.

Do it differently because the defensive product on the field now isn't working.
