I'm disappointed. That's time the coaching staff wasted instead of finding a way to make the defense better.

Drew Brees has taken every significant snap for this team the last 2 years. No backup in the world can do what he does. Everyone keeps crapping on Martin. But the last time he was in for significant minutes (for the Rams like 3 years ago) the guy went something like 5-1.

We already have a young QB on the roster. One that actually has a year of experience on the practice squad.

So again if the staff isn't evaluating DT, LB, CB, or S, then they are just wasting everyone's time.

Sigh.

Relax my brother in the ATL... There's not much to talk about until we sign some FA's. And until then they're just trying to make some headlines...

Even if there is nothing to talk about, we should be talking about defense. The staff should be working on defense. The fans should be thinking about defense.

Every day in this forum there's some thread about some need on offense. We need a tight end, or a #2 receiver, or a backup QB, or yet another RB. You'd think that the offense stank up the joint in 2007.

The stats do not bear that out. The offense from 2006 to 2007 scored 34 less points (2.1 pts less per game) 4 less TDs, same number of turnovers.

The defense? Sheesh. In 2006 they were already giving up 20 points a game. This year they gave up 64 points more (4 PPG). They had 6 less turnovers than in 2006. 54 plays of 20 yards or more? Are you kidding me! They gave up 32 TD passes! That's 2 per game.

The defense was awful! AWFUL!

So even the idlest of idle Saints fans minds should be working on fixing the defense. And only the defense.

The only thing the offense needs to work on is cutting down on the turnovers. And frankly there's only one guy that can do that: Drew Brees. Dude threw 18 picks. The offense needs to cut that in half. But he's the only one that can do it.

I've changed my signature for the offseason. I want everyone in Saints Land thinking about defense. A free agent period focused on defense. A draft on defense. An entire organization with a sole defensive goal in mind.

The offense we have right now can win the SuperBowl with no changes. None.

It's the defense that's the problem. Everyone should be focused on fixing it.
