If players from "systems" (Indy, Tampa, NE, etc...) are so successful in their team's system and almost immediately become mediocre when they go to other teams, is the Saints' "system" the wrong "system" for success? Should our defensive system change (from man to man) in order for the defense to be more successful??

Could our system work with better players? Maybe... but it can't be determined until we put better talent on the field. I wouldn't strictly say it's the wrong system to run because it worked well in Dallas when Gibbs was coaching there. If we don't intend to add quality talent defensively, I do believe we need to adjust our system to fit the players we have which we haven't done the past year.

YOU SIR ARE CORRECT!!!

But Gibbs isn't going to change his system. So we have to get better players in play in it.

That's what I've been saying the last two months.

Gibbs unwillingness to neither find players that fit his system or adjust his system to fit is players is the reason that I think he needs to go.
