lol your one of those guys that says...."oh yea.....find me an example" then when i do....."oh yea well i bet you cant find another one" lmao
you responded to me solely because you believe im obsessed with terrence cody.....im not.....im obsessed with the thought of stopping the run right now....cody fit the bill.....so did a lot of other DTs
To answer your ?. Another year under GW and his D scheme will have an impact. I beieve this is a major point you may be overlooking. You have to admit injuries last year hurt a great deal. The Saints started off in the top 10 in D I believe and then the injuries. Ellis was hurt and out, what 3 or 4 games?
sure and we went undefeated the first 13 weeks but didnt end up undefeated.....we didnt have a top run defense because we couldnt stop it.....now pass defense......yep, sharper, greer, porter, and harper.....they can play the pass when we know the other team is gonna pass the ball
however.....even early we gave up lots of yardage on the ground
We have added both Brown and Wilkerson at DE. Grant is gone. Both of these are IMPROVEMENTS.
alex brown....48 tackles....6 sacks
jimmy wilkerson.....46 tackles..6 sacks
charles grant.....44 tackles......6 sacks
upgrade? where?
I think the current vets at DT can make it happen.
they didnt last year.....the only DT we lost was clancy and hes not even on the roster now.....so whos the big bad DT thats gonna step up?
Add Woods to the mix and I think both the DLC and Williams will kick his butt in shape or to the curb! My bet...in shape!
i love the optimism......not opposed to it......but the last late round DT we picked up.....pressley....is pretty worthless....maybe we overexaggerate the success of our coaching staff and front office in the late rounds? and again.....no success in the later rounds on defense yet
Lastly, I am not sure Loomis and Payton are finished at DT. Cuts are coming and 1 year contracts are in vogue right now.
sure.....lets talk about the future.....lets talk about bringing in another DT from cuts to compete with the other 7 guys plus the UDFAs we brought in
who are we going to bring in that isnt good enough to make another teams roster that will stop the run for us?
Now I am waiting for you evidence.
Let the rant continue.
what evidence? and the rant you keep talking about? not really a rant....you keep responding....so i further prove my point....then you respond again....and i make my point even clearer
