Our Defense
 

These guys flat out come to play every week, it was great to have Greer back and it showed with the pick 6. We can do a little bit better at stopping the run, but our run D is miles ahead of what they were last year.
I like the aggressiveness that GW is dialing up, we seem to get consistent pressure on the QB, and I've said it once and I'll keep saying it, as long as Sharper is in the secondary - turnovers are created, he made a great hit on Stewart to force the fumble, gotta love how our D is playing right now!
You guys agree?

i completely agree....

canton, where ya't? :P

Absolutely. I've been saying our D looks good. We play hard. I want to know about Sharper's Hammy. And Jenkins. I didn't see him return, but it didn't look too serious.

Pretty much agree.

A healthy defense primes us for a playoff run.

Give credit where credit is due. Sharper makes the defense better. How many more INT's, fumble recoveries and TD's did he have last season??? And how many do we have this season before he returned - and after...???

And you can't call it a "cheap blind side hit" anyway - Stewart wasn't even on the ground. That was a head's up play to lay the wood when he needed to.

You call it "cheap", I call it "opportunistic". :bng:

Oh PUH-LEEEZ Nancy... :rolleyes:

Go ahead and make your point now - You saying Sharper is overrated??? :brood:

Like I said......

Okay, show me where Sharper misses more open field tackles than any other FS.

And I don't think anyone here is anointing him MVP of the team... Shaper is an elite FS who does thrive in GW's system because he gets to play FS - something he didn't do in Minnesota.


IF you wanna knock a player down a notch, let's look somewhere else.

Bottom line: Williams can do more WITH Sharper in than WITHOUT.

The defense played well. I still don't like the missed tackles by any of these guys. The defense has carried us all year, and we are lookiing a lot better as our starters begin to return. The offense will look more crisp also when Bush and PT get back. Get some rest this week, let some more ailments heal, and then lets go on a 7-game run.

Is he watching the Browns, just kidding. Second year under Gregg Williams

HAHAHAHAHA Strato!!!!!!!

I'll take my chances with Sharper. He does "thrive" under GW and quite possibly only has a couple more years left at best. Stop hating on Sharper. I LOVE all dem boys! Because with all of the Saints, we remain the WORLD CHAMPIONS. Oh and by the way, I was there. Mr. Magic, you didn't see him back there away from the camera eye. The excitement he exudes, makes me wanna run out there with him!:fanclub:
NASTY.

Thing is, the other people that have played in his absence haven't benefited as well as he has. The man is a playmaker's playmaker. Period. Being in the right place at the right time is not an accident or luck. It's pretty clear to me that we are a better defense when he is on the field. I don't have to look too far beyond that.

I read about a page of that crap, got stupider and had to stop. There has to be something in the Magna Carta or Geneva convention or something that ban people from being that stupid.

:rolleyes: Oh, here you go, again...

A. Sharper lead with his shoulder, not his helmet. There was helmet to helmet contact, but Sharper's head was up and looking at his target.

B. Stewart was the friggin ball-carrier for crying out loud!! Not like he was "defenseless". Sharper was aiming to jar the ball loose - you know, something all players do...

C. Stewart wasn't down. No knee, no elbow, nothing. If you remember the call was reversed to a fumble.


!

What a load of horse manure.


He has missed a few, NOT a lot.

A lot is two words, not one.

I don't mean to sound offensive to you in any way mr magic, but seriously you call sharper the guy that "cleans up after people make plays", Sharpers hit caused that fumble, porter and vilma wrapped up and sharper forced the ball loose. Stewart was not defenseless, AND you are taught on defense to never let extra yards, stewart was going to fall forward and every NFL defense will gang tackle a player to stop him gaining more yards, sharper just has enought wits about him to not lead with the head, except with the shoulder and put a great hit on.
Do you think Sharpers hit of Faulk vs Patriots last year was dirty? because that was the best hit i've seen in a while, c'mon dude our D is playing lights out, sure the whole D deserves a lot of credit especially D line and LB, but the truth is, when sharper is in there great things happen.

So....Care to respond to any of the facts that have been presented in opposition to your "arguments"? Or will you just keep on throwing out wild, baseless, accusations?

Maybe you should stick to funny pictures of cats and leave the debates to the big boys.

Not 'smack talk', just a :goodidea:

Well, if there's one person who would recognize a load of horse manure...

The cat pictures, talking about foreverfan and he posts the cats...

I even forgot what ya'll we're arguing about :)

Which - again - has nothing to do with your comments regarding Sharper in this post. Let's let this one die Magic... I'm tired of coming back, hoping to find a decent response that makes me re-think my position.

C'mon man!!!! It's almost funny that Jenkins didn't get lucky. Huh?:cool: Sharper is the man and he has picture perfect tackling. He delivers legal bone jarring hits. The man can play some football.:bng:
