Our Defense Was God Awful Today - WTF 41 pts allowed?

The Saints defense was Dallas Cowboys esque.

Damn, we looked really bad yesterday, but there's no need in going that low!

Sharper is done. Harper can't even cover a tight-end. They've done well for us but we need some youth back there to upgrade that piece of the puzzle.

Sharper has suffered this year. Harper improved but was asked to do more than he could today. Youth is needed, but Jenkins is the answer. Usama and Torrence are on the outside looking in next year.

Youth is not Harper's problem - he's 28 and was drafted in 2006. the problem was his thick neck was preventing proper blood flow to his friggin brain today.

Sharper is still not 100% healthy from is knee surgery so I might give him another chance in training camp. We had some questionable play calling yesterday on both sides of the ball. The TD by Stokley we had a LB trying to cover him, what the hell was GW thinking. Stokley may not be a speed demon but he is faster than any LB on our team. Harper can't cover, we all know that. He was better this year than in the past but yesterday he reverted to Roman of the past couple years. We need DE's, DL and OLB's in a bad way. Will Smith couldn't handle a rookie with 2 bad ankles yesterday that's pretty sad.
