I'm going to start off by giving Venturi some credit. I think he has improved the defense. Especially when it comes to keeping them off the scoreboard. His defense has held opponents to 20 points or less in 10-games. He's also had to deal with a slew of injuries. Rick, you deserve some credit for the improvement. But..............


But, Rick, you are not aggressive enough. Your plan is to play the pass and make teams run the ball or dink and dunk the ball down the field. The problem with that is that teams are having too much success running the ball and eating huge chucks of time off the clock. It is also tiring the hell out of our defensive linemen. This approach also allows an offense to dictated to us what they want to do. I don't like that. I want a defense that is aggressive and get's after an offense. If they get beat, then I want it to be with the defense going 100mph. I'm tired of the read and react and all the other soft stuff.

Even though we don't have the most talent in the world on defense, I don't think we should be giving up that much yardage on the ground and I think it is a direct result of Rick's scheme. It's been that way for 3 years now. It doesn't matter who we have on defense, we still can't stop the run. Enough is enough. Rick there is a reason that you have been in the league 20-years and are just now a defensive coordinator -- You are just no good at it -- You would be better served to be demoted back to a position coach. You are in over your head Rick.

I wish you the best Rick, just not here in New Orleans. We have the makings of a great defensive line and I don't want you screwing that up Rick. See ya!!!
