Saints Fans pessimism and negativity

saintz08 · 01-17-2004, 05:32 PM

What causes my pessimism and negativity?
I have a tendency toward pessimism and negativity because I:

I would like a top 5 defense in New Orleans , now when I look at the top 5 defenses of the season I see :

1. Dallas
2. Buffalo
3. Baltimore
4. Denver
5. Tampa

Now for some strange reason , on everyone of those top 5 defenses the leading tackler is a linebacker .

The Saints top tackler is Jay Bellamy , a safety .

Now it is clearly apparent that the linebacking core is underachiveing for the stats of a top 5 defense , so which coach does Haslett cut in his great wisdom ??

The lineman coach Sam Clancy ... :casstet: ... The unit with the rookie starter and the Haslett deemed cancerous players on it .

Gee I feel better about that , don't you ??? ;)

Good point. Howard was out most of the year, you had a rookie starter, and got rid of Gravy midseason (after Hand in the offseason and Chase in camp). Didn\'t somebody else get hurt also? Yeah, b/c the LBs played great! Unreal.
