You know what they are going to do run the damn ball at the DE's and OLB's. of ours. We have no balls on D. Come one their only weapon was Jackson and we couldn't stop him. Yeah blame it on the coaching sure but there is no Steven Jackson on our D. No one is manning up.

I am looking at the big picture here and sure I'll cut the O some slack for having a bad game but that takes away from what the rams did and they played great D and deserved the win. They took it to us and got us when our hands were down.

It look like the Saints came out to run the score up on a team that said... oh no we aren't having that.

I hear what you saying about the D. They didn't lose this one for us. Bottom line.
Someone on the coaching staff needs to go. The D has no discipline, they cant tackle, they take bad angles and they cant catch squat. If we have to rely on our D to win us games, we are screwed.
