Our D Line sucked

homerj07 · 11-13-2011, 05:30 PM

Check the stats - Except for Ellis our D line was almost non-existent.

Harper was a beast with 10 tackles & the sack!!

Hell even Shanle had 7 tackles to go with his Int!!

...and they came up big when we needed them the most.

Did ya see my boy Scott " Silk Hands" Shanle today, in all actuality the turning point in the game. Great stop on 4th and inches by the D- line, on the other hand I still want to see sound tackling.

Harper plays well almost every Sunday. I could make the argument that Roman Harper has been the best player on the Saints defense this season. Who's played better?

Greer has played well this season but Harper brings more to the defense.

EXACTLY! Harper shows up EVERY week! 10-and-3 today is off the charts.
Harper saves our butts every week. Who do you think is making tackles when the front 7 misses?
Ellis finally had a descent day today, and everybody else disappeared.
Look back at the stats; NO two defensive lineman have had a good day on the same day.
Smith or Jordan, but never both. Rogers/Franklin/Johnson/Turk/Charleston have all been missing in action.
Johnson/Turk/Charleston have the low snap count excuse, the rest have no excuse.
Besides Harper, Dunbar, Vilma when he's healthy, there is no consistency.
We don't know what we will see from week to week.
We just keep hoping "enough" people show up to play ball each week, and play well enough to get us another win.
