Re-Focused – Saints @ Falcons, Week 10

A shining beacon for any offense to target

...the Saints managed to field a trio that put in terrible performances. Jonathan Casillas (-3.7) was the highest graded Saints linebacker this week, getting the only positive grade for any facet of the game with a marginal +0.3 grade for his run defense. The trio of Casillas, JoLonn Dunbar (-4.9) and Scott Shanle (-6.3) managed to find the imperfect blend of looking completely lost, taking poor angles and terrible tackling to achieve the holy trinity of poor linebacking play. Their comical defense of Jason Snelling’s touchdown reception at 5:18 in the third quarter was just the tip of the iceberg of their awful display.

I still don't know why some thought Shanle had a good day. Other than the pick that fell in his lap (he would have given up a big gainer if Roddy doesn't drop it) he had a typical Shanle day.
