All we need for a great defense is 2 strong young bulls at DT. And the Saints pick in the 3rd round of the 2012 draft is, get this " Mister Cobbles" great name. I would love to get this guy. Linebackers are in place but a new DC might bring one in that fits his scheme, I also think Vilma want be here next year. More thoughts later.

Just noticed, our defense has only let up more than 20 points twice in the last 6 games, and in those 2 (Giants and Vikes) the game was 42-17 and 42-13 (respectively) before they got to 20 points.

Sorry to say, but last 6 games- D isn't giving up a a lot of points. I think this is an extremely valid point to consider.

Just got a chubby :)

You can say anything you want about Jack Del Rio, but his defenses have always played tough, solid football, and have been consistent. Even this year, when the Jags were pathetic, the Jag D was ranked 6th in total yards.
If he can field a 16th ranked defense in NO...

Sure Rams, let's talk Gregg Williams. Let's begin with your first and second round draft picks and go from there.

How are we going to get draft picks for GW?

His contract expires this year.

#1 CB - Robinson
#1 FS - Jenkins
#1 DT - Ellis
#1 DE - Smith
#1 DE - Jordan
#2 SS - Harper
#2 CB - Porter
FA ML - Vilma
FA CB - Greer

Err... shouldn't the defense be better? You can't say that they didn't spend enough picks on defense.

Del Rio returns home? hmmmmm i like GW but it would be interesting.

Del Rio was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the 3rd round of the 1985 NFL Draft. His 11-year career was spent between the Saints (1985–1986). he got traded to KC. a trade i hated at the time.

For those of you old enough do remember his claim to fame in KC?

During the strike year he body slammed the player union rep at arrowhead stadium. the bad part he was caught by the media and made most of the front page of every sports page in America.

New Orleans Saints (strength and conditioning coach, 1997–1998)

No its not. The main thing with Williams D is about getting pressure on the QB with hits and hurries.
