Saints Nation: Curtis Lofton Could Transform Saints' Defense
Tackling, lack of pressure, poor run defense, spotty coverage... all things the Saints struggled with a year ago. There's pretty much no facet of the defense that I would have considered "strong" with regards to the 2011 Saints. They did do a good job of getting off the field on third down, and they did well to close out some games with big plays (at Tennessee and at Atlanta come to mind), but they never really excelled in any area at all. In fact, they were particularly poor in many.

Good article. Can't argue with it. It is what it is. I am looking forward to some improved lb'r play this year.

There is little doubt our LBing will be much improved this season. I also think the front 4 will get more sacks, and apply more pressure on opposing QBs, which should mean more takeaways for the D.
