Stopping Run is Prioirty not CB

Man, i love the forum. i live in the DC area now (Overload on Redskin b.s.) , so it is nice to keep up with the real news.

Just wanted to make a note. Most of y'all are upset about no CB in the draft and are *****ing about it. At first i was upset too and shocked at DE being taken first. But, i truly think they did the right thing IN THE SITUATION. For all those who know better, please tell me who you would have picked with the 18th pick when the 2 DB and LB's we wanted were gone?

Also, if you look at the stats (yds/game) from last year (check out NFL.com for example). You would see that we were 4th worst at run defense, . Our pass defense (over the whole season) was 8th overall. So I don't get the MUST GET CB OR ELSE mentality going on. Hell ya we need a good CB. Show me more than 4 teams that can say differently.

Being a Saints fan is like being in an abusive relationship. We're like the abused spouses, who every one tells to leave, but as much as we like to ***** about things, we're still here, taking the abuse. I truly feel Die Hard Saints fans (whether they are optimistic or pessimistic) deserve to be in the NFL hall of fame. ONE Playoff win in our history, and here we are debating CB's and if this is the year HAZ is canned or we make the Super Bowl. Amazing. We are either completely crazy...ok, we are. But if they win the Super Bowl one day before i die....OH how sweet that day will be.

Problem is, when you are used to losing (as fans or players) you start expecting to lose if things get hairy. THAT is what has to change for us all. I wish our team made it a little easier to have faith in that. But i remain a fan.
