That was one GREAT post. And it\'s what I\'ve been trying to say. How anyone can think that getting a couple of shut-down corners is going to magically solve are problems is misguided, IMO.

A couple of points you make are very good and I feel EXACTLY the same way.

Personally I think that the breakdown is in the defensive coaching scheme. Venturi seems to be afraid of giving up the big play.

I could not agree more.

The way I see if the Saints defense needs to Keep It Simple: Stop the rush then blitz the pass all game long.
The problem I saw with the ineffective rush defense is that it set up 2nd and 3rd and short yardage all the time. That\'s prime winning down and distance for opposing offenses, especially an offense that has had success rushing and passing the ball during the course of the game. So the defensive scheme has to be set up to stop the run game.

Now, that\'s exactly the way I see it. That\'s the only way you can look at it.

SaintFanInATLHELL - Great post. Keep \'em coming :thumbup:
