Trust in Spags?

Barry from MS · 09-09-2012, 08:52 PM

We've been blessed with this "not completely terrible" D now, so we can't ask too much considering the amount of points we put up per week with our O. We have gobs of talent on the D which can't tackle or apparently play within a system too well (note to self: redefine what "gobs of talent" actually means later).

Just as long as our D holds the other team to a number lower than the number we have will do for now at the immediate future. We'll need patience with the current D system, though I still really only trust Joe Pesci.

was about to post the exact same thing, "one game does not a season make," but, you beat me to it.

ok....how about...

Rome wasnt built in a day.

Give Spag sometime. I trust our defense will get better in his system.

I mean, its not like there was a lack of pressure. There was a poop-ton of pressure. Our d-line was in the backfield almost every pass play. How many times did you see Griffin get drilled right after he threw it? Ill tell you...a lot! Face it, Griffin was just a tough guy to bring down. He got rid of when he needed to, or if he didnt have a reciever, he got away from would-be tacklers.

Scary thing is; Cam is the same way... Offense needs to bring it next week, because the defense will have their hands full yet again...

In the age of the salary cap, you pick your poison; and as unpopular as this is to post, we are not getting return for slotted salaries at DE, DT, and SS and FS...

Trust in Kromer?

Gotta wonder if preparing the Offensive Line was affected? Personnel alone, I don't like what we have at OT, left or right and that's on front office...

Yep, I'm gonna give everyone more time there, but do wanna say this. There was more than enough suckage to go around , but in spite of that we still almost pulled it off. For me the bottom line was that we were flat out out coached. Haslett knew just about exactly what we were gonna do on offense and Shanahan had us in the cross hairs as far as our defense. It's step up time for everyone. I hope this game was the wake up call it needs to be.

Yeah it looked like Kromer had his hands too full to handle his basic job duty...the O-Line!!

Spags will build us into a strong defense. Don't worry about that. It might take a few years, but, it will happen.

You know they said that his d always starts slow. This was his third time he had been dropped a 40-burger on starting a new d. So he starts off slow, ok i will give him that but. damn man, we really don't have a few years to wait.
Our window is only open for a few more years, then its a totally rebuild all over again. Brees will not be our guy for that much longer, we need so so much more help. We have to fix this and now ..........

The good thing is, with the offense they have, the Saints don't need a top 5 defense. Above average could still win a Super Bowl. I like the thought of a dominate defense within a few years though.
