Re: Spags system will work but not yet(Warning lot of text).

The defense was awful in those first two games and this is saddening because I was optimistic about spags (and still am), but I've been used to awful defense for about 5 years now...

My biggest concerns are with the offense and drew brees, I know the stats are there, but I feel like our offense does not have the same flow and swagger that it had in years past. A drive where every play call sets up the next perfectly, every player executes like they've practiced all week. I know the pass protection has been a joke, but I remember drew beating pass rush with quick decision making and pin point accuracy to slow it down. I've always said the reason our sacks allowed are always so low is mainly because of drew brees. The recievers have to help him out also, way too many drops, Colston has been off, I don't know if he needs Peyton's stare to motivate him, but he looks older than randy moss out there. I kind of feel like I can go on but it's starting to depress me...

I blame all of these offensive woes on Goodell of course and have complete faith that drew and the boys will right this ship.

P.S. jimmy graham and Darren sproles have been beasts, I like the look in their eyes.

The dropped passes are killing us. Colston's fumble in the Skins game was cost us too. As bad as we've looked we're two or three plays away from being 2-0.

and I agree, Graham and Sproles have been money. PThomas, as always, is a hero. He's become one of all time favorite players.

Remember: Our offense has always been the reason teams have to change their game plan against us... We won 13 games last year in spite of our defense.
