When you play cover two and underneath coverage schemes, QB\'s have to have time and precision in order to exploit it. If you have a superior pass rush, and I believe that this Saints D-line + fast LBs can accomplish that, QBs won\'t get the time necessary to get the ball into the seams. So average to above average secondary with a hella pass rush can work. Look to the 2002 Bucs for the blueprint. SFIAH |

If we all agree that the strong point of our defense is the defensive line, and our greatest weakness is in the secondary, why are implementing a scheme that removes one lineman, one linebacker, and adds two more to the secondary?

Having more rushers on the field means there is a higher likelyhood for getting pressure on the QB, but it leaves the secondary vulnerable if they don\'t get there. There\'s always a risk/reward factor with any defense that is called. That\'s what seperates the good D-coaches from the GREAT D-coaches. IMO, we are not the type of defense that is going to \"man up\" with the receivers and rush a bunch of guys. Not on a consistent basis anyway. What we need to do is mix it up and keep offenses off balance. You really can\'t do that without a talented front 4. We have that. But, we might need to protect or CB\'s at times. If Craft or Fakir or Craver can step up, it would really allow us to pin our ears back and make life a living hell for opposing QB\'s. We\'ll see..... |

I am reminded of the comment...\"it\'s the SYSTEM stupid\"! No pass rush will only put additional pressure on our DB\'s, lack of LB coverage will only put additional pressure on DB\'s. The Saints do not have a PURE shut down corner...you guys can paint any picture you wish with WISHING and HOPING, but the fact remains we do not have such a corner.
How many PURE shut down corners can you name? Let us not use HYPE or MEDIA perspective...from your own eys, who is the best SHUT down corner? First, we have to define SHUT down corner. Only then can we agree on who...but you can rest assurred that it is not one of the our beloved Saints and on the current roster. I watched the game between the Broncos and Redskins and saw Champ have no-name players make significant catches in front of him...so please spare me his NAME. Law, has had the same...so again, spare me. |
Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over, over, and over again...and expecting a different outcome!

The corners played pretty good tonite, with the exception of the one bonehead interference call from Ambrose. I know\'s it\'s only preseason, but come on say they did better than you thought they would.
Would\'nt everyone agree? |

For those of you that may not know, the play nice kids was meant to keep things from getting out of hand. As some of you might remember it HAS happened. And like a wise man once said, the best offense, is a good defense. So play nice kids and you\'ll have no problem from me.

But, you don\'t have to worry about me getting out of control. I\'m an OAK. Now that B&B fella, that\'s a different story. He annoys me with his wit. :P I saw where you called me \"defense 101.\" I got something for ya, big boy... |
