Harper is a SS, not a CB. You have an agenda. Every Harper mistake (and there are very few) you magnify, while ignoring the numerous mistakes everyone else makes on this defense. Its either an intentional effort to justify your weak criticisms or you simply don't know much about football. |

Re: Why Is the Defense So Bad?
I'll promise you this - if Steve Spagnuolo survives this season, Roman Harper won't be the starting strong safety and Malcolm Jenkins will either be at another position or probably gone as well...
And that's not to say it's on JUST the safeties... The Saints Pass Rush it a total embarrassment; as I said, old men at a church buffet have a better push than these millionaire, professional defensive linemen... And guessing who'll be the linebackers each week would be the basis of ESPN's version of "To Tell the Truth" where continuity among linebackers is almost as important as continuity along an offensive line... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Why Is the Defense So Bad?
A journeyman safety in one game has outperformed both our safeties' seasons...

Re: Why Is the Defense So Bad?
I don't really know why the defense sucks as bad as it does.
Spags' defense is either; it's just not working, too difficult for our players to pick up (Which means we have some dumb players) or that Spags simply isn't a good coach. It could be the fact that they are on the field waayyyy too much. 3 and outs/quick scoring drives by the offense/I don't know. If these guys are on the field more than the offense, they are going to get gased and will be totally burned out by the 3rd quarter. I think the coaching staff is putting too much on Drew and staying pass happy for the entire game. If you don't run the ball and control the clock some what; your chances of winning deminish. All I can tell you is, is after watching them I want to vomit. |

Re: Why Is the Defense So Bad?
IMO Harper has made some improvements this year. I have never been high on him but I have noticed he has gotten better. Jenkins on the other hand needs to be kicked to the curb! He has not gotten any better. He is in the top 5 in the NFL in missed tackles.
IMO if you wanna bash a safety, you are bashing the wrong one this year. |

Re: Why Is the Defense So Bad?
Lets be fair to all of the players... Who in the hell in our defensive backfield is worse or better than the others?
They all get burned, miss tackles, out of place, quit on plays.. There is no bright shiny star in the entire stable.... Which is why we are where we are. Are we debating who is the sh1ttiest of the sh1ty? |
