Let's be real here folks.

A ten spot improvement in defensive rankings would be huge (and is probably untenable).

Yet that would still place 21 teams ahead.

Let's hold our homer horses and look at things objectively.
It is just preseason, but we are ranked 3rd in rushing defense, 6th against the pass, and 2nd(behind 49ers) in total defense. Not bad for the worse defense an history, eh? Where are the Falcons again?

And damn straight you Falcon fans would be drooling with a chance to get a DE like Cameron Jordan or a CB like Keenan Lewis...

A 10 spot improvement isn't unrealistic. It would rival the the 2011 squad we fielded, which ranked 13th in PPG with much less talent than we have now.

And even if we ranked 21st, thats probably enough for a 12-4 record and bye in the playoffs. Hell, even the worst defense in NFL history still managed beat your Falcons. How's that for looking at things objectively?

Perhaps those dirty bird glasses of yours are keeping you from viewing things rationally, or perhaps you're just scared?

Tell skid britches we said hello.

Re: I see a major, MAJOR problem with the 2013 New Orleans Saints

I'm riding the fence so far through two preseason games. I'm not getting my hopes too high, but there is no denying that the product on the field is already looking MUCH better than what we saw last year. For the most part, defensive players don't seem to be completely lost like they were last year, which only proves that the personnel is better suited for a 3-4 defense. The first team offense scored on every possession. Stills and Toon look to be solid and will make the offense even that much more explosive. I said after last week, and I'll say it again this week, I'll hold back on critiquing this team until the regular season starts. I will say this, though. If the first half of last night's game is any indication of how they are going to play in the regular season, then the NFL better be ready for a Saints revival. TESTIFY!

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.

We went 7-9 with the worst statistical defense in the league last year. A 21st ranked D has us winning the NFC South and back in the play-offs.

Dont care if its preseason or practice. Im seeing a defense much like 2009. ATTITUDE!
We switch to a 3-4 and win a game with maybr all 4 starting linebackers out.
