The catch to the defense is that it morphs throughout the season and into the playoffs so even our veterans are learning slightly different things week in and week out, it changes based on who we play.

Who ever we get will not be off the street and while a lot of defensive coordinators claim a defensive scheme there are only a few distinctly different different defensive schemes so all a player has to learn is the calls.

That first statement is very true; but, it does help with team chemistry - knowing the tendencies of your teammates and curbing your game to make the unit better is a very important aspect of developing a unit...

Has anybody in the 14 pages so far speculated that maybe the rumor is coming from the Giants side, that after what happened to Andre Brown the other night, they picked up the phone and called a bunch of people, including the Saints, and the Saints really have nothing to do with it except they answered the phone and are considering the offer to talk about it?

That seems really plausible to me. Somebody calling up and making a pitch for "hey, let's talk about Mark Ingram" doesn't necessarily mean he's on the auction block, or doesn't mean they are really in heavy duty talks on this. It could just be the Giants picking up the phone and feeling around to try and solve their problem. And it fits the guy's tweets, the vagueness and the lack of confirmable facts about the situation.

Just because he was right about Tebow doesn't mean he had any kind of inside info. A ton of people were saying he was probably going to get cut. Parroting others is not "inside" information, and besides which if this guy was legit he wouldn't have such an axe to grind.
