Two words: salary cap.

You can have the Dome Patrol, or you can have Drew Brees. It's your choice

Yep,

2013 Saints offense + Dome patrol defense = 19-0.

It would also equate to about 70 million over the salary cap.

You hit the nail right on the head.
In the Payton era we've had probably the best offense in the league. Teams play us and they know they may have to score a ton of points win. In turn, it puts our defense in a tough position.

Early 90's, if my math is correct, was about 20 years ago. And btw, our defense with spags at the helm, did pitch a shutout last season, so the talent is there. It all depends on stamina, and motivation. We need a defensive leader, that leads with heart, determination, AND example. With Vilma on the decline, I don't see anyone stepping up into that role. Yet.

I think the leaders are Lofton, Jenkins, and Cam Jordan. In that order.

Forgive me for piling on but why are we digging graves for anyone in the Saints organization before the season even starts?

Re: If Rob Ryan fails to fix the Defense Who's Next DC?

Our personnel hasn't been that great since Mark Fields and Sammy Knight were here. Last year Spags ran the worse possible scheme for an already weak group of players. We've NEVER been able to get pressure out of a 4 man rush and he was betting the house on it. We haven't had an elite pass rusher in years. Not since Will Smith and Charles Grants glory days. People always seem to flash like shooting stars for us as far as pass rush goes. Smith...Grant...Darren Howard anyone?

Re: If Rob Ryan fails to fix the Defense Who's Next DC?

im not sure but that sounds like a excuse. the salary cap don't allow it
tell that to the pats always a top offense and almost always a top 10 def same with the giants,broncos,pitts,packers


I said in the beginning I was giving him the benefit of the doubt

i'm just saying I haven't seen much improvement only way we get pressure is with the blitz
