I'm afraid we're in trouble.

Our LB's are better than any group we've had since the dome patrol. Do you really miss Scott Shanle?

Bringing back Meachem doesn't prove our WR's are weak at all. How in the world do you make that jump?

Did you forget about adding Ben Watson to team with Graham? We set NFL records with a nearly dead Devery Henderson as our #2 wideout. Good grief thats unbelieveable.

And a total overhaul next year? That is just totally ridiculous.

This might be the worst post I've seen here in years.

Thanks, Danno. You just saved me the time of typing the very same response!

Well, remember it's a world of only .15 seconds between the starter and the backup!

Imo there are a couple of holes to fill ob the defense but not many. Those will be fixed in next tears draft and free agency.Jordan-Jenkins-Hicks can fill the front three for years and there is sone good solid depth behind them.Wilson, Gallete, Reddick, , Butler all solid long term options. Vaccaro, Lewis in the secondary.All players to feel good about and with a couple of addition a massive improvement on teams of the past few years.

Youll be hard pushed to find a deeper receiver core than the Saints.
Graham/Watson
Colston/Toon
Moore/Tanner
Meachem/Stills

The team isn't built to pound the ball and grind out wins but to play plenty of screen passes and move quickly.

Im hoping for a stud RT, CB, FS above all in next years FA/Draft . Obviously that assumes that OLB inc Butler look good and Armstead progresses.

I think it's the opposite. Falcons have more concerns than us. No depth at any position I've seen so far. Gonzalez is old, still good but can be covered. Beyond their two WRs not much else and Jackson.. no way he is effective behind that OL.

+1 & very true. If you listen at 92.9 The Game out of Atlanta with Jamie Dukes and company.. these folks are absolutely concerned of what Sean P, The Big Lebowski (Ryan) & Brees will do on Sunday.

If anyone has got their hand on the panic button, it's those dirty filthy birds.

A marginally improved defense plus Sean Payton =

poydras · 09-04-2013, 09:11 AM

I've had my tickets since the 1980s and have seen it all. The sky isn't falling and nobody said anything about giving up. It's a 16 game season and there is no way to predict injuries and just blind luck. It's takes a lot of kool-aid to count on that though.

Jack Vegas · 09-04-2013, 09:14 AM

I feel like all these pessimistic posts about the defense are just the result of people reading the national websites and not paying attention to what is actually going on, you know, in the games.

The media narrative that has been built up about this Saints team is simply not in tune with logic and common sense, if you've actually seen them play. Did anybody actually watch the defense in the preseason? Because they weren't too shabby at all. But judging from all the things I read you'd think they got shredded up every single time they got on the field.

Beat the Falcons Sunday and watch, EVERYBODY is going to be up in arms. WHERE DID THIS SAINTS TEAM COME FROM? WITH THIS HALFWAY DECENT DEFENSE THEY COULD BE A GOOD TEAM!!! In the meantime people who have been paying attention won't be surprised, but that's the way it works. In the meantime we have to hear about how the Falcons with their crappy roster are supposed to dominate or how some tweak in Tony Romo's throwing motion is going to get the Cowboys to the promised land or how the 49ers supposedly have a better defense than the '85 Bears. It's all just white noise.
