Re: Saints talk, Defensive Line. Why the sudden turnaround?
I'm sure that the Guy Who Posts Responses To Every Other Post will chime in with his two cents and disagree with me, but I think a large part of the success is, simply because they BELIEVE in it again. Did you see last night? It was crazy out there. Every play, while the Dolphins were in the huddle, or lining up, you'd have 3, 4 Saints defenders waving their arms around, trying to get the crowd to MAKE NOISE!!! Even during time outs, even during TV TIME OUTS with Mr. Orange Mittens, they were beating their chests, flexing muscles, jumping around before and after almost every play. It was emotional and they showed ENERGY, they showed passion, they showed confidence, and the crowd was feeding off of it.
That is happening because, beyond all the technical adjustments that Ryan has made, they are BUYING IN to the defense and BELIEVE it can work. They are investing it with energy and intensity that they DID NOT HAVE last year. Because they "QUIT" on Spagnowedon't. Last year, they looked listless and dull and lifeless out there, getting penalties for too many men on the field because they would just casually saunter off to the sidelines like they didn't care, just walking. Not this year. Everybody is IN and on board with Ryan and that's what makes it so darn exciting to watch.
