Greer had a inconsistent night

Made a couple pass breakups, then got burned a couple times, dropped an easy pick 6

Even though I love how our D has played, greer has become the weakness in our secondary after being the strength for so many years, corey white will replace him

Corey white and keenan are the future at CB for us

Absolutely right, and it'd sure be different if he were getting Pick 6's all the time. Last I checked, he hasn't. Spot on.

no the saints are not overly talented. pro bowlers do not fill the defensive ranks, what we have is a solid unit of players. same group from last year really. so we are seeing the old saints defense once again after a year in limbo.

no individual flash for the broadcasters to talk about. just a unit

Exactly.
4th in scoring D
what other stats even matter?
First play from scrimmage Humber makes the stuff. Herring has 5 tackles to lead team. Johnson and Walker get sacks. Corey White knocks down 2 passes...Everyone contributes

Try considering the source....

How does a national publication allow such obviously partial drivel to be presented on their site.

The gist of this article is, This Cowboy _______ is a good player too bad so and so was hurt, the Saints suck. The Cowboys are a really good team, too bad ________ was hurt. The Saints only look like a good team, how about that ________ guy for the Cowboys? He's really good except that because of ________ he looked bad. The Saints suck.

Good job PFT!

They don't "allow it" brother man.. They reward it.

Apparently this dope was watching another game.

Are we the 2000 Ravens or the Dome Patrol of 1992? Absolutely not!

But this is a GOOD defense. It has some holes, but it also is capable of pitching multiple 3 and outs every game.

Dallas stood toe to toe with Manning in the 50 burger bowl, so they are capable of scoring and we all but shut that down tonight.

I hope they tape this article up over the doorway to the locker room, so everyone on our defense sees it and reads it every day during the week before we take on the 49ers.
