Does this put an end to the question "players or scheme"?

I guess not. But is sure seems we were running the wrong scheme last year eh?

What a turn around!

Spagnuolo is a bum!

I think a couple of myths have been jack-slapped by the Saints of late.

The myth that NFL success is all about the players, not the coaches. (see 2012 without Payton)

and

The myth that we had no talent on defense. (see the 2013 defense)

And to think Rob Ryan was without a job for barely 5 minutes ...

I think we beginning to see the light on a couple things.

Sean Payton drafting SMART players.

Meaning, we may of not had a smart D-Coordinator to scheme things until Rob Ryan came, I think its quite interesting how injured this defense has really been this year and hardly anything has changed, its the same production no matter who you insert.

With that said, thats similar to how some of the best defenses in the NFL have operated, insert anyone here, nothing changes. I like it.
