Re: A fill the time discussion....
Dome Patrol vs 2013 Defense? For discussion's sake how about we combine the front 7? Imagine that! Inside backers Mills, V. Johnson, Lofton, and Hawthorne. Outside backers Jackson, Swilling, Turnbull and Junior. Defensive Line of Jordan, Hicks, Bunkley, W. Martin, F. Warren, and J. Wilks.
The Dome Patrol had to compensate for years on the offensive scheme called by Carl Smith, too, which put the Patrol at the disadvantage more times than not and their special teams coverage sucked back then too. So the 2013 defense has the advantage from just that standpoint. Carl Smith could arguably still be the worst offensive coordinator of all time for any team ever. I'm nothing special, but at the age of 10 I was rocking about 75% of calling his plays before the huddle even broke. That man was awful at his job.
Speaking of special teams...can we finally confirm that crappy special teams coverage units are a staple of Saints football? From a historic perspective, it has been a must for this team since at least 1981.
