We all noticed how much better our players tackled last season rather than constantly going for the strip, if all of robs defenses have been that way it kind of makes you think

I'd like more turnovers, but not at the expense of how dominant our D was last year, we were top 5 in the league for forcing 3 and outs - plus we did drop a hell of a lot of INT's last season
i will say it again Roy Boy gets to much credit. all he did was undo Spags screw up to Williams defense. He stepped in at year 3 of a youth movement on defense for the saints. most of what we are seeing is williams coaching. I do give him credit but i am not heaping it on the band wagon just yet. teams now have a full season of tape lets see how they attack us.

now my #1 concern with Roy is the fact he has never had a defense step up when needed to take a team to the promised land despite teams giving him the priority to add players. IE Dallas.

Lets see if he learned his lesson and lets another coach pick and handle the DBs. that is not his strong suit at all.

We all love Byrd signs but Kenny is going to be the key IMO.

teams will avoid Byrd at all cost and go after Kenny if he is playing a traditional deep set. Lets be honest Kenny is not known for INT's in college. If turnovers are key the signing of Byrd could become mute if the other safety can not produce the INT. this was my main issue with picking Kenny. I fear we have another Harper on our hands. not that is a bad thing. but it is a pick that did not solve the issue we had before.

so here is to Kenny this INT production expectation will fall squarely on his shoulders more than any one in the secondary. he will get tested early and often. i hope he steps up and produces. In order for this work teams must pick their poison and fear both.

Tackle first
TO second
