Re: PFT still thinks we have a lack of talent on defense
 

Upgrade, Downgrade or wash?

Byrd replaces Jenkins - Upgrade
Vaccaro replaces Harper (full time) - Upgrade
Champ replaces Greer - wash (at this point in Champ's career)
Butler over Haralson - Upgrade
Haralson as the backup - Upgrade
Corey White 3rd season - Upgrade
Patrick Robinson 4th season - Upgrade
Rod Sweeting 2nd season - Upgrade
Hicks 3rd season - Upgrade
Foster 2nd season - Upgrade
JJenkins 2nd season - Upgrade

Then factor in all the draftees competing for spots at LB, CB, Safety and special teams and only the most uninformed fan, (otherwise known as a Falcon, Panther or Buc fan) could see anything but a major improvement over the 2013 unit.

Can anyone point to one single position where we downgraded?
Can anyone point to one single defensive coach where we downgraded?

I didn't think so, now STFU!

I think we have all been awaiting Patrick Robinson's development. He is a bit of a tease.

Re: PFT still thinks we have a lack of talent on defense
 

No doubt. It's time for a return on the investment.

PFT needs to get some better recruits than that Carolina hack...

What do they know.

Re: PFT still thinks we have a lack of talent on defense
 

He's entitled to his opinion. Personally I think he's picking one of the top 5 most talented rosters in the NFL to hate on. If not the most talented. If Josh Morgan can stay healthy the Saints will have the best WR core in history. They may have it without him.

Re: PFT still thinks we have a lack of talent on defense
 

Hey Billyt81,
I assume you meant "Joe" Morgan. And yes, that is a big IF as it relates to Morgan staying healthy.

Re: PFT still thinks we have a lack of talent on defense
 

Yea Joe Morgan and I need to regress a bit from best WR core in history. Sometimes my Black and Gold goggles are a little too thick. But I do believe the Saints 2014 offense has a very good chance of being one of the best statistical offenses in history. "Joe" Morgan or not. I am anticipating Cooks catapulting the Saints offense in a similar way that Moss did to the Pats O when he got there.

Re: PFT still thinks we have a lack of talent on defense
 

Yes we have been good historically. But we need to win at home AND on the road for the media to get off that sour note.

Re: PFT still thinks we have a lack of talent on defense
 

Too soon to say Butler over Haralson is an upgrade, but everything else is a perfect illustration of counterpoint, in detail, to that @$$hat's column...
