Our talent on the field is better than that.

Rob Ryan needs to correct what ever he has decided to break.

Well this visually explains a lot of that 500 bazilion yards of offense by the Falcons. For most plays, the Saints only had 10 men actually defending, and one 40 yards away, watching, LOL....also I'm not sure if I saw it here or somewhere else, but on the Julio strip/fumble, Julio was breaking a big play and there was again a Saints defender ridiculously deep (couldn't see his number) on the hash marks, 25 or 30 yards away, uselessly out of position to do anything.....too deep for the throw and too far away for the tackle.

Falcons had big passing plays of 54, 39, 35, 27, 23, 13, 12 yards.

Big running plays of 17, 17, and 10 yards.

Having one guy hanging out so deep (WTF is he doing, waiting to return a punt?) kinda explains the offensive circus the Falcons put on. They just ate it up the whole day.

Byrd always plays way back, its part of his turnover generating ability. In Buffalo he played far enough off so a QB would throw, and with Byrds closing speed he could INT.

Problem here is that Rob has everyone playing off which adds 10 yard to Byrds off putting him effectively in a different time zone.

Rugby Saint II

They played better defense than we did. That and their offense looked really really good.
