METAIRIE, La. -- Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan echoed the sentiment of his players Friday during his first visit with the media since the New Orleans Saints' 37-34 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Yes, problems need to be fixed. But no, confidence hasn’t wavered.

Among Ryan's strongest statements:

•"I know we’re a better tackling team than that. I know we are going to play
great and will be great."

•"You watch. I guarantee we will be better."

•"Look, that was a stinker for all of us, but nobody has to hit the panic button around here. We’re gonna work hard. We’re not used to losing, and we’re not gonna get used to it."
