This was written before the Browns loss. Damn fine assessment. Quite a few of us here have been spot on.

The Saints have Super Bowl aspirations this season, and after a Week 1 loss in which their defense was absolutely ravaged by Matt Ryan and the Falcons to the tune of 448 yards through the air, there is a lot of pressure resting on their defense's shoulders. In particular, Patrick Robinson has got to step his game, lest he lose his starting job on the outside.

Sean Payton has shown a lot of faith in Robinson in the past, but at no point has Robinson lived up to his first round hype. He is rapidly approaching Jason David levels of discontent among the New Orleans Saints fanbase, and it is becoming harder and harder to defend him week in and week out. The Falcons threw the ball at will all game, but the fact that Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan (who I almost wrote this article on, but decided to make the parameters players that are actually on the field) feels the need to scheme his entire defense around one weak link is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
