Your point makes no sense. |

Re: After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
Offense? Sorry...ain't and will not buy that. You look at execution on the D side, and you see out-of-position personnel, bad angles, very little D-line pressure, slow MLB'ers, and forcing turnovers being as rare as non-alcoholic moonshine.

Re: After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
Courtesy of coldhardfootballfacts.com (I'm paraphrasing here): From 2008 to the 2013 halfway point, teams with +1 or higher turnover ratio were 882-237. I'm bettin' you could like go all the back to 1950 and it'd be about the same. It's still about 75% odds you win a football game if you force more than you give away in a game. With our offense, that makes the difference between close games lost or won in the last minutes and us delivering a resounding beat-down. This concludes my seminar on winning in the NFL...please exit the classroom without any obscene gestures.

Re: After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
"Two weeks in, the numbers for Ryan's unit don't lie.
His defense, for now, stinks." After reading this article I feel less confident then ever. It appears are defense is in total disarray. Something is just not right with Rob Ryan and his approach this year. What is going on????? |

Re: After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
Those numbers are the results. That explains nothing.
The reason why we suck is because the defensive unit is not organized or communicating. |

Re: After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
The defense played a bit better in Cleveland, giving up 19 points and far less yards than in Atlanta. (7 of the 26 points Cleveland scored stemmed from a bad Drew Brees throw).
Maybe our defense is a work in progress and maybe it's improving. I predict when all is said and done, our defense will end up ranked #17th or so, and our offense will end up ranked #1 or #2. We go 12-4 and lock up the number one seed. No, I'm not delusional, I'm not drunk, I'm not insane, and I'm not using drugs. |

Re: After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
Our defense stinks because the defensive game plan makes players hold their nose.
