I wasn't thrown at either. Guess I was a big part of the Saints defense. :D

you're preachin to the choir. I say that every day.

Re: After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
 

there in lies the issue i think. we seem so aggressive in trying to get sacks we lose our lane assignments and the OL just rides us out of the play and open up escape routes for the QB

this is coaching and stressing the basics.

need to get back to the basics and those over glorified sack stats will come. i would rather no sacks and be in the QBs face all game long than this reckless abandon attacking defense we are running now.

once again it goes back to coaching

I'm curious, did you even know what I meant by "punctuation"?

Re: After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
 

For all you people that want to blame the offense for the two losses. In the first 2 weeks of NFL games only 4 games were lost when the offense scored 24 points or more. The Saints were 2 of the 4.

Also for you Drew haters out there. Did you watch the pick 6 play? Drew was hit as he threw causing the ball to go high. Also if Jimmy gave as much effort on that play as he did later in his touchdown catch he should have/could have either caught the ball (it went right through his hands) or at least knocked it down.

Yea, our LBs are bad. Where has Gallette been? I'd like to see us bring the safeties up and play aggressively. I realize we'd probably get beaten deep a ton but at least we'd be trying.

Re: After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
 

Although I think this is a strange post because I don't think there's many Drew haters outside of Atlanta but Jimmy Graham did let that ball go right through his arms and has shown poor effort on a bunch of slightly off target balls. What to make of Jimmy? When he's not letting balls go through his arms or bounce off his legs he's jumping over three guys in the end zone making spectacular TD catches. Right now he reminds me of Randy Moss in his prime. Best pass catcher in the league but definetely taking some plays off. Why Jimmy?

Jimmy Graham did let that ball go right through his arms and has shown poor effort on a bunch of slightly off target balls.

Graham's completed 77.4% of his targets so far this season.

By comparison....

Emmanuel Sanders 75.7%
Dez Bryant 74%
Roddy White 71.4%
Keenan Allen 70.5%
Julio Jones 69.6%
Alshon Jeffery 66.6%
A.J. Green 66.6%
Randle Cobb 66.6%
Brandon Marshall 65%
Eric Decker 64.2%
Jordy Nelson 62.1%
Steve Smith 58%
Calvin Johnson 55.8%
Jememy Maclin 50%
Michael Floyd 50%
Demarius Thomas 48.1%
Rob Gronkowski 47.8%

...definetely taking some plays off

Also, he's tied for the most 1st downs in the league
2nd in the league in receptions among all receivers
ranked 4th best run blocker among all tight ends
9th in yards among all receivers

Hard to believe he can find time to take plays off.
