'Simple' fix for New Orleans Saints' defense
METAIRIE, La. – The answer to the New Orleans Saints' defensive woes was simple:
Simplify things. After struggling with assignment and communication breakdowns during their first two games, the Saints cut out all of their on-field checks and adjustments – especially since they were playing at home with the crowd noise at a fever pitch. The result was a much cleaner, more efficient performance in Sunday’s 20-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. 'Simple' fix for New Orleans Saints' defense - New Orleans Saints Blog - ESPN |

Re: 'Simple' fix for New Orleans Saints' defense
It sounds to me like SP went to Ryan and said something like "Hey you remember how the defensive scheme was last year? Yeah, that was good. So why are you changing it?"

Re: 'Simple' fix for New Orleans Saints' defense
Well after the Browns game Payton did say (I'm almost quoting verbatim but too lazy to look it up) "I'm not usually in the room with those defensive meetings, I'm usually over with the offense" and I'm almost certain that changed and he said he would specifically go over the defensive film with Ryan, and he is spending more time now during the week with the defense. So we don't know exactly but I kinda think that DID sorta happen, after that outburst on the sidelines against the Browns.

Re: 'Simple' fix for New Orleans Saints' defense
Ryan said he wanted to get "weird" w the defense this year. Well, is it weird enough yet?
