Byrd is 45 yards in the other direction of the ball, lining up on the other side of the midfield logo from the line of scrimmage, on almost every play. If the other team suddenly randomly decided to pooch punt the ball to him, Rob Ryan would be hailed as a DEFENSIVE GENIUS.

Maybe Byrd is a playmaker, a difference maker, I don't know, but seriously -- half the time there are people sitting in section 141 of the Dome, that are closer to the action than Byrd is.

That's what I saw. .... On critical 3rd downs I saw Byrd flying off into la la land, deeeep down the middle of the field.

All the while the crossing middle always open 7 yards out, our safety is 40 yards off covering a deep pass before the play even starts.

I have no idea what they see or what they are doing out there!

And when they do that it's like the Saints D are playing 10 men on 11. It really really is. No wonder they are getting carved up.

I've said the same thing every game we've played this season from the opener against Atlanta. On defense, most downs we look like a team missing a player, like we are only playing 10 players on defense. Either a LB seems missing, a DB or safety seems missing... I can never seem to put my finger on it and in different formation the void appears to be in other places.

It's baffling. I can't be the only person who feels this way, which concerns me. Like we have a broken joystick on a video game and 1 player flies off somewhere and we can't do anything about it.
