Re: Defense question
3 names stick out the most with me-Johnson, Vitt, McGriff, when Ryan was hired he couldn't bring in his own D staff and was stuck with these 3, they may be (well respected) in the league but come on Ryan is a 3-4 guy that took on a 4-3 team, our lb.'s have been fair at the best and our D-line have been o.k. at times but never been consistantly good( a patch job at the best) with back-up players filling key roles, Byrd is the real thing in the backfield, Lewis to, White at the #3 is fine, really we have a talented backfield. This scheme we're playing is killing us point blank and that goes on the coaches. Ryan is known for his lb.'s , where are they? We do not have the players for a Ryan 3-4 which is exactly what we need. We need to get rid of Johnson, Vitt, and McGriff. Fresh blood is needed in the D coaching staff.

Re: Defense question
Lack of pass rush will do that to any team.
And Robby is cray cray. |

Re: Defense question
What is this pass rush you all keep talking about from 2013? I don't remember any of it save against the clowns and the tampons, who were about as dysfunctional as they could come.

Re: Defense question
Saints had one of the better pass rushes in the league last year. PFF tallied the second most pressures from a 3-4 Dline and the 5th most pressures from the LB. The Saints were also the only team in the league with two players with at least a dozen sacks.
