I have faith that he'll adjust and get things going right. I expect an effort boost after losing Byrd. I think we'll be flying all over the field wreaking havoc and crushing skulls.

This statement probably best encapsulates the situation for Ryan; New Orleans Fans love the guy, but he can't seem to get it that overpriced, aging veterans are not the personnel answer for today's defenses; young, fast, hungry draft picks and rookie free agents are how you build defenses...

I wasn't crazy about the his signing, but I don't think they are many Saints fans that don't want to see this defense get turned around more AND with him at the helm of the defense...

Is it really fair to say that he "can't seem to get it," when his defense was 4th in the league last season?

And wasn't he the defensive coordinator when we got rid of Vilma, Smith, Harper and Jenkins weren't they overpriced vets? Didn't they let Champ walk?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say he isn't a big part of what's going wrong with the defense this year, I just don't think it's the aging vets problem that we seem to have had here for a long time.
