Honestly, if the defense could just do this, the team has enough offensive firepower (when not turning the ball over) to compensate. 4. Turnovers? At least once in a while? Why does the defense look so different in less than a year's span? SFIAH |

The players look confuse way too frequently. It seems like they didn't trust the talent they had and decided to alter the scheme with more packages. Kinda like using smoke and mirrors when smoke and mirrors wasn't really necessary. |

Re: Accurate Read
In 2011 PT caught a freakishly unlucky hit to the base of the helmet and got knocked out of the game on a sure-fire TD. That play swung the game to me.

Re: Accurate Read
Maybe I don't understand what a finesse team is.....but I think your premise is flawed.
I think most teams want to do both "ground and pound" and have a frightening aerial attack. And, if you can, why wouldn't you? Through the first quarter of this season -- one whole side of the ball ( our defense ) hasn't played well. Our offense ( while not playing like 2011 ) played well enough to win these games. Only problem was our defense didn't hold up it's end of the bargain. We certainly HAD a stout defense last year and we were trying to be balanced and run the ball -- only problem was the O-Line had the opposite problem from this year -- couldn't run block. So, anyhow, with Sean Payton and Drew Brees, we will never be the Ravens or the Chiefs. You can forget that. But, I don't think that's a bad thing, except if you are saying that we can't do everything well -- ( dome patrol, aerial attack, beastmode and video game scoring ). And, if that's what you are saying maybe you are right -- but you can't fault Payton/Loomis for trying. One difference in the way our team is assembled, that is different from teams like Seattle, Cheifs, Ravens, etc. is that they seem to have star running backs who regularly have 80+ yd games. We seem to operate with committees. Committees of running backs, receivers, etc. That is a different style and I wonder if it is better. |
