We ain't on the bottom yet. We can still get worse, believe it or not.

28th points/game (27.5)
21st yards/game (373.7)
28th pass yards/game (270.5)
11th rush yards/game (103.2)
30th (Tied) forced turnovers (4)

Those ranks are staggeringly different than last year, but we continue to be effective against the run.

If we get worse in run defense: "turn out the lights...the party's over".

Surprising that we are that good against the run...

I was referring to Vaccaro's play. He only missed one tackle against Detroit.

It's a skill set which we don't have!

We haven't had it since Sharper and Vilma left.

I'll take some defensive 3 and outs coupled with some offensive clock management "TOP".

WHODATINCA · 10-23-2014, 06:26 PM

a new defensive mindset he and defensive teammates will "intensify their focus on what he dubbed “Operation: Feed Drew.”" The focus is "creating takeaways that set up the Saints offense in enemy territory."

I was the one saying we need takeaways....but, nevermind.

Actual tackling is now Job 1 for our D. One step forward, three back.

Talk is cheap. Time to stop talking and just do it.

Pretty sure our offense got 10 points off those two turnovers our D forced?

Didn't we get a TD off of the Lewis pick? I think we did, but can't remember
