Hindsight is always 20/20... I didn't hear any complaining last year...

sorry rob i went off before he was hired. he was way down on my list of DC for the saints

For forums sake i placed a gag order on myself during training camp. i was already to eat some crow early on. which i have no issues with. But i had faith in my #1 complaint about Rob. Lack of flexibility an adjustment on the fly.

when the defense started it's slide after the pats laid the ground work to beat up on ROB's defense and Rex refined it I still stayed pretty quite during the decline and the lack of adjustments made.

I started off the year pretty much the same. after atlanta i started letting loss a bit.

Now the gag is completely off. 1 year since the start of the decline is fair I think.

The only thing that can save him is to draft the best CB in the draft no matter how far the saints have to reach in round 1. even then that may not be enough. Go man cover corners early and often.

So if this defense has it's best chance to start recovering in 2015 i say 2 out of the first 3 picks need to CB.

I have to agree with you on this one. Last year Rob is our knight in shining armor, then our team has a bad losing streak the next year and all the finger pointing begins. Give the dude a break. If the defense had stayed healthy be wouldn't be into the third string players and pulling dudes off practice squads from other teams. Stop finger pointing and start supporting your team!!!! I for one still believe they can right the ship. Just ask Cortana. Who Dat!!!!

Completely agree with joker-saint. There is only so much you can do with what the Saints have left. The only people in the secondary that would start for another team would be Vaccaro and Lewis. P-Rob is a 50-50 chance to show up for a game.White has the worst man to man coverage I've ever seen and gave up that crucial catch against Bengals because he decided go for an interception instead of batting down the ball.

It's a no win situation right now, throw more people in box, then they tear apart White and Robinson. Put less people in the box, average a lot of running yards.

Yes we have had some dumb calls to close out games but if you want to throw blame at Rob Ryan, you also have to point fingers at Sean Payton. Often bad clock management and trying to get fancy when running out time forces the Saints to give the ball back.

see i disagree there. it is never a no win situation. The personnel on this team is not that bad. matter of fact i have always like the core. Rob could not have walked into an easier job than following Spags. One eyed tailless monkey could have turned our ship around.

But right now it all rides on Rob to make it work given the players he has.

I expect the saints to bend but Rob needs to adjust so they do not break as much.

I in no way have given up hope but i will not let Rob slide one bit nor will i allow him to use the term WE to minimize his failures so freely.

"that's just the way it is". those words should never be said. that is what set me off. cop out statement no matter the context. if a player had said that people would raise more than one question about that player.

man up.
