Re: Rob Ryan tried yelling, crying to motivate Saints' defense
 

All these different speculations on why the D just cant get it together. I have the answer and its easy. Plain and simple, we just aren't good nor have the talent to put it all together.

I cant sit here and put it all non our d. They definitely haven't played up to par but our offense just doesn't look right. Teams are getting the lead early and just running it down our throats. We have to close to the worst starting linebackers in the n.f.l. and I don't even want to think about our D.Bs. with the exception of Lewis. I love that dude.

We have no leader on defense beyond Curtis Lofton. I see pretty much everyone else as a "me" player.

Only guys on defense that were starters I want to see back are Lofton, Vaccaro (only because I can see the potential if surrounded by quality guys), Bush (he's a player), Byrd (cause he will be good and we have no choice), Jordan (alot like Vaccaro), Hicks (same thing). Everyone else can be replaced with similar talent with hopefully better attitude and effort.

Our LBer corp is a mess.

Rob it looked like they played for you tonight. But the Bears are a bad team.

As much as I believe that the DC has a hand in the problems of the defense, I wish people would get off of his back. I have seen many times that the scheme has put players in the right place and they haven't done what they should have, i.e. Tackle. So while I agree the DC has to scheme better, he can only do so much. The rest is up to the players.
