Let's see what the upcoming new secondary coach makes of him before we start screaming 'bust" or "cut him"...

Now we are seeing a trend, how in the world is communication of this type being missed? How do these guys not know the plan so they can work on different techniques? ... WOW

I hope this was just an issue with the DB coach and not a broader view of Payton's organization.

yet another CB in limbo and 1 a mess on the depth charts yet we are out looking at SS?

I am confessed with what the saints are doing? throwing darts at the wavier wire while running around screaming the sky is falling?

i am bewildered

No we aren't. 2014 was a down year. We're still loaded with talent. We just have a few bad apples that need to be trashed.

i agree but in no way should the defense get to add so many players. offense first and if there is room at the table later defense can have the scraps.

Disagree a bit Hagan. The offense needs O-line interior upgrades which typically are cheaper than most other positions.

The defense needs a #2 CB, OLB (2) and D-Line.

Cap wise, I'd estimate the upgrades need to be about 60% Defense, 40% Offense.

Who thinks a "SJB package deal" on or before Draft Day is coming?

I kinda hope so...I've soured on the SJB-thing. There is something behind the scenes with this kid we ain't seeing.

There must be something going on, the kid can't make more mistakes than any of the other people we put in.

Hope we get something out of him or for him, because you know he'll go to another team and end up in the pro-bowl.

Agree with your disagreement except to add 1 more for Defense (interior Linebacking). Don't you think our ILBs are unable to stop the run?

Tackles are made downfield, not in the hole. When they try to stop a run in the hole, they instead run right into the trash.

Hawthorne is surely gone, but Lofton's tackle numbers mislead but don't obscure the fact our run defense is at bottom of the league. Any run defense doing so poorly should look at MLB/ILBs (and/or NT/DL).

Like QBs Bulger (Rams) and Delhomme (Panthers), perhaps Safety Jenkins (Eagles), but who else do you recall?
