Last year three areas stood out to me as problems. On offense pressure from the inside of our offense line gave Brees fits and led to many of his turnovers.If Max Unger can live up to his pro bowl status ,this problem should be improved greatly.
On defense our pass coverage was abysmal . Lack of talent and depth at the crucial CB and a inability of our LB corp to cover . Loomis and company acquired Browmer,Breaux,and several draft picks . I commend them for addressing the problem at CB from all available avenues. We will be much better at CB I think.At safety we have the potential of being special with Byrd ,Vaccaro,and Bush . Add in the Sunseri and the others and it easy to be optimistic about this group. Rebounds by Bryd and Vaccaro could make this group special.
Turnover in our LB corp has been drastic gone is our leading tackler and pass rusher. One could not cover and the other was an ass hat. We added veterans and draft choices to improve the rush and coverage.This will be a crucial area where we need some of these players to step up and contribute.
Our front four needs to rebound from a down year. With the addition of Kevin Williams ,rookie Tyler Davidson , the key in my mind is the return to form by John Jenkins who as a rookie showed so much promise and last year struggled with weight and injury issues. Akeem Hicks in my mind needs to take the next step,if he can this will take some of the heat off Cameron Jordan.
The hiring of Dennis Allen gives Ryan a very good assist in correcting the mistakes that led to last year's near total collapse. Don't under estimate how much this upgrade to our coaching staff can help.
Coach Payton is alleged to making a commitment to the running game . I think that Peat's contribution to the improvement of our run blocking is underestimated,just how is unclear and will be intriguing how it plays out during the preseason. At the very least I see him in as third TE in short yardage and think he might even get a look at the other guard opposite Evans. We didnt give up a #1 to red shirt him. Improved run game helps our defense and takes some of the pressure off Brees.
We went all in trading a star player , spending draft picks and trading away problem players Adding CJ Spiller to replace some of the lost production is exciting and if he remains healthy there is no question of talents. There are lots of IFs this season and I am so happy to see how they play out .
