eyes open

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; iirc the 49ers refused to allow the Saints to interview a couple of their defensive position coaches before the Ryan hire but even this offseason there were a couple of elite defensive coordinators available and the Saints didn't talk to ...

Rightfully so. You can't give up on Ryan after 1 bad season. Now if things go as they are so far, it may be a different story this coming offseason.

Re: eyes open

Vic Fangio (who coached the Dome Patrol) was available this offseason after the 49ers cleaned house and the Saints didn't call him, come on man

Ironically, Fangio is now the Bears DC, and this past weekend, the Bears defense allowed 31 points too.

Bears also played against a very good offense in Green Bay and have less defensive talent than we do at least in my opinion. Their entire coaching staff also had one pre season where we have had our scheme and many players in it for 3 years. I'd call equal results in a worse situation a win for them.

And the Cardinals offense is not very good?

If you say so...

Their entire coaching staff also had one pre season where we have had our scheme and many players in it for 3 years.
And how many rookies/backups started for Chicago? How many players in the Chicago roster have played GB in the immediate past, multiple times? How many players in the Chicago defense have played together for a season or more?
And GB was missing their top WR.
I'd call equal results in a worse situation a win for them.
How is it a worse situation? Oh, because you say so too

Preaching to the Choir I agree. But I got to thinking maybe Vic didn't
want to come back here. He was a Mora guy I think he was with him back with the Baltimore Stars. But Da Bears grabbed him up.

Re: eyes open

our best defense is either on the sidelines or in rehab or a frickin hostpital how can a defense get better with pick-ups weekly off waivers or grocery baggers. if the fifth stringers would of picked off a few of them passes that cards qb gifted to them we'd be 1-0........ the season is 16 games i'm giving it 8-weeks before I start thinking draft.

Re: eyes open

well just throwing a name out there, I would of even given Ken Norton Jr a shot but time to move on. I doubt RR last past week 10 if he does then I doubt he's here in 2016
