Optimistic about Allen and what improvements he can instill.

Re: Our defense
Trenches - they just get pushed all around. losing man on man battles
OLB/DE - setting the edge is a huge sore spot. CB/LB/S - second level run support is lacking. Saints defense is aggressively tentative. They rush in and stop then react to the action. Other teams are taking the game to them not the other way around If they kept track of failed attempt to strip the ball vs making the tackle as the first defender making contact, the saints would be tops in the NFL. we have plenty of issues but up front is number 1. Big butted sand in their pants players are needed. Ones with attitude that love hurting people |

Re: Our defense
If it is something you love getting a side kicker is irrelevant.
Beside a bounty and the saints connection with the saints was never proven Great example of a late round pick the saints will probably never talk to is Josh Tupou, NT, Colorado 6-3 325 5.00. He is out of football this year due to a fight on campus. here is the kicker. he went to a party with two loud mouth friends that started the fight. He put an end to the fight when he drove two people through a wooden fence. I see this as a kid that made a bad choice in friends at the time and i would look into it asking did he learn about picking his friends better? What draws me to him is the fact he did not start it but he had their backs and put an end to it. charges were not pressed and we are not looking at a Florida state type of interference coming from Colorado. answer that first question correctly and you get a player with third round talent in the fifth round. See that is were i see an error in the saints skipping some players as trouble makers. To me it is all about how you got the label not that you have one. That to me is a kid that would love the chance to hurt people on the professional level and prove he is not the kid people made him out to be. if he answers the question right |

Re: Our defense
100's of problems on D. Our guys up front are super soft.
My suggestion? ... let em sweat out training camp in Thibodeaux, Hammond or McComb, MS. Probably won't change anything but it will at least make me feel better ![]() |
