The line that really hurts is this:

"Even the 2-10 Cleveland Browns would hesitate before trading their defense — ranked 29 in the league — for the one we've got here in New Orleans."

Watching other teams week in, week out, our defense has no depth, are undisciplined, and are not well coached at all 3 levels. That is why we are this bad on defense. Sure, Browner can be squarely blamed for some, but he can't shoulder all that blame. We're going in the right direction by firing a DC, but we've got serious issues with a thin talent pool defensively. We've got an even more serious issues with an incompetent and/or lazy coaching staff...defensively.

Offensively? We're a G, WR1, TE1 away from a top scoring offense again, I reckon?

And a play caller...
