I'm not sold on Allen either. He wasn't a DC in 2009. And the 4-3 or 3-4 mixing could be a problem. We're supposed to go back to a 4-3 but who knows.

Mitch I'm not saying RR was better than DA; I'm smh re: bringing in a defensive coordinator who's likely not to use personnel already on the roster who are a better fit for a different front than one he prefers...

I think I'm just about 100% on board with those picks JP. That would be as close to perfect as we could get.

I have heard some chatter lately (from Mike Triplett I think) about the Saints doing something completely out of the ordinary and looking to trade down. Tony Pauline also mentioned it a few weeks ago saying we had interest in moving down and taking Kamalei Correa later in the first.

I look at Oakland and judge their drafts under DA. not bad not to bad at all. He is a bit of a gambler I have to admit. His FA moves one year was his death sentence. I hope he learned his lesson.

He proved to be one thing Rob was not. A coach involved on the field and one that makes changes on the fly to adapt to the flow of a game. that alone is enough in my book to sit back and watch the game unfold vs yelling at the TV and wanting to slap Rob to wake him up as to what is happening on the field.

DA is a hands on coach. Rob was not
