Official Announcement: New Orleans Saints announce coaching staff changes and additions

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has announced five additions to the team’s 2016 coaching staff today...

...(excerpt on Peter Giunta) Giunta (pronounced GEN-ta) brings 34 years of coaching experience to the Saints, the last 24 in the National Football League with three Super Bowl-winning clubs. He spent nine seasons as the secondary/cornerbacks coach of the New York Giants from 2006-14. During his tenure in New York, the Salem, Mass. native was pivotal in the development of cornerbacks...Corey Webster...an eight-year starter under Giunta’s watch in New York and recorded 22 interceptions and four fumble recoveries in the regular season and postseason, including recording three takeaways in the 2007 playoffs on the way to a Super Bowl title. CB Aaron Ross, the club’s first round draft pick in 2007, was inserted into the starting lineup midway through his rookie campaign and he delivered with three interceptions, including returning one for a touchdown. Ross returned to the starting lineup in 2011 and finished tied for second on the team to Webster (six) with a career-high four picks. More recently, Giunta was instrumental in the development of CB Prince Amukamara, the team’s first round draft pick in 2011, who despite missing the last eight games with a biceps injury in 2014, set a career-high with three interceptions through the first eight contests.

Prior to joining the Giants in 2006, he spent five seasons as the defensive backs coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. Giunta joined the Chiefs after spending four years (1997-2000) with the St. Louis Rams, including the last three as the club’s defensive coordinator. In 1999, Giunta’s unit led the NFL in rushing defense, tied for first in sacks, ranked second in interceptions, fourth in scoring defense and sixth in total defense for the Super Bowl XXXIV Champions...

Kikaha play changed when Allen took over. He had more run stopping responsibility than he did under Rob.

Besides he had the ankle issues also and i wonder how much that played into it. he dropped to 10 against lions then went to 22 Jags followed by 32 against Atlanta.

He does set a solid edge something Cam does not excel at. Rob Peter to pay Paul kinda thing. look forward to the day they can feed off of one another again. Vaccaro and Browner were not the best combination as back ups. Browner was a huge head ache for Kenny I am sure, despite the tackle totals. That goose egg for INT and only 5 PDs jump out at me. Little to old school SS play IMO. But how much blame can you place on him with Browner play? back on topic

Kikaha production fell but Dennis is old school. stop the run first. get him some help at the second level or try a new combination back there, then i think Dennis will turn him loss again. whatever the reason it worked enough to get some Ws over those final 4 game.

Kikaha is definitely better at attacking and making plays behind the line

You have no idea what responsibilities he had under either coach.

Stopping the run 1st isn't old school. Its what all 32 teams do.

LMAO and you would say that ROB defense scheme was stop the run first? Dennis did a much better job making him a read and react player to help this team win than rob did turning him loose given the Browner limitation at the second level. Rob love the high light reels

Watch the game and you see a difference in his play style. with browner always chasing his assignment, Dennis did the smart thing. Limit the attack and go mostly read and react on that side of the field.

This is the part of game ROB SUXED at. The only thing he could adjust was his belt to cover up his fat .... that was made clear with his statements he made after he got kicked to the curb.

Dennis did what he had to, to win.

Perhaps Cam is not a set the edge defensive end that protects the linebacker....

He's a rush the quarterback every play guy...

And that's my criticism of Jordan....

Yes they did. But Carolina's 4-3 looked pretty flawless also.

And Wades 3-4 is really just a 4-3 under, which we run quite often. We just don't have a Von Miller rushing the passer.

This Superbowl showed me that today's NFL is more about speed on defense than in previous years. We need speed. Our 2015 draft is a good start, but we need more.
