Doesn't matter how good the offense is,if we dont get better at rushing the passer we wont win enough games. We need another guard or two but without getting a pair of DT,a DE and OLB we are not making forward steps

On offense, Sean Payton can make Chicken Salad out of Chicken ****

On defense, we've been making Chicken **** out of Chicken Salad.

We really only need a couple of key pieces on each side of the ball to field an elite team. We just need to find the right fit.

I think "Total Defense" should be an average rank of...

Points against per game (given up by the defense only)
Yards against per game
Yards against per play
3rd down conversion %
Yards per rush
Yards per pass
Penalty yards
Takeaways
Red zone TD%
Red zone FG %
Red zone stops

I'll bet if you averaged every teams rank in those categories you'd truly see how good or bad your defense is.

I'm pretty sure we'd still rank last.

I think Fontenot is in charge of pro scouting. I'm not sure if he does a bad job or if the FO does a bad job of informing the scouts of a clearly defined plan. We brought in a new head college scout last year I believe and we drafted much better. Especially on defense which is where Jeff Ireland has the credentials to show that last year wasn't a fluke and he can evaluate talent.
