Re: Optimist and realist, Dennis Allen working to resurrect Saints' defense
Most coaches don't wear chin-straps.
And it doesn't matter if the coaches are slow to the ball. We've had guys that just did NOT perform. Plain and simple. After all the schemes and game planning are done, somebody has to make plays. For years our fundamentals have been just awful. Basic wrap and roll tackling was nowhere to be found. DBs that could not/would not/did not (pick one) turn, look and make a play on the ball. The rookies showed great promise (Kikaha-Anthony) along with Jordan. If we can get them some help, we may get to the middle of the pack. We score enough points to win most games. Just can't stop Sh!+. We don't need 11 play makers; maybe 4 of the front 7 and 2 in the back. A good run stuffer will make the other 2 look and perform better. At least 1 LB that can stay with a tight end. At least 1 CB that we can "confidently" leave alone and not worry about his coverage. 5 or 6 guys that excel at what they do and make the other 5 guys job easier. I hope we've got some play makers on the field once the roster is trimmed to 50s and the P-squad. I don't need pro-bowlers. I would be happy just getting off the field on 3rd and 17. Make the coach look good. |
