If he plays we easily win that game. The system Rob installed was perfect for him but we thought we could find a better fit in Byrd. We are now on the 2nd attempt to replace Malcolm Jenkins. Hopefully we don't make too many more mistakes like that going forward.
Easily win what game? 2013? I doubt it. If 2010, maybe but Brees struggled in that game.

2010 we lost every running back we had. That was what happened. We could not run the ball. We had an old Julius Jones as our starting rb. I remember him dropping a pass close to the Seahawks endzone that game. Think it was intercepted.

In 2010 Seattle kept attacking Roman Harper in coverage. If Jenkins plays that game that TE doesn't go crazy with the catches.

of course they attacked him in coverage because Harper couldn't cover my grandmother and she's been dead for years.

Exactly and that was because Jenkins missed that game due to injury. If he had played, he would covered the TE not Harper.

It still remains that the defense did not perform under his guidance. What I hate is that he wasted Drew Brees' time, keeping him from the playoffs, division titles and championships.

The oline is to blame for 2014's collapse. Saints held the falcons well until they were gassed.

The oline had issues last season, absolutely no doubt. To pretend a D that 31rst and 32nd is absurd. They also could not get after the passer. I think we were first in penalties though.

I was talking about 2014. We lost the division because of the offensive ineptness against Atlanta.

We lost the division because we won 7 ( one Tampa gave us ) ganes that year. We won 7 games because our d stunk and the online, especially at center, wasn't very good.
