Kenny Vaccaro says it's time for the Saints defense to take ownership of its situation

Another level of respect for Kenny V - who has taken a beating 'round here now and then (some deserved)...

Really would like to see him paired with Bell, NOW, for several games...

Byrd is just toxic for this defense in so many ways...

It's pretty discouraging when a highly paid starting safety is called out on MNF. I think Jon Gruden used the word "liability" a few times.

IDK, maybe he simply isn't the same player in NO because of past surgeries, scheme or the talent (or lack-thereof) around him. I thought he played well vs the Giants last week though.

He always had a very strong front 7 in Buffalo. They would create pressure forcing errant throws, and they would keep him clean in the run game. Byrd hasn't changed, the Saints just don't understand how defenses are built.
