Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
That was our chance right there, pretty much sealed the deal on the season.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
FWIW I think the defense (specifically the D line) is really encouraging. Craig Robertson has been solid (so is Ellerbe when he plays), Moore & Webb (credit DA & AGlenn) are doing a good job to say they were on the couch a few months ago.
Resigning Nick Fairley should be a priority this off season. I know many didn't initially like signing (some labeled him a thug/lazy/unmotivated etc) however he has been disruptive since opening day of TC & Rankins looks like a player at this level. The special teams though ... oh boy. Any other thoughts on the defense? |

The defense has been playing very well, as you said Nick Fairley being signed should be a priority, that tackle for a loss was incredible. His burst off the line is very impressive a guy of his size. |

Ellerbe is very good when he plays however I think the Saints FO move on from him this off season. Dude just can't help us consistently & that's a shame because he is a damn good player ![]() |

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
Robertson, Fairley and Stupar are probably 3 of the best defensive signings we've had in a long time.
Further showing you don't need to break the bank (Jairus Byrd) to get players that work well. |
