Excuses and reasons are often confused. Losing one player can have a detrimental affect on a defense. Losing two or three would have even a greater affect. When you see the following it can have a devastating affect.

RESERVE/INJURED

FS 33 - Jamarca Sanford
CB 24 - Kyle Wilson
DE 77 - D.J. Pettway
CB 43 - Jimmy Pruitt
DB 27 - Damian Swann
CB 25 - P.J. Williams
DE 58 - Obum Gwacham
DB 30 - Erik Harris

RESERVE/PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO PERFORM

LB 44 - Hau'oli Kikaha

RESERVE/NON-FOOTBALL INJURY

DE 76 - Mitchell Loewen
LB 56 - Mike Mauti

And that doesn't include all of the defensive players that have missed significant time due to injury, yet are still on the active roster. Yet, even with all of that, the defense is still better than each of the past two seasons.

Excuses and reasons are often confused but there is also the word denial. I think thats what some fans here do, denial. We haven't had a real D in the Payton era and only Williams made it work, the clowns we have as D coaches have NO TEAM INTERESTED IN THEM IN THE LEAST. Allen was a one hit wonder the 2009 season and if it wasn't for Sharper he wouldn't have gotten a sniff from another team then. If you think he's the answer the word denial might be lurking. Payton brought hif flunkie back out of pity because it wasn't from being a good DC. I would have been laughing if it wasn't my Saints being manhandled by Detroit when your boy Allen was going to put his stamp on the game and blitz Stafford to show how Stafford Allen was the man on I believe a 3rd and 17, I know what Stafford showed Allen 7 points. Denial is not a good thing. Oh by the way on that list all very unproven players.
