I don't have any idea who this guy is, but he better be able to do more than tell guys "keep your pads level, rah rah, smash mouth, rah rah, hand placement, rah rah football jargon."

I went to the NC State/Vandy Independence Bowl game and State's defensive line dominated the whole game. They got five sacks and kept blowing up the offense all game long. They also forced three picks.

Me too and I'm glad the Saints FO didn't hire a re-tread.

I'm sure Nielsen is fired up and ready to roll.
