I'm not buying it
Who do we have that is going to be a "ball hawk"? because I don't see it, we can talk about getting better pressure all we want but we can't expect someone to step up and take the ball away among what we had. And safety is hard position to draft. So we're hoping the pass rush and improves and forces more third downs. I'm going to say maybe the defense is lucky enough to allow one less score, but by doing that, Brees has one more drive to do something. And if he doesn't, then we will find ourselves in the same position. Teams make big plays against us, they can adjust to smaller plays. I just don't think we have the solution to getting turnovers.

We don't have to get any turnovers at all to be quite frank, getting off the field on 3rd down will solve literally every problem we have on defense.

That's going to be so easy to do, right? Brees will play better at the 40 than the 20 too right? It was y'all that said Brees needed short fields. Let's see if this works against Green Bay and Detroit next year. Oh, and the bears no longer have Cutler either. They will be a problem as well. The schedule's better than last year for offenses against us or have the right balance to counter attack us. Green Bay, New England are good on offense Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago, Buffalo, LA are good on defense. So we want to improve defensively to force punts but when we force them against the likes of the defensive teams, they're going to hit back. The saints, without turnovers, will not be able to execute the quick strike with Ingram like they did against TB. Something tells me though we will win the division next year because the division is gonna suck. |

Is there really a difference from the 20th place defense and the 31st? |
Re: I'm not buying it
F*** IT. No sense in even watching who we pick up in the draft let alone watch the damn games.
Seriously Will, if I went through life thinking like you all the time I would jump off a skyscraper. Try to find some optimism in your post bro. |

Will, I know one thing. I'd rather have the ball in Brees' hands regardless. I honestly don't care how the D give the ball back, as long as they do.
Turnovers come with pressure, we have been adding to our front 7 all offseason, but if the D gets off the field on 3rd down consistently, I'd be ecstatic. |
Re: I'm not buying it
Last year, thanks to Davison, Rankins and Fairley, we finally didn't get destroyed by the run consistently badly for the first time in many years. That was a step forward. If we can just get better edge rushing along with one safety to be "our Harrison Smith" to help create additional havok, along with solid coverage and assignment football, then the defense will have arrived.
