How does this improve the 27th ranked defense? Instead of losing 35-31 we lose 48-45?

Would love him in a saints uniform. Just see another sub .500 season without defensive improvement. Entertaining and heartbreaking simultaneously!

No. We would win 48-35.

Interesting comment. Instead of getting off the field on 3rd down on offense, we go on to score the TD instead of the FG or punt. Imagine this memory... going up 21 to 10 in the first quarter. Payton and Brees know offense better than anybody we have ever seen in Black and Gold.

The 2nd #1 pick or second round pick is going to the Pats for a CB. We can draft a DE with either left over pick.

If anything, you might see fewer games per play as running games tend to chew up the clock...

maybe instead of 400PaYd and 100RuYd you have 300PaYd and 150RuYd, you're defense is less exposed and therefore you're not giving up as much opponents offense...

And we get back to winning games 28-17, 35-20 kinda thing...
