Re: 92 Passing Yards Allowed and 8 Sacks
Robertson and Oakefor were balling too. Teo looked great. Hopefully it wasn't just the old team deal. Loved the aggressive blitzing. BTW, who is that running back #33? That guy played great. Drop Lasco and keep that guy. Woof.

Re: 92 Passing Yards Allowed and 8 Sacks
Settle down its a preseason game against the chargers for crying out loud. The secondary didnt look all that impressive to me more like baf qb play but i do generally do watch a different game than alot of you. We will know one way or the other after the first month if they are better

Special teams play greatly improved. Linebackers are greatly improved. Kamara already looks the part. Coaching. Pressure is coming (Kikaha & Okafor) Last year we couldn't even sniff a QB in pre season ... last night, 8 sacks. Good Lord, what game were you watching? |

The first quarter of the regular season will be the true test. 3 away games. 2 playoff teams from last year. And the SB champs. Come out of that 4-0 or 3-1 with dominant performances, then we can have a conversation of where the Saints fit in 2017. What I saw was encouraging. But it's the preseason. Many of the players out there will be on benches, practice squads, or in the stands come September. If this defense sacks Brady 8 times and holds the Patriots to less than 200 yards passing September 17th, then that's a defensive game worth being excited about. SFIAH |

SFIAH, It's all about changing the mindset and culture of this very young defensive team. Pre season or not, winning starts somewhere. I'm encouraged to see where this team was this time last year to now. No need to wait until Sept 17th before getting excited about this defense. Nothing is easy at this level. |

I believe that we as fans wants the Saints to be among the elite teams in the NFL in 2017. But until they actually compete against those elite teams with the personnel and schemes designed to beat them, it's truly an unknown as to how it'll all come out. To paraphrase another posted in another thread... Must... Not... Get... Exicited... Yet... SFIAH |
