Underhill: Saints survive clash with Browns, but have a ways to go before looking like contenders

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Browns are not a bad team. They can hang with anyone. I think the Jags are probably the most dangerous right now. Man handled the Pats and their passing is starting to look sharp. They don't even need Fournette....

From what I gather he is still making adjustments but part of that is most likely due to the fact that all of the training camp, the LBs were playing several different positions.

When seeing Davenport on the field, I like what I see. I think he will really find his niche soon on this defense. I think that if he didn’t have the setbacks during the off-season and training camp we would have seen him more.

I’m more disappointed in Coleman than Crawley right now. Coleman is a disappointment and I felt it was a mistake to think that he would be better in our defense than KV was. From preseason through the first two weeks he has been MIA and a step slow reading and reacting. And Bell always looks confused.

I wish they would stop with all this damn experimenting with players and just put them where they have the best opportunity to succeed. They should have spent the training camp honing in on that one position.

Well said my friend! Well said........although, I'm still holding out on my evaluation of Coleman just yet.

Blame the Saints coaching staff/scheme, not the player. DeMario is a good player (he led the team in tackles last Sunday) that has lined up exclusively at WILL while in New Orleans. That's the equivalent of switching a QB to full back, hoping he turns into Lorenzo Neal .

Not fair to expect results when he's out of position.

DeMario was actually tied for the lead in TOTAL tackles this past week with nine (3 solo, 6 assists). Klein also had nine total tackles, a bit more impressive with 6 solo and 3 assists. Both of those LB's had a pretty solid game and because of that the defense looked much better.

DD has a solid game playing at a different spot ... again. Very encouraging to see he had good numbers. Same goes for AJ Klein. Hopefully the trend continues vs Atl.

Yes. The only thing that concerns me are the turnovers. We're sitting at minus three. Turnovers are the most important statistic other than the final score.
