Crawley was struggling, but he's not bad as he's shown he can get it done; but he may need some time to regroup - it happens...

By the same token, P.J. Williams has been injured, was unavailable, unreliably able to play and was rightfully put on the shelf...

Now that P.J. is healthy, stronger, recuperated - he's also shown he can get it done and he may be a spark to jump start the secondary...

Remember, Williams was the Defensive MVP of the 2014 BCS National Championship game - so he can get it done on the big stage...

Let’s remember that PJ Williams was the starter last year but he was benched in the London game for breaking some team rule; not poor performance. Crawley snagged a pick that game and they decided to go with the hot hand. PJ Williams looked good against the Rams when Lattimore and Crawley were injured. I’m not ready to write him off quite yet.

Exactly. Thank You.

Ok then what’s Lattimore’s excuse?

Lattimore had a great game last week.

I thought he played good against the Falcons. They just kept picking on the opposite corner. They got abused by a rookie too.

I don't even pretend to be a defensive guru. But it seems to me that the Saints need to have a defensive scheme that keeps receivers in front of them. The single high safety look they've been playing just flat sucks as both Crawley and Williams seem to be caught up in double moves that leaves receivers wide open behind them with no ability for Williams or Bell to recover.

So why not just be boring and play a Cover 2? Put one of these speedy linebackers like Davis or Anzalone in the middle to drop back into coverage in the deep middle? While of course Cover 2 can be beaten in the deep corners and down the seams, it's designed to limit huge plays over the top. And the last that I checked, that's what's killing the Saints defense right now.

Exactly what I’ve been saying.

Dennis Allen.

He's over complicating things on D.

I've heard this story before (see Rob Ryan). Our offense is clicking enough that the D doesn't have to be great, just not terrible. The Saints defense needs to kill explosive plays (20 yards plus) now at all costs. I know that'll allow offenses to matriculate down the field. But right now we'd be better off forcing field goals than allowing explosive TDs.
