Didn't Maulet have a good camp? I get having to sign Biegel due to Te'o being out for the Failclowns game...but you have to wonder if that secondary needs all the help they can get.

Sean padding his stats for his yearly bonus.

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

If PJ Williams doesn't do any better than Crawley then we may wish we had him. I understand needing LB'er depth but the new man we brought up from the PS doesn't know this complex defense yet.

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

Practice squad players go through the same meetings and practices as do the other 53 players. He may know it better than some already on the staff ... Robertson?

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

We have Robertson on the bench is that not enough oh we cut Maulet for Biegel But would not have to, had we kept Stupar....Silly Saints

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

I refuse to believe Crawley is that bad. He took the job from Harris and Williams and had the play on the other side of the field as the ROY all year long. He more than held his own. I don’t know if it’s injury, lack of a pass rush or something behind the scenes but I didn’t expect to see this big a drop off from our secondary.

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

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.

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

Ok then what’s Lattimore’s excuse?

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

Lattimore had a great game last week.

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

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

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

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.

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

Dennis Allen.

He's over complicating things on D.

Re: Saints Release Arthur Maulet
 

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.

Through 3 games, the Saints defense is giving up a 141.7 passer rating. This is possibly a NFL record.

That's mind boggling. This is not a new thing. Just about every year, our defense creeps into the historically bad category. I can't believe Crawley, Kurt Coleman, Demario Davis, AJ Klein are poor players.

Our scheme is terrible.

Shoot too late to bring him back Mistake!

Our veteran scouting department has been sub par! Teo and Robertson are good but we're missing on a lot of free agent acquisitions!:brood:
