Saints looking to rediscover big-play defense. 'It's going to come'

I thought the whole reason for signing Kurt Coleman was that he could handle deep zone coverage in a way that Vaccaro and Bell couldn’t; thus allowing us to utilize more 2 Man Under. What happened to that?

Coleman doesn't even play very often. And when he does, I never see anything spectacular.

The season is still early but I'm not at the point of singling out Kurt when 85% of the Falcons production came from targeting our #2 CB.

I will say that Coleman was very good in run support (held them to under 60 yards rushing) vs Atlanta.

Hopefully the guys on the back end had a good week of film study & preparation. Key for me is for Dennis Allen to simplify the scheme.

I feel your frustration XVI but let's see what they do on the back end vs Eli & company come Sunday.
