Exactly, bring in Kurt Coleman for Cover-2 because, you know, he can cover and you play him in the box...

Then you expect Vonn Bell to exchange and pick up Lattimore's receiver as Lattimore takes the flat, as he should, WTF did you expect DA?!?

Payton had better get an opposite CB and these Safety assignments fixed this week or we're going back to Minnesota in the playoffs!!!

Yep. He's still got to learn to use that big body to box-out and force defenders to come around - that's on Dan Campbell and Ben Watson to coach that up...

But he could be a difference play-maker in the stretch if he can get those skills going...

Game Balls Geaux To:

Drew Brees - not only did he bust over the 500 Career PaTD landmark, but also in elite of elite company in beating every NFL team in his career...

Alex Okafor - Man, did Oak ever bring the pressure today consistently from his side today, including either blocking or altering pass arcs by Shane Falco...

Taysom Hill - Okay, just think where we'd be if we'd cut him after that terrible pre-season game after many had suggested; now this is Good Payton at his best, bringing a QB along to game speed...

Honorable Mention - it was good to see some aggressiveness, feistiness from Mr. Marcus today, even if one play cost us a goal-line INT...

Honorable Mention - if not having Peat didn't have me worried, losing LeRibeus made me sick, but Cameron Tom did an admirable job against some notable d-linemen...

Honorable Mention - DeMario Davis is still making some mental mistakes, but, man, did he makes some big plays when needed, clean it up DeMario!

Honorable Mention - To New Orleans Own Chris Meyers who put the timely Kibosh-jinx on Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to tie the game with a PAT - Never Forget Where You Came From Chris!!!

Re: Saints at Ravens Game Day Thread

I think 95% of the problems on our defense have to do with the 2nd CB. A think a lot of what looks like bad scheming/safety assignments is caused by us overcompensating due to not having that 2nd corner. I hate to say it, but Crawley looks bad. I've never been sold on him. Even last year when people were cheering his play, I've just never liked what he's brought to the table. Last year, we got by with him.. but this year teams have figured out how to exploit him. We need to either go out and get someone, or give Justin Hardee(who is very raw, but I just think he passes the eye test) a try.

That play that Brees did against the rush was incredible. He found someone at literally the last moment.

Allen needs to stop calling zone defense. The only thing we do well is play cover 2 man... Stick with that. We get into these 2min defenses and all I see is zone across the board.
I think Allen needs some help ... a defensive consultant. I know Nolan is focusing on the linebacker crew but Dennis could use the input. That last scoring drive by Flacco was far too easy. There is still a lot of confusion and TDs (high school wide open) given up on the back end each week.

Maybe Rezburna is available.
