I can’t stand the play calls... only rushing 2 or 3 at times, absolutely idiotic. However maybe adding Apple will give Allen some confidence to rush 4+ every play

I get not blitzing often as today's quarterbacks are taught to throw to the vacant zone the blitzer is coming - it actually makes the QB hot read faster, easier, versus...

When you drop a number of guys back the quarterback's read takes longer to find an open passing bucket, window to read, decide and throw...

Our problem with our Saints defense is that we/'ve lack/ed a quality, complementary skill player at LCB as well as Safety support to defend deep passes...

Also, when rushing three, only Cam Jordan has shown to be an effective pass rusher with regular pressure while other defensive linemen are losing one-on-ones...

After a while a quarterback settles in and gets comfortable with the pocket rolling away from Cam...

Often a pass rush is not just how fast you get to the quarterback, but also to delay the quarterback's read, throw allowing the back seven to read, react and move to defend the passing target...

The Blitz really should be more of a shock and awe weapon to rattle a quarterback who may be starting to get comfortable...
