Make a trade for a Free Safety.

Ceedy was also bad today.
We could go full-own diva-dysfunction in the locker room and bring in Earl Thomas...

It's not like this team is staying together after this season...

My quick rant on safety play … Earl is probably not a popular choice in NO, however we need a change at Free Safety. How about the guy from the Jets Marcus Maye? Or Malik Hooker?

The lack of execution is atrocious. Four years into the system, playing in coverages he should be familiar with. You expect these mistakes from a rookie, not a 4 year starter in Dennis Allen's system. He seems to be baited on long ball after long ball continuously. A lot of those 40, 50, 60 yard bombs are coming from Marcus. He's no ball hawk and can't tackle.

Did you notice how 2 Glove Teddy walked him 5 yards off his zone to throw a deep post route ? C'mon man, that is unacceptable. For the collective amount of talent on defense, they are grossly under performing.

No reason for it, other than looking at coaches. Is it Allen, Glenn or the players? Technique, eyes, communication, Jenkins "experiment' has failed. What are they teaching in film study?

I thought Malcolm was brought in to help Marcus? What ever Dennis is asking these guys to do, they aren't executing on Sundays. Red zone defense, pass deflections are almost non existent for us.

It's gonna get ugly when the Saints face the big boys. IMO Marcus Williams needs to be benched. Why is DJ Swearinger inactive 2 weeks in a row? Activate him or make a phone call, find a trading partner at safety.

Davenport … when he plays? … a beast. Same goes for David O.

We can't expect the great Brees, AK to play perfect every week. Carolina should have been blown out today. You aren't hoisting a Lombardi with that defense.

End rant.

Don’t see a rant from you too often brother... love it. Can’t disagree with anything you said. That’s why I suggested trading for Harrison Smith.

Hooker is injured and the Colts really like what they drafted...


But as I posted earlier, Mr. Marcus was done by default when Malcolm was brought in under the pretense of veteran leadership and maturity - it was a deep draft for safeties and we should've moved Mr. Marcus then...


Marcus, Lattimore, all have regressed in the Dennis Allen/Aaron Glenn secondary; For Mr. Marcus, I think they've made the reads way too complicated, ala Ryan, and he's taking too long to read/react...

Marcus was an elite safety and DA and Glenn, along with Sean's personnel move for Jenkins undermined Mr. Marcus as the leader of that secondary - there's more blame on Sean, DA and Glenn, than Marcus...
