Saints Defense
 

If I’m not mistaken, didn’t the Saints break the record for not allowing a 100 yard rusher. If not, their close.

Re: Saints Defense
 

Think we are around 47 and I believe the eagles went something like 53, so pretty close.

Re: Saints Defense
 

Yes they did... 54 games straight... but let’s get rid of Allen right guys!!!

Re: Saints Defense
 

According to what I just read the records is 59 by the Browns. But that was back in the 50s, so different era maybe?

Coach Ryan Nielsen.

IMO this the main reason why ELITE RB's aren't successful running the football on that Saints D line. He has been good since Day 1.

His name isn't mentioned enough on this forum.

Hopefully we don't lose this guy anytime soon.

Re: Saints Defense
 

That is exactly why his name isn't mentioned ;)

Nobody needs to know his name.

Re: Saints Defense
 

Lol.

Nah, Ryan is deserving of a opportunity at Def coordinator. He'll eventually get his shot either in N.O. or elsewhere.

If we continue to perform well defensively, someone will call and give Dennis the menace another opportunity at HC, leaving a spot open.

Re: Saints Defense
 

I believe there was a reason for the calls for Allen and though that problem seems to have been resolved the stats still remain dont they? Then and now, we lead the league in defensive pass interference penalties and penalty yards. It was consistent enough that QBs were using it as a plan.

The fact that we have had only 3 DPI in the last 5 games and still lead the league in DPI penalties and penalty yards speaks to how egregious it was.

I’m not taking anything away from how the defense is playing now and Allen being the coach gets credit for what ever he did to turn it around.

They are ballin' out! I hope we get Jack rabbit back soon. He's been a valuable asset and P Rob and PJ have done alright but I don't want them out there any longer than necessary.

Re: Saints Defense
 

Ryan Nielsen's name is being linked to the HC vacancy down in Arizona.

It wouldn't surprise me to see his name come up as a DC candidate in the NFL once the season is complete.

Re: Saints Defense
 

Don't let him walk away! Give him more money than they offer for the DC job. Gayle seems willing to spend the money to get the right results.
