Best defense is a good offense

Very true. But I don't know, I can't view a singular aspect of a team as making it great, regardless of how effective that aspect may be. Did the Saints legitimately go up against a stellar pass defense all last year (I'm asking because I don't know and don't want to look it up)? No one in the South can stop a pass effectively, and the AFCW and NFCN can't really make that kind of claim either.

If the Saints were to face a team that can competitively shut down the passing game, how would their offense look?

And if you ever have the nerve to make a point by using NE as a reference point again, well then I just don't know what I will do. They are all godless motherless freaks of nature and deserve to be mentioned only in eulogies.;)

Actually Tampa was fourth in the league in pass defense last year.

As for NE, I don't like them either, particularly their obnoxious fans. But you can't deny that 2007 team was an offensive juggernaut.

I don't really agree with that philosophy. Really the theory works both ways, but I just would prefer an elite D.

Yes, but we do not have an elite defense without Kamo and teams could very well milk up the clock against us if they can run the ball all day.

The real question is will Fox throw the ball on 3rd and 14 or run a draw play?

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
