Question about defending the 00 and 01 personnel?

Great win, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I do want to know why we struggled mightily with the 00 or the 01 personnel? Sean Payton just gave the league the tape on hurting our defense. I think we need to examine our zone coverage and think about using dime more in those personnel groupings. What say you? Anyone else notice how Luke was taken out of the game today?

Sorry dude 4 and 5 wide receiver sets.

Hope this didn't come across as douchish; using quotes was just faster.

They did very much the same thing they did the first time (short dink and dunk passes), plus, with Tillman out, they went heavily after Finnegan and Jones. Even with that, we still had a pick and were able to limit their performance for most of the game. Once Tillman is back, we won't have to use Jones and that exploit will go away.

Ah, alright man, I gotcha.

 

Regardless, I think today was just a "Product of the Environment" kind of situation. A few weeks ago, I would have said that our biggest weakness was giving up big runs. Today was just a classic case of Brees in the Dome, in an emotional game. 

 

Honestly, if there is a "Blueprint" to beating the Panthers, it certainly has nothing to do with an offense beating our defense. The "Blueprint" would have to be the defense shutting down Cam in clutch situations. And that's a lot easier said than done.

Yeah I'd have to agree with TN05...plus it seemed like we played zone a little bit more today than we usually do, maybe that was my imagination though.  

We absolutely played zone almost the entire second half. I expect we will see quite a few 00 and 01 personnel groups from here on out. I happy a Fug we won, however Arizona's defense is not as forgiving as the Saints. I'm sure Ron and company will figure it out, but the zone coverage was like Swiss cheese today.

We seem to play zone when we're not certain about our personnel vs their personnel and we did have Finnegan out there who was just signed & probably didn't know the entire playbook well enough yet. Also, I think we were trying to counter that "submarine" move where Cooks would run behind the o-line to the other side of the field after the ball was snapped. Playing zone, however, doesn't allow much in terms of disrupting the routes and Brees' game is all about timing. What failed was the lack of pressure on Brees from our d-line which we count on to disrupt his timing.

It's simple. Not enough pressure and Colin Jones being useless in coverage.

As has been the case since Tillman went down, teams are almost solely attacking Jones. They know he's the kink in our secondary right now. And we know it. That's why we got beat over the top today. I bet if you look at the blown coverages on deep passes in this game, you'll see that they occurred on the side of the field that Jones occupied the nickel. Why? Because the safety behind him is trying to cover 2-3 guys at once to cover for him.

Once we get Tillman back, we'll be fine. If we get him back....

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
