New defensive scheme will take time to gel

Most people were saying it will take 2 years to shift personnel to transition to a 3-4.  Hurney shortened it by focusing much of the draft and free agency on getting folks for the new scheme.  But who thought they would have it down pat in their first action together?  How long should we need to build chemistry and get everyone on the same page? And who thought it would gel without Luke or Shaq.

Good post.  Everything centers around Luke and Shaq. The front DL is going to be good.  The DE/OLBs are going to be solid.  How often did Allen (Buff) go for TEs or target the player Boston was covering?  Early on, that was the weak spot.  If we get our #1 draft pick LBs involved, part of that problem is no longer a problem.

Luke is the captain of the defense and Shaq is his lieutenant. Without them we got gashed up the middle.

Plus we didn't game plan at all for them where they appeared to game plan for us picking on Carter for example.  So really the point was to give our starters reps together in order to get some film to evaluate. 

The offense was looking at the line play and how we stood up to lots of blitzing. They used Allen and Grier as stand ins rather than risking Cam. 

Special teams was a mixed bag as our kicker shined and the coverage teams struggled.

But we made progress and we have some film on the defensive line and secondary.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
