Saints Defense what's the secret?

How are they limiting all these good offenses to 3 points or fewer quarters?  Minshew was gashing us but can't do poo against them.  Strangled Big D and Tampa previously.  

 

Payton isn't even supposed to be a defensive minded coach

He's a good coach who has a SB win. Called a f'n onside kick and poo and had a pick 6 vs manning.

He's just vicodin crazy enough.

Field position in the 1st was a mess for the jags.

Saints were not among the preseason favorites for nothing, and it wasn't just for the offense. 

They got playmakers (Cam Jordan, Demario Davis, Marshon Lattimore) at all 3 levels on their defense.  Plus their defensive line overall is way better than in years past.

We don't win the division without taking them down at least once and maybe both times this year.

Bradberry isn't Lattimore.

This isn't a knock on Bradberry, but he's not as athletically gifted as Lattimore. Lattimore is able to recover and stick with his guys a lot easier than Bradberry. In fact that whole secondary is more talented atheletically than ours.

So for example when D.J. Chark, 6'3 and runs legit 4.3 is matched up against Crock it's a lot more of a difficult matchup for us.

That said our front 7 is dramatically better.

    • Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing. 
    • the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.
    • I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
