Everyone else is doing it....so why not me!

Last year, the weaker-than-this-year New Orleans defense held the better-than-this-year Micheal Turner to these yardage numbers

@ Atlanta : 96 yards, 27 attempts, 1 touchdown, 3.6 ypc

@ New Orleans: 61 yards, 18 attempts, 1 touchdown, 3.39 ypc

And so far this year, the stronger upgraded version of the New Orleans defense has managed to contain the weaker Micheal Turner to....

@New Orleans: 151 yards, 20 attempts, 1 touchdown, 7.55 ypc

Now, for those paying attention, try doing the math on this one. The same 2008 New Orleans defense held your beloved Double Trouble to these numbers (Stewarts numbers in parentheses for easy seperation.

@Carolina: 66 yards (68), 18 attempts (17), 0 touchdowns (1), 3.66 ypc (4)

@ New Orleans: 178 yards (56), 25 attempts (17), 0 touchdowns (1), 7.12 ypc (3.29)

Now remember, the weaker NOLA defense did better against the stronger Micheal Turner than the stronger NOLA defense did against the weaker Micheal Turner........

.......yeah, this doesn't mean anything.

our defense in '08 was epic sort of bad. so far this defense has been really burned on the ground by only one RB.

See, theres why its interesting. Your D was all kind of bad last year, yet held one of the best RB's in the league that year to such low yardage, especially when they were at home. Now, your defense has improved in spades while that same RB has seen a drop off all year, and he torches you. It just doesn't make good damn sense.

1 game like that does expose a weakness, though.

trends start with a single point.

there are several trends that are showing the saints to be vulnerable. it's just a matter of getting them all lined up.

this week the world will see more of the saints vulnerabilities exposed.

how about 7 games?

these are what the opposing teams have done against the saints rushing defense each week. keep in mind, these are net rushing yards...not just numbers from a single starting RB.

week 1 - 33 yards 1.6 ypc

week 2 - 79 yards 3.6 ypc

week 3 - 89 yards 4.2 ypc

week 4 - 132 yards 4.9 ypc

week 5 -bye...time to rest

week 6 - 74 yards 4.4 ypc

week 7 - 137 yards 4.6 ypc

week 8 - 161 yards 6.7 ypc

anyone notice the trend?

      Bryce by the numbers(emotionless post)

      By CRA · Posted

      His completion % wasn’t even high.  Think OP misstated a stat.  Bryce was 30th this week in completion %.  The bottom is where he has been every year in the NFL in that department.   you gotta dig real deep in analytics to make a Bryce argument

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      Agreed.  Setting protections is one of the more difficult things for an NFL QB to learn but I did see a lot of improvement over the past year.  It's still an issue but getting better.  Reich hung him out to dry in that aspect and almost got him killed. Once Canales gave him a hot read or option for blitzes and pressure he did much better.  The more experience he gets the better he'll get.  That's also another good reason to keep a strong oline.  Mitigates that a little bit.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      I'll just piggy back off what I said earlier here.    The problem with Bryce is and has always been his height combined with his arm. The reason he works so well ad-libbing is that he usually gets out of the pocket or allows the offensive line time to open throwing lanes which allows him to see the defense better, and manipulate the defense because of his legs which eliminates the need to read defense mostly.    The reason he doesn't work well in structure is because he can't make those reads at the line on what the defense is running and where to move protection, so he doesn't immediately know where to go with the ball based on coverages/ pressures so he runs the play exactly as it's called and goes through normal progressions 1-2-3.    He's gotten better at reading just based on Sundays game because he didn't nearly look as bad at it as he did last year and he didn't have AT to set lines and stuff for him.
