Phil Snow's Defense

[PantherPhann89]

has too many holes: receivers are constantly making catches in open pockets with 3-4 defenders around them and neither one then breaks on the ball. Are we purposely playing safe to not get beat overtop?

to much inconsistencies: our pressure is too erratic. Granted Brees gets the ball out quick but we can't show our hand before the snap. 

gives too much cushion: why were we giving backup receivers that much respect. We should've played more man on receivers & Kamara

I don't think we're missing a player on defense. I think we're missing coaching!

The Defense doesn't seem to have a goal of making stops... The goal seems to be allowing a death by a thousand cuts and hoping for a turnover here and there.

Again, Phil Snow sucks. But the personnel is garbage. So, does Phil Snow still suck?

That’s basically what Rivera did... play soft coverage, keep everything in front of you and make them drive the entire field with no mistakes. I really don’t think we have the personnel to play man right now.

yeah I agree, seems to be a bend don't break mentality. But that didn't fit Rhule's style to me.

I think Snow is fine.  He's trying to hide our deficiencies, and there are a lot of them.  Name the guys you can depend on on defense...  I can only come up with Burns, Brown, and Chinn.  Everyone else is a question mark.  It's tough to play defense like that, especially on the backend.  And you play zone when your guys can't play man or consistently get pressure.  We don't have the personnel to man up.

Thank you.

Stop with the 3 man rush bs, then we'll talk about the shitty zones.

We have a brand new defense, young players/stop gaps (Whitehead and Boston) and held the Saints to <30 points in the dome. Had some bad calls. I’m going to call that a defensive success.

I'm not Hugh on Phil Snow's support list but I wouldn't say he suck, I'd say he's being too safe. But that could be because he don't trust the players.

Hard to make chicken salad out of chicken poo applies here.. 

The parts for a good defense aren’t on the roster at present.. Hell, Snow has actually done a damn good job when you look at that roster.

Bad tackling, lack of press coverage, dropping 8 defenders into zones and Brees still finding the opening target, lack of adjustments, and bad blitz designs and timing. Defense hasn't been the same since Mcdermott left.

The players he has aren’t the best. He probably trust 3 players total on this defense. If that. And two are Rookies. It’s hard to trust complete garbage to not be complete garbage. Somehow, he’s made chicken salad out of chicken poo so far.

Exactly.
