The Saints "dirty" defense...

I had a random thought the other day. I remember during the saints superbowl run everybody was saying that they were a dirty team because they beat up Brett Favre in the playoffs. Greg Williams was classless piece of poo.

But didn't we do that to Donovan McNabb in 2003?

He went down and all that was needed was a touch but instead of that one of our guys dove right into his ribs. It was rucker, favors, or wallace I can't quite remember. It affected the torque behind his throws and eventually took him out of the game. It was one of the biggest stories of the game.

Just wondering what fans would think if Brett Farve fell and Will Smith dove into his ribs.

Rules have drastically changed since 03. I saw something on ESPN a while ago, where it gave insight on those hits the Panthers did. And it explained how they were totally legal. If our corners played today like they did in 03....we would set a record for P.I. calls. Times have changed, and they're were a lot of no calls in that Saints game that should have been called.

That was one late hit on McNabb, the Saints took numerous shots at Farve and Greg Williams spent the whole week leading up to the game talking about how they were going to do that... then this offseason Sharper made an "X marks the spot" comment in relation to Farve's ankle.

thank you very much; that one hit you guys put on McNabb as 100 times worse than any hit we put on ANYONE thru the playoffs.

^^what does that have to do with the saints being dirty? nothing ok, you just wanted to get a shot in, nice. :thumbsup:

my point is i'd gladly take a dirty defense that accomplishes something over what we have here. Gary Williams was a great signing and all they've done since they got him is win a super bowl.

NFL is a physical sport, trying to say one team is dirty is a bit of a stretch. All the good defenses get accused of this. No one accuses the defense that can't wrap up or rarely hit qbs as being dirty.

    • 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.
