We Have the 6th Ranked Pass Defense

[jtnc]

Why does everyone think Hogan is going to be so good right away?

No one said he was gonna be good right away, we're excited to see what he can do, he's been practicing with the team for weeks just can't take him off the unable to physically play list until after week 6.

Because talent wise he was graded as a late 1st or 2nd, character concerns hurt his stock, much like Hardy.

heh, stats mean so little at this point, because they are influenced so much by who you play.

this is not a good pass defense at all... the two primarily passing offenses we faced pretty much ripped us up.

So to all those people crying in the offseason that we needed another corner :rolleyes:

When you have the 30th ranked rush defense, people don't really ever need to pass the ball.;)

PUP players are not allowed to practice until after the first 6 games

Brees will change this stat this weekend.

You think we are going to easily stop Ingram, Sproles, and Pierre?

[countryboi]

the pass defense is only good cause they are running the ball down our throats

Maybe, but the Saints have a decent run game, at least I think they do. They might just decide to follow the model thats been working against us.

This happens when your run defense is so pooty that teams have no need to pass the ball on you.

Statistically your pass defense looks awesome because fewer passes are being attempted.

logic ftw

Thought Hardy's stock fell because of injury/durability concerns. What did he do for character concerns - steal a laptop?

I look forward to him improving our takeaway ratio.

He was said to have a bad attitude and wouldn't take coaching.

To show how much stats mean this early, the Texans had the #1 defense before their game against the Saints. Right after, they were 14th.
