Former St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo has agreed to become defensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.

Didn't see this posted yet.

As much as I'd hate to say, this will make them significantly better on that side of the ball. Should be a tough match for us next year. But at least that dirty man tits douche can't cheap shot our guys anymore.

Thoughts?

Spags is a good coordinator yet it doesn't mean they will be any better. After all look at us. Rivera had the best defense in 2010. Didn't really help us in 2011 when he came here.

St Louis was ranked 22nd in total yards in 2011, New Orleans was ranked 24th.

St Louis was ranked 19th in 2010.

Might be better as a coordinator than HC. Time will tell.......

Don't worry it's almost guaranteed we'll win at home since the Saints are pretty much allergic to real grass. We'll have a revamped defense and beat your ass in the dome. :nopity:

Gee, the 49ers are supposed to have the best defense, had an extra week of rest, had an extra week of film study and planning, played at home, yet what happened to their home average of allowing 11 points per game? Oh yeah, the offense basically tripled it even with an amazing 5 turnovers. 1 or 2 less turnovers would have resulted in normal 40 burger. The issue wasn't grass, it was defensive calls at end of game.

Bottom line, an amazing performance by vaunted niners defense didn't hold Saints under 30, so your revamped defense is a fairy tale you're telling yourself to help you try to be positive this offseason.

Bottom line is that you still lost, and to a 9ers team that has the most vanilla offense in the nfl. We already a have high powered offense plus with a revamped defense I'm sure we have a good chance of sweeping you guys.

Typical saints logic: "we put up a shitload of points on the best defense and still lost! YAY!"

At least this board lets rival fans sign up and voice their opinions. Those pussies over at Saintsreport won't let us sign up or delete a negative thread as soon as it's posted.

Welcome to a real man's board.

Oh, and fug you.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
