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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
