What is also funny is that i went back and forth in the off season debating that the Saints defense would suck this year and that Spags was not the great defensive mind he was reported to be. I also said they would finish last in the division and that losing Payton would be a huge blow to the team.

Seems I was right on all counts.

*Panthers drop 993 yards on Saints, sweep them in the division, worst defense in history*

"but but we didn't have our offensive genius!"

lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Before the 2012 Saints established themselves as the worst defense in the history of the NFL during the last week of the season, the 1981 Baltimore Colts held the record for giving up 6793 yards.

Did you know that Joe Vitt, New Orleans Saints current interim head coach, was also a defensive coach for those same Baltimore Colts in 1981?

I did not and that's hilarious.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
