Remember when Blatche was our coordinator? "Bend but don't break"? What a joke lol

Didn't Blache produce a couple of top-5 defenses?

takethecake · 09-14-2012, 12:12 AM

That is entirely possible. I just remember having a lot of moments where the skins were playing prevent defense and screaming at the TV "STOP GIVING THEM FREE YARDS!!!"

I'm reserving judgement. Our front 7 looked good, but everything else was poop. We got lucky calls from the refs, and more importantly the saints dropped ALOT of balls. The saints were also driving at the end. I'm not excited about the whole 32 points thing either. The defense crumbled at the end.

Yeah they may have been 'top five' but they did a lot of prevent defense, which we all know the saying, it 'prevents you from winning'. He was very conservative on defense as well, never wanting to blitz. Thank god he's not our D Coordinator anymore

I like what they've done so far.

Really? I thought coverage was pretty solid especially when you consider they played a ton of man. Wilson and Griffin both stood out to me as having strong games.

Anytime you hold Brees under 50% and pick him off twice you're doing something right. Oh and 2/11 on 3rd downs.

^^ Word. I think I saw several specific improvements. First, fewer plays of totally blown coverage by DBs and safeties. Last year it seemed to happen pretty often, mostly with Hall but Wilson too. Second, more aggressiveness and definitely guys head-hunting back there, which makes WRs sketchy and probably led to some of the drops by Saints WRs. I also thought blitzes out of the secondary were more effective than we've seen. Just my two cents.

I still wish we had #30 to bust a head or two every now and then. He is KILLING people for the Jets.

Yea, well don't worry his Achilles or something else will be killing him in a couple of weeks.

What do you guys have to say about Haslett now? I'm sorry, but if you can't adjust to Danny Amendola you don't deserve to be a DC. I would replace him with Raheem Morris as DC, also Danny Smith has got to go.

Coaching got lazy preparing schematicly for this team and failed to motivate thier own.

DynamiteRave · 09-16-2012, 08:43 PM

Haslett sucks as a defensive coordinator, but Danny Smith worries me more as his special teams units have sucked for years now.

Alvin Walton · 09-16-2012, 08:44 PM

Our secondary made an average Ram offense look great.
The defensive play calling suxxored.
