re: Seriously, what the hell happened to the Saints?

The problem defensively is that the scheme the Saints run this year is a complete opposite from the one they ran under Gregg Williams
Spags needs front 4 pass rush, which the Saints are not built to have, because the D-line in williams' defense was basically there to block people so the blitzes could get home.
The coverages are WAY more complicated. The pressure packages are more zone based. If he had guys that fit his system they'd probably be ok.
Offensively..they really miss Sean Payton's ability to make in-game adjustments and hide the weaknesses of his team. Not to mention the week-to-week preparation aspect.

The Saints defensive line has actually played very well against the run this year. Brodrick Bunkley and Cam Jordan have done a REALLY nice job in run situations.
Particularly jordan, who's done a good job setting the edge all year in the run game. The problem is, linebacker play outside of Curtis Lofton has been invisible for the Saints so nobody can really tell.
