#Saints D was fun to watch today. A lot of nickel and dime lineups with a lot of pass rushers on field together. Some lineups with no DTs.

For example, sometimes Will Smith was on the edge for #Saints. Sometimes he had his hand on the ground with another LB outside of him.

#Saints ILB Lofton shot inside for what would have been a sack of Drew Brees if they were going full contact at start of team drills.


quote:

Mike Triplett ?@MikeTriplett 8h
Great talk with #Saints DL coach Bill Johnson. Said more important than scheme is "energy." "We lost our energy last year."

Drew Talks About Facing Ryan's Defense

Lofton Speaks!

I never know what to think about news like this. Does this mean the Defense is playing really good or that the O-Line is playing like crap?

This is good news but I'm keeping a very wait and see attitude about this D. I'm optimistic but not confident.

I like hearing news like that.

Sounds like the defense revolves around Will Smith.

From the T-P piece:

quote:

Johnson said the biggest difference between a 3-4 and a 4-3 is that it's harder for a quarterback to decifer which players will be rushing and which players will be dropping in coverage.

This excites me a lot, you could tell that the players just weren't all that excited to play because it was clear Spags system wasn't a fit.

Even if the defense still sucks, I expect it to get back to GW style where they at least get enough TOs and stop to win games. The switch to more man over zone will help this as our secondary is designed for that, hoping the 3-4 change will then bring more sacks which I think it will.

I like these quotes but I am skeptical if we're going to see a transition to the 3-4 that works and doesn't frick us this season.

Not to be Debbie Downer, but the NO media says this kind of shite EVERY year for the OTA's and training camp. Hard to get too excited. Hopefully our D is getting better tho......it can't be any worse.

Yeah, the D lost that, along with their anal virginity.

OK but heres the thing, 1. this is a totally different defense and scheme from last year, 2. you never heard any of the players excited about playing in the defense or the offense saying that defense was causing them to second guess themselves. so to me all this is encouraging news so maybe you guys just need to have a little faith.
