Lofton Not Satisfied With Defense in Scrimmage

Article from Katherine Terrell on NOLA.com.
"Right now as a defense, we're far, far from where we need to be," he said. "So we've got to keep grinding out there.
"I have standards. I don't think there's anything wrong with having high standards. I don't want to be average. And we were pretty average today."
Lofton said the issue was missed tackles and giving up big plays, including the plays to Cooks and another touchdown to Jimmy Graham.
"Last year when we first started, that was our Achilles heel, we kept giving up big plays," he said. "So then we got the big plays taken care of and we started missing tackles. So that's what we've got to focus on as a defense."
"I'm disappointed we didn't go out and dominate but at the same time I'm kind of glad," he said. "As a defensive player if you're out here and think you've made it, something is wrong. So boom, you get knocked back down and that makes everyone refocus and come together."

He's never satisfied with anything, why not just enjoy life?

Will "enjoying life" help the defense get stops and help the team win games?

Guess we will never find out
It's not regular season yet people, calm down. I think Lofton is highly underrated.This post was edited on 8/2/14 at 5:28 pm

Don't be sexist.

Hmm.. Can't tell if it's a testimony to how poor the defense was today or how good Cooks and Graham are that they're dominating a top 5 defense in the league?

Well, it seemed like our RB's ran wild, too.
Maybe our OL is amazing.
But I'm dubious since Grubbs isn't even playing.
