re: Explain to me why the Saints defense will be better this year.

#2: new DC that allows a more instinctive style of aggressive defensive attack instead of a scheme happy Spags defense that relied too much on a pass rush that never happened.

In my opinion it was this change more than anything that will show significant improvement in the defense. Spags tried to make Harper a cover safety which is not his strong suit at all. He is an in the box tackling safety. This put more pressure on malcom Jenkins (which receives alot of criticism from on this board when actually the whole def sucked) and the corners. Spags was a terrible DC for us and didn't recognize this.

It is true, it can only get better and with putting freaks like martez Wilson, butler, and gallete on the field more you have to think it will improve.
